What philrob said. I make 23l batches and with most beers I’d need about 5.5kg of grain to get 23l of 1045 wort. My standard bill is 6kg and that gives me 1050 to 1054 on 23l depending on how it goes on the day I don’t have guten , just do biab so my losses To true are probably worse than...

I went for the high end , like I do with all Saisons so say 27. flavour wise it was pretty neutral and tart. More estery for sure. I had a **** work day yesterday and had pounded a few beers. So my flavor detection may be a little off.

Damn. 28 liters of 1048 wort , pitched Sunday morning. Wednesday evening 1004. Ballistic

no one eh. so I bought it , brewed Saturday and pitched the rustic yesterday . Pitched cold like the instructions said and i had krausen and bubbling 9 hours after pitching . its going ape ****

personally I would've just guessed and pitched anyway . you could always adjust later with more water or some dex I do wonder why HBS anrt open sundays. its a potential brew day. plenty of people needing supplies

seriously star san . 473 ml is $21.50 . Im super wasteful with it and make 2l at a time which is 3ml per batch .157 batches form a bottle . like 13c a batch . its even cheaper if you buy a big one

the blue ones like at bunnings ? I know some use them fine, but I don't think they are "officially" rated to the temps the wort will be these are the commonly used ones https://www.thebrewshop.com.au/cube-drum-20.html

well the mash will be no problem.But then you're basically boiling sugar for 60 mins . it gets damm hot. a bit over 100 .Id say anything plastic will be cactus ,unless it designed to take that kind of heat I have to admit I'm not a camper. I don't know what a drop in camp boiler is no...

maybe . depend on the quality of your fermenter I guess but you would have all the trub from the boil still in there I tired once to cool in my fridge once and it took forever. once the fridge gets warm it is insulated .its way quicker putting it in a cube and letting it sit overnight on the...

So I need to order a few bits pieces. New biab bag and some other small stuff. Was thinking of doing a saison next as it’s been 6 months since my last one and one of the online stores I use stocks imperial yeast. They just got a delivery of the rustic saison yeast. So thinking of grabbing...

cool. Ill pitch it tonight and see how it goes. I'll have a bit more head room this time. first batch was 26 l in 30 l fermenter,which I have done many times but not with this yeast I guess the dubbel is only 22l

so, just made a single that was going to be the starter for a Dubbel. But after bottling first batch im a little hesitant to reuse the yeast. First batch all Pilsner,mashed lowish at 64 d For 90 min. og 1056. It was A violent fermentation. Blew through the air lock constantly. Cleaned it up...

I fell like a coopers kit is going to be way above a $10 smokin’ salt and hops product.

I doubt they will hold pressure once carbonated also clear bottles Are a bad idea. Sunlight will Ruin the beer

not sure you'd say the are micro any more but 4 piens is at manly. a ferry ride across the harbour but bang for your buck inner west for sure. get a train to sydenham and there's a bunch withing walking distance

Cascade and mosaic are great together. Just finished drinking a batch of pirate life pale ale copy that used both. And it was tasty. For some reason I’m not huge on galaxy in general. It’s neevr my go to. The beers o have made with it I haven’t enjoyed as much as others so I don’t use it. Just...

So tried one after a week in the bottle and I’m pretty impressed. Color has def matured To be pretty close and flavor def Ticks allot of the boxes. Need to get 1 to compare. Will only get better as it’s only a week.

I just ordered online and chose pay pal but it didn't take me to any PayPal payment screen what are your payment details ?

I’ll order and pay for the yeast on the site tomorrow to Keep things moving . I’ll put it as pick up as it will be packed with shacked’s order. I’ll make a note it’s me.

def tap IMHO. easier to bottle and to test gravity along the way, and its less to sanitize and go wrong personally i just don't like PET bottles ,never have .I know its the same and its all in my head , but I just prefer using glass. My first set up was a present and it came with a FWK...
