Just ordered a Robobrew 3. Looking on line....Youtube videos etc to try to glean something useful, with respect to mash water volumes, or water to grain ratios. I have brewed for some time now using my self made HERMS...quite successfully, but the Hermit controller which has served me well needs...

Anybody using a Blickman carbonator ?

Thanks Wobbly, I did search but could not find the recent posting where some member posted a link that included the latest Coopers brew kits in the spreadsheet. I have used the spreadsheet for the last 8 years.

Someone posted a link to IAN H Kit & Extract spreadsheet...which listed the new beer kits from Coopers. Has anyone got the link please.

Old saying... poor workman blame tools.

I have no chilled for about nine years now...at the end of the boil I add my no-minute hops,whirlpool and place the lid of the Crown urn on top,no cling film,remove the insulation from around the urn,leave overnight to cool to pitching temperature,transfer to fermenter without any aeration,pitch...

I don't understand your question ! I paid an annual subscription to evaluate the software...never used it for brewing,as I said I still use the free version of Brewmate, have done since it became available.

I did not renew my subscription as I said that I wouldn't. I don't know where these guys are coming from....an annual subscription for what is no use at all. This cannot hold a candle to the old version of Brewmate !!!

Can anyone on this forum explain to me why Coles,Woolworths and Aldi have to seperate alcohol sales from the main shopping area with a 2 metre wall? Is this just Nanny state beurocracy,I cannot remember seeing a wall seperating alchol sales from the main shopping area in the Aldi near Melbourne...

Only ever sprinkled,never had a problem, ah well, time for a change then.

I have chosen to occupy the room in my fridge for kegs,a gas bottle and regulators in the fridge are not in my thinking,each unto his own...I get 5 kegs in my fridge...larger fridge than yours but totally dedicated to kegs. ...

You cannot go beyond the manufacturers instructions...pitch directly onto top of wort,only been brewing for 9 years so I could be wrong!

Do you need to have the regulator in the fridge ? I have a dual regulator set-up, one regulator is used for maturing the beer at 15 psi and the other at 0.4 psi for poring. I got the connector from Keg King, does the job perfectly. Picture in situ...

I think Razz is on the money. I suspect that your thoughts are bigger false bottom the greater the flow through the grain bed! The fact is that the pump size is only as good as the perculation of the wort through the grain bed. The fact that you have milled your grain finer and the fact that you...

If you want to go to the expense of dry hopping,you will get the best resulrs from bottling in my experience. Kegging...unless you drink the full keg quite quickly, the aroma and taste will dissipate very quickly! The cost of some dry hopping recipes is quite sustantial...120 grams for a 20...

Dry hopping,the amount is up to you...2 grams per litre to 5 grams per litre.

When I started brewing I bought a book...Brewing Crafts, this gives you the kind of information that you are seeking. You ask the question about hopping effects,this is like describing the taste of Caviar or Oysters to someone who has never tried either. No one can advise you on this,you have...

Thanks to everyone for your contributions, I will see how things go over the next four weeks.

What I am learning from the replies to this topic...it ain't easy! I have two regulators now,one I have set to 15 psi...this to carbonate and allow maturity. The other is at 6 psi for pouring,only two kegs are connected to the different pressures at any time. I have standard bought lengths of...

What I am trying to understand is...some beers/lagers require a higher carbonation,the use of two regulators would achieve this,however,after achieving full carbonation to the rquired level the next requirement is to serve the beer without a glass full of foam! This is my question...how do I...
