You missed out on my wheat beer Martin, part of the inspiration for it was your longing for one. 3. DJ_L3THAL - English Brown Well yes it's rather carbed. From the bottle I'm smelling nuttiness, it's like a Snickers and very alluring. In the glass it's quite dark but up against a strong...

try the wheat

ALRIGHTY I brewed this recipe back in April and have it on tap at the moment. I bought a longneck of Coopers Best Extra Stout and put them up against one another. Mine's on the left, a small sample only for comparison: Mine came in at 6.6% vs. BES at 6.3%. Colour-wise they're both black but...

Just checked DJ and my bottle is tight AF. Chilling as we speak, expect some lighthearted feedback shortly.

10. Shortybronx - Sierra Nervada Pale Ale I'm going to don my constructive hat but I do feel like I'm a negative Nancy or just very hard to impress. I tried this not knowing what/who brewed it (just reached into the fridge) and tried to put together feedback based on 'the unknown'. In the glass...

Nah wasn't damaged from the weekend Martin, these counterfeit Arduino units are notoriously temperamental. My gear definitely got doused by that sweet sweet wort and I think I might have even done it myself once. It was an accident waiting to happen so I'll bend up some brackets next time. The...

I brew beer and don't possess a single milk crate.

STC-1000 this weekend it is. No TFT display and step programming, the struggles of life.

Arduino Nano malt junkie? Would be stellar if you could. I have 3 in the mail coming from NT and will order a 12 > 5V converter as well to do away with Arduino regulator issues. Apparently this is a common fault.

I know you've all been dying to know what happened to my brew controller and why it stopped working on the swap. Grab a chair and gather round... Firstly who spilt half a cup of wort in my brew container? The container was lined with mould and fungus, half the gear was coated in mould and the...

Spot on

Which for the domestic user with be a function of mains pressure which barely changes. I've only got about 150 kPa at my joint so my single-membrane system takes a good 6h to fill 20 litres. If only I had the luxury of a jacking pump.

Correct me if I'm wrong Ash44 but I thought the biggest bearing on small domestic RO units was water pressure? Being that the higher the pressure the better the flow and less waste water. I bought a unit from onlinebrewingsupplies a while ago that he no longer stocks. Definitely one of the best...

At the end of the day if we're brewing beer we're brewing something to consume and enjoy. Why he's asking others whether or not it should be bottled baffles me a bit. Taste it and if it tastes good, bottle*. There's a pretty sure-fire certainty it won't but judging by the comments in this thread...

Was it not just the rye?

4. AJ - Grapefruit Pale Timely. Looks textbook, slightly hazy with a standard orange / lightly burnt copper hue. On the fizzier side of carb which for mine is par. A hint of hops and bitter citrus on the nose. Flavour-wise... a winner. It's a US pale ale with nothing that shouts out and...

How would that work from a control point of view, only heat the counterflow fluid? I think that would work fine but would need an extra pump. A straight HERMS would be simpler. What's the main benefit of the counterflow?

I've tried using a hop sock to filter the hops when dumping into the fermenter with some success and some failure. At The Reject Shop in town I found a $5 strainer that looked to be a good kitchen accessory for you know, straining 2 minute noodles. I've used it a few times on the fermenter and I...

Now I'm hella confused. The Little Creatures keg had 'something' not right with it. I was told there was a keg with classic diacetyl so a few of us gathered around to sample. To my taste/understanding it wasn't, but I definitely agreed it had a butterscotch smell about it which is the common...

Ha, did nobody say anything? Pretty sure you had the Little Creatures Bright Ale keg. It definitely had some sort of fault and we were informed it was DMS. No such issue with your other beers though.
