@DJ_L3ThAL It's orfy's recipe from the net should be pretty easy to find ( I got it from brewmans brewbuilder) . I haven't tried the original but have heard good things so thought I would have a crack . I'm brewing atm but I can post the recipe if you like tomorrow if you can't find it

yep going to have a play with this especially as I am pretty much starting with a blank canvas so to speak

Yeah covered all my cleaning in another thread mate basically left fermenters full of bi carb soda in bewteen brews . I'm not getting the soapy taste myself just the wife .

Thanks mate , the boss is happy with a recent lager and my other keg of ale will be gone by end of the footy tonight (go swans), I have 2 ales that will be next for the kegerator so if she still thinks they are soapy after my change in cleaning schedule I'll shoot you down a few samples . As...

God help me I'm joining the crew just ordered 2 of the 26 litre kegmenters today from ibrew

Well yesterday's double brew day I took quite alot of ph readings Both brews had a good mash ph's of 5.23 and 5.2 My sparge PH which is just charcoal filtered water was 7.17 Wort PH into fermenter was 5.58 and 5.50 Interestingly I was at my son's football best and fairest count and had a few...

Thanks Mardoo greatly appreciated

First brew done and my post boil PH was 5.58 at room temp is this a little high? and if so is there any easy fix as I am not near a homebrew store

Interesting may have to look at adding something to slightly lower my wort ph to get around 4 for my ales and see if this makes any difference

Most hops are from brewman so don't think that is an issue , some are dry hopped but not all . Brewing today so hopefully new cleaning regime might solve the problem

Won't be using garden hose anymore , didn't even think of using bathtub

puting down a 150 lashes clone and a galaxy and topaz wheat beer tomorrow

out of interest I checked both my current beers ph that are carbed 4.27 and 4.29 , I'm leaning towards the bicarb soda as my issue
