Bribie, A better option for single batch pressure ferments is to call Ibrew on the Gold Coast , they stock a 26 ltr kegmenters which is perfect size for what you want/need. Cheers

I usually put 30 mls into my 45 ltr batches/kegmenters. Works plenty

Yep, I've noticed a marked improvement in efficiency in the past year since using this mill. Between 5 and10% over my old mill or shop milled grains. The eff also stays fairly consistent now as well. Plus my sparges are gold, especially cramming in 9 kgs of grain into my grain fathers each...

Such a beautiful crush :)

I'd also recommend ditching the kit yeast, and investing in say a low attenuation yeast such as white lab 002 English ale or as I've used before successfully on some low/mids 1968 English yeast. These will drop your alc down more, possibly under 3% and retain some body and maltiness to combat...

Nice job, nice sticker adds the pro touch :) Is that esky from Kmart ?

Thought so guys, just what I keep telling the wife, she has alittle dig at me sometimes lol . Cheers

I strictly stick to beer these days, spirits just **** me up too much these days. Still like a bundy , I let my brewing consumption get out of control a few years ago, few trade mates / male family etc nearly every arvo in my shed for months and months, most of a year easy to do when it's also...

I've also just used agood brand of clean white supermarket rices in my rice lagers, all turned out great. Mixing in the glug rice using grain cracked in my fluted mill has defiantly helped with my sparges. Cheers

Love my ales out of my kegmenters . Plus all grain brewing, plenty of friends leave after bbqs abit envious of my gear and understanding wife:), especially when a mate leaves and winges that he's got to spend 70. Bucks on a nice carton, and I've got like 16-20 cartons worth floating around on...

Got my 2 kegmenters full of aussie lagers ATM , smash session hot arvos :)

I love my hoppy ales IPAs , But in the cooler months love my Irish and malty English styles. Now it's warm, I've just started up a few standard type lagers, But I'm going to do an IPL next to satisfy my lager fetish and hop fetish ATM . Haven't done an IPL before but next brew day it's in the...

Yes, I add alittle pressure from start . Mainly to test for any leaks etc with starsan. Not upto normal ferment pressure as I like to watch it rise up to the hissing starts to let me know it's fired. One thing I've noticed with these kk kegmenters , is if you cank the locking bracket up too...

I've read that article and it says over 2 atm pressure , so I'd say above 30 psi is bad. I've always still pitched yeast starters or appropriate amount of dry yeast to style, oxygen added, and run the primary ferment in the middle of temp range of yeast with usual rises towards the end and carb...

18 degrees at 26 psi, prob slightly over carbed, mine finish at 21 degrees and 25-26 psi and it's been better. It doesn't seem to take much between to little and too much with these brewing techniques , I've settled now on going slightly less, then allowing alittle adjustment on the finished...

Hey mate, What was the temp when it was stable for 2 days at 26psi.? What type of beer.? I have found that I was getting foamy beers at the start if, I rushed the end and it may still have over carbed before cc. Really high wheat ales or reds/stouts etc etc, deff need lower psi at the end. Try...

Beer won't freeze till -2 , heavy high alc ones even lower. Cc at 0 or just under will help drop crap faster and haze proteins etc as I understand also drop faster. You then can serve it slightly warmer if you wish. I like my lagers in summer crisp and cold, so I run my kegs at .5 to 0 shut...

I'm amazed at how clear and bright my first ale using the Melbourne wl059 yeast is. As clear as filtered beer after 1 week cc and biofine.

Several days minimum, I usually do 1 week minimum for ales, couple of weeks for lagers or longer. All beers improve over time with cold crashing ( lagering) upto a certain time, unless really hoppy ales where you want them younger and fresher, but even these need a week for the flavours to...

Buy once properly mate. I've had my fluted mm mill now for 18 months, best brews ever, best eff, better sparge, faster,a nd on and on and on.... Compared to my old kk one . No contest. It will see your grand kids out.. Yeah costs abit more, but you won't regret it. You can see how many chased...
