Well don't always believe what you are told. Keg is chime stamped as I sold it to them second hand out of Europe knocking out the original breweries logo. And, Young Henry is my nephew, both of us would appreciate it back.

Bah, dunno why brewery DA's are so scary. Do you research, write a clear plan and talk to the town planners before you submit. Give em a solution rather than a problem and they will help get it thru.

No food authority licensing required. No wiggle room in the +48l kegs as well (aka 90%) of what brewers use. Need an NSW retail liquor though, poss DA on the site. Couple of shops in Melbourne used to send out their own small kegs to folks to make it easier. Anyways, drop us a pm, can help out...

5gm or a teaspoon of chloride, or sulphate or combination of both. Some is better than none

Ahh you guys are no fun. Where's the mention of calcium being a nutrient to yeast, helps with trub formation, forms an ionic bridge to help yeast floc (it's a metal after all) apart from binding with phosphorous to form phytic acid (hence the oh drop) Keep it simple, 5gm per 20l is a good...

Yeast sorry, take it from another batch. Will soak up vdk if warm

Hey Gov, just to confirm you are wanting a 60 odd horsepower boiler to run a 600l Brew kettle. A 30hp unit will run a 2-30hl unit without an issue. And my PRV from Spirax for a 50HP unit cost $5k with instal, $32k for the whole ring mains with certs. On an old system we had 8kw elements in the...

The fellas on the IBU's forum reckon it is reopening

There's a heap of this stuff around, but it's all for show. How will you handle and cool the wort as well as manage fermentation? Then what will you do with it? Those 3 phase boilers chew the juice and can only be installed by a certified boiler mech, work cover certification is required before...

Vdk is not caused by lag time, it is from rushed or pour secondary conditioning of the beer. The precursor alpha Acid actelate is not passed thru the reductive stage as per the normal fermentation path way - that is reabsorbed back into the yeast cell for reduction. If you have vdk add...

Long lost hombre, VDK and diacetyl are the same thing. 2-3 pentanediaone is similar but different source. Vdk and 2-3 is not from under pitching, it is insufficient secondary conditioning.

Ahh the fork in the road between commercial brewers and home brewers. Caustic cleaning. 2% hot caustic for 30 mins, cold water flush, peracetic acid sanitize 10 mins with all valves closed. Most liquid caustic is 50% water, so 4l total per 100l gets you close enough. Avoid pearl caustic...

Dare say GLS is long since gone from here mate ...

Red apple (ethyl hex) is and indicator of a raced ferment, but stopping at 20 is an unhealthy ferment low in oxygen. Google and you will find enough references to the causes

Oh no, not the JM ... Most contract plants, the main 2 small pack plants in NSW, will let bottle or can beer out unpasteurised. It's insurance. I use one of those plants and the affect on hop oils is harsh. The other 2 issues are vdk and quicker styling if DO's are high. Had batches with vdk...

if I counted it up I have probably spent 12 million years in front of magic boxes, they have to drain. If you pour 3-400 litres in a day as we will and do not drain, the whole thing will be a basket case Gas pressure for a warm keg should be at about 220 odd, stick keg in a backer of ice if...

Detal 22 from Supora will removed it. Phosphoric acid base. Beer stone can and does harbour bacteria and also will flavour taint beer. Worst in beer lines

Your assuming customers know all those big words just quietly ..,

Flowers are for the birds.... Only good in a proper hop back ... Science says a 2 charge method first once ferm has stopped and Vdk clear with a drop to 12c for the second charge. Plus 48 hours from charge 2 then crash chill. Another way I have done is charge 1 at end of ferm, charge 2 at day...
