bump. so any ideas? I think I'll put the beer into some unused kegs and see what happens. Is the high gravity reading a problem in itself?

Total volume was 45l using dry yeast(weihenstefaner safel 32/66?). ferment TEmp is around 18c. There was activity in fermentor for a couple of days (though not crazy like some brews) Grain was pilsner malt (3kg), flaiked maize(250g)and rice hulls(200g) done in a plastic bucket (electrbrim that...

I put down a brew last week that was to be my first AG that became a mini mash of sorts. I've used a Coopers mexican cervesa kit with around 20l wort from a AG that went wrong (had trouble keeping mash temp in good range for one.) My OG was 1.032 which was what my recipe stated but it has...

If he wants beer in those kegs then go to a bottle-o that sells kegs (in Perth only pub drive throughs bother to sell kegs) Otherwise use Corney kegs as filling up 50L is a bugger and hard to work in a closed environment like these kegs (though possible)

There are 5 micros in the swan valley (i'm trying to get out there as I've only been to Feral). The old swan brewery is an excellent place as well. Some of the beers are quite good but the ambience is supurb, excellent place to take your partner as well.

Thanks Jayse, my GF dad works at a hardware store so I've just got him to get me a quote. Hopefully the price will be in budget (or I won't be eating again tonight)

Hi guys, Ive just ordered a pump from specialK and wondering what plumbing gear is needed (and where can i get it) I was going to use Brass 1/2 fittings at this stage as SS is a bit steep, though a future option. I also notice plastic stuff from guys like Colder in the US. Are these OK or too...

I have been attempting to do a mash in inadaquate equipment and have had trouble keeping the temperature at a good temp and am not sure that I have converted all of the starches. Should I ditch it and start again later with better gear or could I still use it . i.e will the beer be drinkable?

Fosters and Lion Nathan don't like to sell their kegs. Ask a local publican or sports club, they often have old unused kegs lying around

Excellent diagram, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers I'll get this brewery yet!!!

I've been aquiring bits and pieces for an AG rig for a while now and am now thinking of getting a pump after some inspirational posts here. What is the best value pump for me to start with and where could I get it from? I have seen that an aquarium pump can be used if its pumping height is ok...

This is a big problem in OZ though. I work in the industry and I have to check every batches BB when it comes in due to the nature of the beast. Not because I think the beer is 'off' but because customers may complain and it becomes a hard sale. Lots of imported beer arrives in Perth close to...

Was the beer OK? If it was not then it would be an issue but many beers are good way after their BB date...hell Coopers uses a best after label.

More importantly where can i find out details on the brew enhancer and coopers kits to incorperate them in a beersmith or promash recipe?

I've got the inside of my door off but have discovered the door is insulated with some fibre mats not unlike roof insulation bats. This process is turning out to be not as straightforward as I had hoped. Quick question what width is standard beer line (8mm or 10mm). I'll post some photos soon...

I have a tap and a threaded connector that I am going to put in a fridge door (i.e kegerator) The length of the threaded pipe that goes into the fridge door appears shorter than the width of the door. The door is sheet metal and has plastic inlay (where butter container and shelves are built...

where would I find this grains website?

cheers for the response people. I sterilised some ice cream containers and have put them in the freezer(didn't boil water though.. I use tap water usually without treatment and it goes ok) I will use a modified version of the fermentation chest (put fermenter in bath and top up with ice) Thanks...

i have some data from water corp and local pool place but need specifics on my local water, will eventually get reverse osmosis If i have to but at this stage must make do. Any brewers in Perth have figiures I can use?

Is it a good idea to drop the brew temp by adding ice with water when doing an extract brew I know that I want the temp to drop quickly so I can pitch the yeast at a good temp (and the days are getting hotter here in Perth) but can dropping the temp too quickly cause any harm?
