    KK - 'Fermentasaurus' conical PET fermenter

    When do you expect the G3 to be back in stock? Also, when you read on the website about the 2 inch tri-clover adaptor, it says that "heavy 2 inch" tri-clover parts could damage the adaptor and/or the fermenter. How heavy are we talking? If I put a stainless 2 inch elbow and butterfly valve from...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    I have a black cap with the hole in it, but I'd like to be able to keep the carb cap inserted instead so I can quickly swap over to the spunding valve when ready.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    hi guys, do you have a solution to attach a blow off tube to a fermzilla lid carb cap? I have been blowing off for the first ~48 hours prior to spunding (and like to do so), but I have been using a ball lock attached to 5mm ID line and an open picnic tap in a bucket of sanitiser. Would like a...

    Monteith's Phoenix IPA

    Tried it and personally hated it. I found it to have a very forward bitterness with zero complexity. I like a fair whack of bitterness, but it has to be complemented. I would try a very simple grain bill (pale with <3% crystal), and hop to about 40 IBU with those hops, with at least 60-70% of...

    FS: Good Condition Coca Cola Corny Keg - BRIS

    Hi All, Looking to offload this keg which doesn't fit in my keezer properly (slightly different shape to the normal kegland keg style). I was overseas for two years and lent a friend my kegs, however one of them was swapped for this coca cola keg and he couldn't find my original. It is made in...

    Beer Line Issue

    I have been locked out of AHB for ages - every time I tried to log in it would just not work. So I thought I'd update here. Turns out my perlick FC taps were completely blocked with hop matter - never happened before (normally doesn't make it out of the keg post)! So I took it all apart and...

    Beer Line Issue

    Thanks guys. razz - definitely not a frozen keg - poors perfectly fine on every other tap. The seating issue could be it, but I'll stick to replacing the ball lock in the first instance and see if that does the trick. Thanks Mick!

    Fruit Puree Gold Coast/Brisbane

    it's definitely available - usually comes in 1kg packs. And no particular reason, except for being time poor and not having a blender here!

    Fruit Puree Gold Coast/Brisbane

    Anyone know where I can buy fruit puree in 1kg bags/tubs? Looking to purchase some frozen raspberry puree for an experimental raspberry cream ale. Google searches bring up lots of wholesalers, but can't find retailers to save myself. Prefer Brisbane!

    Beer Line Issue

    Hi All, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for where to begin - have never encountered this issue before. I had a keg blow on Saturday, so immediately after, I removed the liquid ball lock and placed it on a new keg (same beer). I didn't pour another beer until Wednesday, and...

    San Diego Super Yeast Review - WLP 090

    I know this is an old thread, but I came back to this yeast just recently and it is what I would call super once again. 1.050 down to 1.010 in 5 days (was likely done quicker though). Dropped like an absolute rock - haven't changed the temp on my fermzilla yet and the collection container which...

    Brisbane Bulk Buy - Feb/March 2020

    Hi guys, sorry for the delay in response - I am still flat out with work. Steve has just sent me a message and we are still all good for tomorrow. As previously advised, make sure you call the store when you are on the way and let them know your AHB name so they can have your grain ready for...

    EZ Water Calculator Issues

    Thanks for the post, and article. I normally add lactic acid to my mash as well, according to what EZ Water says should get me to 5.2. I didn't this time because of my 4.95 reading in my last mash. I did cool my wort, but obviously not to 20c. I suppose I knew I should probably not trust the...

    EZ Water Calculator Issues

    tested 2 sets of scales both the same, calibrated pH meter to 4.0 pH, and tested it in tap water reading about 6.5 pH (normal range for tap water).

    EZ Water Calculator Issues

    I've been using this program for years, made some great beers, but finally got myself a pH meter.... I've done two brews in a row with a calculated mash pH of 4.85 - 4.95. Both times, EZ Water said my pH would be 5.2 - 5.3. I use RO water for both mash and sparge. I have always been heavy...

    Dedicated Grainfather Guide, Problems and Solutions Thread

    Figured it out - you have to move the 3.41L mash deadspace loss to the recoverable mash deadspace field. All back to normal!

    Dedicated Grainfather Guide, Problems and Solutions Thread

    Just downloaded Beersmith 3 after using Beersmith 2 for years and it's doing my head in. I have set it up so that the mash water mimics what the grainfather calculator indicates, however the sparge is exactly 3.41L more than grainfather indicates (which directly correlated with the kettle...
