I would say use the s-189 at 16 degrees don't you think? That's how the commercial lagers are brewed I thought? And I would have thought use can sugar instead of dextrose. And maybe 10 grams of roasted barley for colour. Not that I have ever tried before, but been reading these forums for a long...

I did this honey lager recently, it turned out very nicely. Very distinct honey aroma, quite strong for the first month but it fades in time a bit. For a light lager style beer you really want the lightest, most delicately flavoured honey only - something like a blue gum honey. For the dark...

actually I have one that I never use. I'm in QLD. What are you offering?

lots of calculators here that you might find useful https://www.brewersfriend.com/stats/

no I can type like a mofo, it's the brain that is slow :)

So, to calculate the amount of alcohol in your beer, the equation is [(starting gravity - final gravity) / final gravity] * 133% There are two factors you can influence here, obviously, the starting gravity and the finishing gravity. To get more alcohol you can start with a higher gravity...

we were on our way out to Cunningham's gap when she came in for landing at Amberley. Flew right over the highway almost right above us. Impressive sight. Quinny, if you like VB then brewing lager might be your go. You need a fridge for that. But if you can't be arsed we are coming into winter...

Use 1.5 cubes of fresh wort? Or do a double batch with 3?

All good advice from hairydog above. Just in case you don't realise, a lot of kit brews instruct brewers to keep their fermenting beer at or above 25 degrees or something like that. That advice is not for the best tasting beer, it just means you are most likely to make something that will get...

is it called stellarsan? seems to be a keg king knock off. the cap fell apart for me too.

Yes. Because people have been using starsan for many years, it is an easy, cheap and effective sanitiser and there are no noticeable negative benefits to the beers produced by equipment sanitised by starsan.

what suburb are you in? Northside there is hoppy days, out east you have craftbrewer and at cannon hill there is cannon hill brewing. Those are the only 3 I use. all 3 have a physical shop.

must be bad if you're resorting to brewers choice!

Mark, honest question, why does vienna add so much more body to a beer? from the Wyerman specs sheet, it's just a regular kilned malt at 6-9 EBC, which is within the range of some ale malts. I did a honey lager recently which was 80% vienna, 10% munich and 10% honey and it was very smooth and...

yeah mate you're probably just stirring up the sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Pour it gently and leave the last couple of centimetres worth of beer in the bottle.

When I bought my KK kegerator a few years ago, a home brew shop here said they wouldn't sell them with the taps they came with because they were inferior quality. So that might be true, but it was a way for them to make some margin on the taps and font etc. and then all the other bits like line...

^That's a west coas ipa alright!

Any 50g+ combo of citra simcoe or Ella will turn it into a hoppy American pale ale.
