Forgive me for having to do a double take earlier as I thought the post about cleaning was a troll post. If you want to maximise chances or making good beer you have to be a cleaner first, brewer second. Most of my time spent making beer is on cleaning and sanitising equipment. Everyone has...

Coopers Pale Ale is in reality a fairly bland beer with the distinctive flavour derived from the yeast. If you're new to it all I'd use this opportunity to learn about yeast re-culturing and focus on that only. The kit tins have been brewed with hops else they would lack appropriate bitterness...

Check out those photos, some wicked gear there. Rubbing my hands together contemplating the thought of opening up my own brewery...

After an appalling example of a pilsner some time back, I've risked a Rutherglen IPA 'Turon Widow'. Happy to say it's decent. Sells like an IPA without being a shining example. Not an overtly hoppy pale ale, an IPA. Fruity hops with borderline pine and pushing more on the juicy side. Give it a...

It'll be a Z929, bearings always have the letter as a prefix. A quick search on Alibaba yeilds price <$1 each. Try CBC, SKF or any bearing supplier and they may either have them or can get them in stock. The old ones will be a clearance fit on the shaft and with some force will slide off. If...

I think the problem with scorching on the element is more likely related to solids making their way from the mash through to the boil. You're doing BIAB from what I can gather, what sort method do you use to contain the grains? If you're getting too much particulate matter through to the boiler...

I haven't been active here in a while, checked back and have found that the entertainment values is akin to the 'good ol' days of AHB' that I was barely privy to. Is there a difference to being offended and just having the *****? I tire with people going out of their way to be politically...

Is there ever an occasion for a special beer when a Duvel doesn't fit the bill? That grainy, sweet alcoholic flavour. Surely not.

By memory mine ended up around there. I used an English yeast I hadn't used before. Details a few pages back.

Another year, another patersbier. Did this with BB pale instead of the usual Bestmalz and must say it's just not as good. Cloudy for some reason. Hard to believe a subtle difference like a Pils malt would have such an impact on how it tastes, but there you go. Still better that most macro tap...

My experience with very small motors is limited, but 13% seems excessive. I could strobe mine if there is anything to achieve by doing it.

I'm looking at my original green Keg King motor and the specs on the nameplate are identical to the one you linked except for the current and voltage. They're teh same pump. Will absolutely be adequate for what you want however, the one you've listed is 110V/US so if you're in Australia don't...

Of course it is heathen, Benjamin Franklin didn't spend his life's work studying probably the most significant form of energy to shape modern life only to have it pushed aside in favour of simply 'burning' something that's been sitting in the ground for millennia. Disregarding how we actually...

May I suggest that kegs are a complete pain in the arse to fit heat exchangers to? Refer hilarity: One of my first posts If you are still game I advise cutting the tops of the kegs off completely and having a reaaaaaaaally good think about how you're going to install the heating elements, as I'm...

So happens that my neighbour is an all-'round good sport and slaughters his own stock. I'm sure if I tried hard enough I might be able to 'get hold' of a roo, get it butchered and somehow serve* it among the brewing masses. If it's a bonfire you want then I'd better get started on the woodpile...

What a selection of chilli sauces... the regret, it burns!

I must have been drunk when it was discussed. Cheerfully withdrawn, can do winter 2019 though this part of the world sees all 4 seasons. Regular overnight freezes, regular +40s over summer.

Some fascinating posts providing some further insight into fellow members' minds. On-topic, I've seen this beer at a few venues now but cannot bring myself to drink it using my own cash. Were it not for the blurb on post #1 I might have given it a shot. Remarkably, Great Northern took off and...
