Thanks for the tips jazza, I have been looking into doing a bjcp course and joining a club, might have to move it up on my priority list. I definitely understand the theory behind your points, makes perfect sense and I will tweak my recipes to push the limits.

Thanks for the tips guys. Thanks Mardoo, this is really helpful. I've been trying to fit my beers into potential styles, but i'll brew them first and categorise later. cheers :cheers: Thanks dammag, I keg most of the batch and bottle about a 6 pack of the remainder with carb drops. From your...

Hi all I'm looking to enter a beer or 3 into the QABC. Having never entered a brewing comp before, im hoping some of the more experienced members here wouldn't mind sharing a few hints and tips they've picked up from the comp circuit. Being that I'm an extract brewer at the moment, my main aim...

I'm still keen, it'll add to my project list

Couldn't help myself, under a dollar a glass for headmasters is too good to pass up

For someone like myself wanting but unsure how to get into BIAB, this is an awesome guide. Thanks Bribie!

I have used brewers choice sanitiser since I started brewing 18 months ago and haven't made a change cos I still have some left. Ratio 5ml/L. I spray my kegs with a spray bottle, swish around what's in the keg, tip it out and stand on end to run out the excess. I mix a litre of sanitiser...

12psi at 4oC for a week. Never had an issue. I tried to roll and shake once and overcarbed it, haven't tried it again. Just set and forget

Final volume to fermenter is 23L. I've been caught out once before with misreadings, so I always make sure I properly dissolve the liquid malt and get a good mix before taking a reading. Sounds like I could have a misreading again, but I can't think of any further ways to prevent it in the future

Hey Grott, how did you get these numbers? I've played with everything I can think of on Brewers Friend and cant get anything close to the above. :blush:

Hi all, I've been brewing extract for around 12 months now and normally get a starting gravity of anywhere from 1.045 to 1.050 max. I put a brew down today and ended up with a starting gravity of 1.062. Recipe as follows: 250g Carapils 250g Medium Crystal 2kg Light LME 1.5kg Wheat LME...

Can't help with the build sorry. It wow what a buy! Keep us updated, would love to see how it turns out

Hey Zorco, can you please add me too, black film and some small rust spots. The welds look ok, but being my first mini experience I'm not sure what they're supposed to look like. Cheers

I bought one 5L from the MKIV BB. It blew a week or 1 ago but let sit in the fridge gassed until today. Cleaned it out and ran my finger inside - black residue. No metallic taste though. Currently soaking in NaPerc and will leave overnight to hopefully resolve the issue. If not I'll be looking...

Will have to have another look in my LHBS, didn't find any last time, but didn't ask either. I just got excited when I found the same one that damo has

UPDATE After 12+ hours the gas lines are holding pressure so is either a keg/disconnect issue. 2 of my3 kegs are now empty so will pull apart posts and lube everything and hopefully no more issues. If there are any I will report back. Cheers all!

Sorry I thought I'd replied to this already, yeah I'm keen. Also found the valved 400g bottle these would fit to, no affil yada yada http://www.easykegging.com.au/shop/all-products/400g-aluminium-co2-bottle/

Thanks for the feedback all, firstly yeah bottle is at room temp outside the fridge giving me the 1000psi reading. I have now set at 12 psi, disconnected the gas and turned off the tap. Now we wait

So after my last gas leak where I lost half a 2.6kg bottle overnight, I repaired the leak (new oring and lube in the beer out post) detergent tested and hooked it back up. Had a few beers the other night and decided to turn off the gas as it looked like I was losing gas quickly (over 1000psi...

Congrats Yob!!
