Thanks for that, any manufacturers you would suggest? I'd still be interested in saving costs by recycling second hand drums if people are interested in helping out. Cheers

Yeast actually thrives at high temperature. For flavour sake we ferment at lower temperatures (below 20 for example). Yeast won't die or even struggle at 30c but you'll be building a lot of fusel alcohols which taste foul and give headaches. Cans are notorious for low fermentability and the...

Looking to gather a good supply of cubes/drums for making fresh wort kits. I can buy new for about $6-7 each but would have to take a whole pallet. So if local kit brewers are accumulating excess cubes please let me know. I'll be happy to swap for a few bucks or some longies of brews. Cheers

Hey Phil, I'll likely be in Canberra at end of May. Send me a private message if you want to the up a possible delivery. Cheers

Cheers for that, I'll keep you posted on progress

Cool mate thanks for that. So, watigot? Right now I got nothing! I posted this to get an idea there was any interest. Since it's got some attention I'll put pen to paper and nut out exactly what I can sustain. To give you an idea, here's the brews I've got planned for the next few months: *...

Hi all I've played around with the new toy and I'm very happy with it. Great range on the transmitter - I can be at the opposite end of the block still with full signal. Very cool. Unfortunately, both the temperature probes have become faulty (within two days of each other). Can replacement...

Oh you from Newcastle? Then you're probably not the Mick Bourke I used to work for down here. That's good.... The price would triple for him :p Thanks for putting in a vote. Cheers

Hey cheers for that. Yeah freight that far night hurt but I'll look into it. Appreciate the response anyway. Good to hear people interested. What's the going rate for a commercial FWK?

Hello, I'm throwing this up to gauge if there is any interest in fresh wort kits. I love to brew but don't consume very much these days. To keep my hobby going, I'm wondering if homebrewers without all grain gear would pay for cubes of fresh wort? I'm not looking to turn a profit, just cover...

I'll join. Thanks

I'm in. Cheers

Sure it's not the normal practice and is sold to be a kettle fining. But can we assume he tells the truth that it's working to clarify a beer in the keg? @Tricky Dicky, are you brewing grain or extract? Do you use any coagulants in the kettle? Carageenan is very versatile and has many uses in...

Just the price. You can buy a 1kg jar of wirfloc for $45 and it's probably more concentrated so you'll use less - 1g only to a 25L batch

That's carageenan which is a common fining agent (wirfloc, Irish moss, etc). At $6 per 100g (from woolies) you might be better off getting this from a brew supplier. Another vegan option is pvpp

None of this is necessary. We could all drink beer that is not clarified. We could also drink Tooheys since home brewing is unnecessary. We could also refrain from stifling someone's contribution to this discussion before hearing them out - as that too is unnecessary. Anyway... Some of my dip...

You could always shorten your pick up tube so it draws beer from just above the sediment

Hey not sure about Braumeister but typical limit for sparge temperature is 77°c

I've used the old gravity fed bottling wand on thousands of bottles (750ml champagne in my case). I fill to the brim, then the head space is only the volume of the wand, as mentioned by other brewers. As for oxidation? Zero. Not once. Never. Not a single beer has shown signs of oxygen exposure...

We speak the same language, I know the low fodmap diet well, I also know gut health in general. So I totally agree with your intentions. I'm sorry, I misunderstood your intention with the finings, but maybe you did too. Clarex is an enzyme to go in at commencement of fermentation rather than...
