I had a look at the grain and it was milled at my LHBS pretty well from what i understand (no bigger than half a grain per bit, with a couple of full grains but not too many from what I could tell). I was hoping to hit the 1.040 - 1.045 range, but I think I may not have enough grain or too...

Hi all, So i've just done my first all grain batch - DSGA, BIAB in 40L crown urn no sparge, no chill, and seemed to have missed the numbers by a lot. details as follows: 2.4kg Pale malt (BB) 0.8kg Munich malt 0.8kg Wheat malt 0.25kg Caramunich Mash @ 66oC for 60 mins in 35L water, no sparge...

Hi all I'm in the middle of my first all grain brew (DSGA BIAB) and am wanting get my head around a few things. Firstly, when should I be taking gravity readings? Are there any others I should take other than pre and post boil? And what readings will I need to calculate efficiency? Cheers Chap

Mines an unmarked brown PET with a galaxy pale ale. Tastes like S&W pacific but the colour is a standard pale ale colour. Hope u like it if you haven't had it yet [emoji16]

Ok cool I'll give that a go, thanks. Does the temperature or type of water (ie straight tap vs boiled) matter at all?

Hi all, I've picked up a new 40L crown urn, but am yet to use it due to being my first all grain brew and being unsure about efficiencies and other intricacies (still researching) and I've come across an issue on volumes. My urn doesnt have any markings and I have read on the forum I can do it...

No worries abyss, glad you enjoyed it. Pretty stoked actually, this is the first beer I've sent off for another brewer, so to get that feedback is awesome. Happy to share the recipe, it's originally earle's extract recipe I found while trawling the web for a decent clone, which I've tweaked...

I found little creatures fire falcon at my dan murphys which normally stocks **** all!! Tastes pretty good too [emoji16]

This brew will only be a day or 2 to get down to temp, but now I have the urn I will most likely brew more often so this is good news, cheers! Awesome I'll get onto it hopefully this weekend

Hi all, I have just acquired a 40L crown urn and am looking to do my first all grain/BIAB brew. From scanning the forums I have found a number of users recommend DSGA as a starting point. What I cant seem to find is how to convert the recipe for no chill? I have never no chilled a brew...

Thanks Zorco, that's a bargain! Even if a little more it will last me a very long time so worth the $ and drive from Ipswich. Sodium Percarbonate (25 kg bags) 1. Zorco: 5 bags 2. madpierre06: 1 bag 3. Randai: 1 bag 4. Bradsbrew: 2 bags 5. evoo4u: 1 bag 6.MickGC: 1 bag 7. Chap: 1 bag 28 left...

I didn't see the last buy, what weight per bag and cost we looking at?

Yes please, count me in!

With a concealed element crown urn, do I still need a false bottom to keep the bag from burning?

Hi all, I'm ready to make the move from extract to biab/all grain and have managed to finally scrape some cash together to make it happen. I'm essentially looking for a turnkey electric product - pot with element, false bottom (if required), thermometer, sight glass, and associated hose...

Update: opened another bottle, head retention and body much better, still having the cardboard flavour come through though [emoji17] I carb and serve at 12 psi. Not sure of the vol conversion of 1 carb drop or 12 psi but seems comparable to my tastes. At a guess from the info so far...

No brew Pi here, still extract brewing but looking to go AG soon and build from there. I do however have my notes: Yeast MJ44 Pitch temp 22oC OG 1.048 FG 1.009 My standard 24hr lag Rehydrated 1 pack in 100ml boiled and cooled water with 1 tsp dex at start of steep (90-120 min before pitching)...

Cleaning the same as kegs - sodium perc soak for 30min minimum, rinsed and sanitised. Bottling technique is direct from fermenter tap with bottling cane, stored in a cupboard at ambient temps of approx average 23 degrees no major swings. Glass 335-375ml stubbies pending what I have on hand...

Hi all Hoping the topic matches the questions. I'm having a few issues at the moment getting some sort of consistency with kegging most of my batch and bottling the remainder. The brews taste great from the keg, but the remaining beer that is bottled is thinner, lacking flavour, next to no...
