Hey guys. Relativly new brewer. Got 4 under my belt and doing my first pilsner next weekend. Guys ive been reading up on all grain meathods, traditional mashing and sparging is a bit beyond me at this point id say and I dont have the equipment. However BIAB seems the goods. Does this method work...

Yeah im a new brewer. I just got 4 brews under my belt and bottling my first 2 brews tomorrow. I woulda lover to jump straigt into allgrain but so glad I didnt. Sanitation temp control knowing the stages of fermentation is important. If you wanna start at an intermediate level like did dtart by...

I have a ball lock pet bottle cap with barb on its way, a y- fitting and a keg king mini reg with 16g chargers on its way. Im going to be hacking my TK so I can still dispense shop bought bottles as well as having a ball lock on the external so as to easily hook in my mini reg. The reason I am...

Ok cool. 1. To start ill get two cornys, I have a mini reg for 16g chargers on the way for my hacked TK. That reg will allow me to purge/ pressurise my cornys and larger some pils in my new fridge whilst I get the rest of the tap/kegging system set up. 1a. Can I use like a picnic tap with my...

Hey guys, managed to pick up a fridge for free yesterday. I wanna be able to still use the freezer (oh well the missus does) and I wanna use the fridge to start getting into kegging, largering, and storing fresh wort for starters and fresh yeast cultures (will the cold temps upset the dormant...

So I did a 50lt boil today with the above stated recipe (doubled). Took way to long and im worn out (not quite sure why it took so long) Finally after adding boiled and cooled water to make two FV to 23lt I pitched a rehydrated and proofed us05 to one and a a 1.5lt started wyeast 1272 to the...

Yeah was an activator pack. My calcs say 23lt is aprox 1.055 OG so the bloke at the LHBS said starter was the best way to go. Then through reading I figured I could grow the colony and chuck some in the fridge.

Guys I made a starter for a 1.5l wyeast 1272 last night and its going great guns, instead of stepping up I wanna split this in half then feed each batch some fresh wort. How do I do this? Do I shake all the kruasen and sediment back into the starter and split ot give it a gental wurl to get the...

When I go to split my starter at high kruasen do I shake the sedement and kruasen back into the wort/beer before spliting? Then feed new wort to each? Need some guidence on this next step. Cheers

Haha the man himself, I have seen so many good things writen about your AG golden and couldnt pass up the opertunity. I chose to go the extract most closly matching your AG composition as after all its an award winning beer, and I font yet know how to brew AG. I did read on a different forum...

I ended up doing a 3 and a bit litre boil. Some I got a 1.5lt ish starter to which I pitched my 1272 and fitted an airlock to a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized coke bottle. I also noe have 6 stubbies capped and in the fridge as fresh wort to be used to cultivate/ grow the current culture...

Nah Extract brewing. Boiling wort doing grain steeping and hops. Pretty much starting 10-11am sunday on the boil so will need it some time there after. Maybe 2-3pm

If I pitched my acticated 1273 inyo 1.5l of dme with nutrien would I be able to pitch 2/3rds sunday and cultivate the other 1/3rd should I run outta time to step up?

How long does each step up usually take at 18c ish. Im making a golden ale. OG expected aroung 1.050

So brew day is sunday. I have like 40 hours maybe tops. I activated my wyeast 1272 last night when I weny to bed and she ready to pop. I was going to make a starter tonight using dme and yeast nutrient. Being my first time using liquid im a bit green at this method. basically however my question...

Thanks stewy, Not so much going for a clone, lets call it a replica of soughts? When I get into all grain or even BIAB ill give his real recipe a go and compare. Im really hoping it works out well. My laundry is a pretty constant 17-18c and my garage around 16ish but its been getting colder over...

Thanks nizmoose. Im getting more use to just letting it do its thing. I still find myself 2nd guessing myself however as im lerning more and experiancing new things im getting more just chilax about it. Thanks

Hey mate. Im pretty green and not proven yet as I havnt even got my first brew into bottles yet. I have been working on playing around with % quantities of all-grain recipes to come up with similar % using specific LME and DME. I know itll makr a different beer and all that but if you have a...
