not advocating buying anything by the way - would be easy enough to make at home. just need a clear tube of some kind - then work out sugar weights, then weigh in the different sugars and mark it up.

An old thread, but in the interests of not starting new ones everywhere... I like many of us I'm guessing, 375ml and 750ml are not my fist choice - personally i reckon 500ml is a great size. But priming, bleh. I bulk prime most of the time, and it's true it's not a huge effort - but getting the...

No one? I shall be a pioneer then and report back :chug:

Picked up a tin of this goo today to see what's what. The plan is: 1 x goo tin 500g x LDME 500g candii sugar boil for 40 min steeping 10g Willamette - no taste or aroma hops planned preboiled water to bring wort to about 1.080 pitch with T-58 Dance anyone had any experience with this tin? Cheers

Full batch biab pot? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Barbour-International-1144-BC-44-qt-SS-Stockpot-/130837101460?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e767fbb94

Damn straight

1. Yes to both, up to you. there's a fair bit of info out there on effects of leaving the trub behind and conversly of dumping the whole lot into the fermenter. Personally i fill my cube to brimming and there's usually 500ml or less left over of the trub in the kettle. In other times I've just...

If it were my money I'd seriously consider a 50Litre BM and just brew more often. The brewing is fairly straight forward, but have you got means to ferment that kind of volume in a temperature controlled environment?

$4000, 1000 Litres Might need a few curtains worth of voile for the bag though... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stainless-Steel-Tank-/121062265280?pt=AU_Business_Industrial_Farming_Agriculture_Farming_Agriculture_Equipment&hash=item1c2fdf91c0&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_1414

G'day, Looking to meet some fellow brewers in my locale, would be great to meet up and compare our efforts, maybe get some bulk grain purchases going or whatever. Currently brewing BIAB with a couple of other local boys, looking to pool our resources into a shared brewing setup. Cheers Rhys

Brilliant day! Highlights were the weather, the music and the company - and the beer! Discovered and was blown away by Kooinda (milk porter bloody delicious, not to mention the pineapple / mango cider). Also enjoyed the Prickly Moses Blueberry Heffe, Red Hill as usual (the scotch ale for an old...

i don't know - If Braumeister can sustain a business with their product, something cheaper with a few extra features would do well would be my guess. Maybe.

I'm looking at following in the foot-steps of those heady biab pioneers who one day looked upon the hot water urn serving them up a hot coffee and thought... beer. Having read through most of the forum threads on the topic I've become aware that although the usual Crown or Birko work fine, many...

Fair point - but I reckon it'd be cheaper to run than a fridge, plus you'd have enough blanket there to wrap 2 fermenters I'd guess. I personally don't have room for a second fridge in the house so need alternatives. $200 is a fair bit though, so really it's just the principle of it that...

One of these maybe? http://coolorheat.com/Home_Page.html Basically a temperature controlled electric blanket - goes from 10C to 56C - if it works as advertised you could possibly even do a lager with one of these puppies wrapped around the fermenter

Cheers for that, and thanks for feedback all. I was really only trying to strain the sludge from the hop pellets - lesson learned, I have purchased a hop-sock from craft brewer. Another purchase was a 10 litre cube for no-chilling. I fully expect the next brew to be problem free (he said...

Well then, here's me, 8pm last night. The little one is asleep, SWMBO is away for a conference and with a couple of homebrews warming my liver I decide I've got time to put down a batch of Brown Ale. This is of course mistake number one. Fast forward a mostly successful brew and midnight has...

Thanks for the replies, appreciate it :) @manticle - some good tips there, will keep in mind for my next one. This was kind of thrown together from what was in the cupboard - I had the brewferm yeast left over, plenty of DME and I'd read that Golden Syrup is a simple sugar and oft used as sub...

Hi all, i know this is a topic that probably gets covered daily, but it's always nice to present one's specific problem to the knowing masses. I have brewed up an all extract high gravity beer - 1.090 OG. All DME, plus golden syrup, hops, coriander and orange. I pitched rehydrated Brewferm...
