I'm in Raceview, I'll have to get myself there one night in the new year [emoji16]

Sorry to be digging in the graveyard, but can anyone tell me with the broccoli box setup how to stop it leaking everywhere as the ice melts? Does the duct tape seal it enough? I'm hoping to do this over the weekend for Christmas and don't want to slipping over whoever I pour a beer

What is 201 stainless steel? I've only ever seen 304 or 316...

Thanks for the replies all. I do already have the carb cap for PET bottles but am looking to bottle into glass. On a side note I have also found the carb capped bottles don't seem to hold their carbonation very well ie a few days to a week and they're flat. Is this normal or could it be I need...

Hi all I'm in the market for a counter pressure bottle filler as a Christmas present for myself. Anyone have a recommendation as the best available for $150 or less? Cheers Chap

Hurried job on the tap numbers, but the paint came up nice [emoji16]

Hi all A friend of a friend (legitimate) is clearing out his late fathers home, and has 200+ 750ml glass tallies up for grabs. I have taken 100 or so as that's all I can store for now. The bottles are dusty and could use a wash before use but free bottles are free bottles (pic attached of the...

Coodgee yes pretty sure it's 2oC, measured with a brand new digital thermometer accurate to within 1oC. Could be faulty but I have some ice crystals in my last cold crash batch so I think it should be pretty close. Not using any sort of kettle finings at the moment but seems the consensus is...

Manticle us-05 yeast and fermentation complete before cold crash

Manticle, on this occasion yes, and the same cloudiness as the pic. G4WAU, I don't normally raise the temp no, but I'll give it a shot if it will make some difference

I do move the fermenter about 2 metres gently to be able to transfer the keg. I transfer via hose from primary to the bottom of the keg and avoid splashing as much as possible. I normally have at least 4-5L of beer which doesn't fit in the keg which I'll bottle 6-10 stubbies of, leaving at least...

Just reading back and looks like I missed that [emoji51]. I do cold crash for 1 week at about 2oC before transferring to the keg. When using finings, do they go to the keg or kettle? As mentioned I want to bottle some brews for Christmas so keg additions I will look into, but want to clear it...

Thanks for your replies so far everyone, very much appreciated. I am still in the fermentation stage of my current brew which should be finishing up in the next couple of days, however I would like to get some thoughts on my last 2 brews which were we're ridiculously hazed. I'd like to mention...

Hi all, So I've done a total of 3 BIAB brews now, and while I'm still dialling in my system I've got an issue I'm hoping I can get some help with. In my last brew the wort came from the urn crystal clear, but I've just taken a sample to test gravity and it's pretty cloudy. My last 2 brews...

I'm in, i need another controller to lager!

Glad you liked it mate, one of my fav to drink and being an extract brew its fairly quick to make if you're time poor.

My next step was to measure gravity of what I have and put into fermenter to confirm a final volume to confirm my numbers with the limited tools and knowledge I have at this stage. But as you said having the numbers in the middle will help me improve my processes. Spot on with the grain bill -...

thanks for the input guys, appreciate the tips. Turns out a sparge step has helped me bring up the numbers. I'm into my next brew now (IPA) ramping up to the boil and happy to say i hit my preboil gravity of 1.053. Mashed in 20L @ 67oC, squeezed bag and sparged with 10L of 70oC water. Unsure of...

I'm in qld so obviously won't be there but look forward to reading up on it. My head retention from bottles seems to be lacking and would love to improve it

Really loving this beer. Nice refresher after knockoff time and still able to drive at just 1 standard drink per can. Good fruity/pine aroma and flavour. Also love the full open can top, if you don't have a glass you can still get your nose in there and smell the goodness
