Use expresso at work, straight into keg. about .75ml litre works well.

Had it, i can confirm *****-ness

A mash filter ....

but where have the other 3999 gone?

Kind sir, might be best to grab some of that reading other than a forum on things like VDK. To make it easy the below link will sort you out. Anything you are not sure of just holla. http://www.whitelabs.com/files/Diacetyl_Time_Line.pdf If you have VDK in your beer as a homebrewer, you have...

Tugger is right, but large scale brewing is not about brewing, it is about Logistics. I'd love to know how many $AUD75-100k logistics managers, truckies, warehouse managers let along over paid sales folks and thier would be marketers throughout the chain there are in China. I mean right through...

If in NSW, you can contract brew with a NSW Wholesale license. Varying amounts of council input, takes 3 months to get. If you want a job in a brewery, volunteer. No breweries i know work on weekends, usually want to see the back of the place by friday arvo.

A simple addition into the mash tun is much easier than adding salts into the boil or whirlpool. Chasing your tail putting salts into the whirlpool or boil is just making things harder for yourself. Approx 100ppm is the target for good yeast health and pH reduction. Approx a teaspoon of cal...

Consider why the pH drops. The calcium that disassociate in the solution will bind with phosphorous (or is it phosphates ... will try and check) to make phytic acid to drop the pH. Not all calcium can disassociate, and the pH of the starting water has no correlation to how much buffering...

Yeast health is the main one, did not see any thing about yeast nutrient. Same for temp, a racing ferment will not help with any ester, and fluctuations stress the yeast. Can I also ask why you are using 4 packets? Over pitching is as near bad as under pitching. This article was ok, do not...

I do not think there is really any paper work, as long as usual conditions are met (appropriate license, u18 signs etc) you can set up shop and away you go. Part of the discussion was that the product could not be sold immediate for consumption. When it was asked if Wine makers had to sell red...

Stu, NSW and federal do not consider each other nor do they dabble. In effect they do not care if you are approved by either, just that you have the appropriate for their area of concern. If you are a wholesaler the excise is easy, it is the producers issue, and not hard. We submit online and...

There are more licenses in NSW than just producer. The main changes apply to producers, but with a NSW Wholesale the ATO has nothing to do with that License. So lots of horses, lots of courses ...

Main changes are around the ability to sell at farmers markets, so similar conditions. I'd have to check on the details for holding events/functions onsite. Excise is federal ... Nothing to do with state ...

Yeah, squirrelling away almost a ton next year, easy for me to yeast off as I have ccv's.

Nope, chuck em in straight. We go in at diacetyl rest, if a second charge is needed we go in again at 2-4 days from the initial with a drop to 12c on the second amount. You get better results off the yeast. Easy for me as i have conicals and can yeast-off easy. transfer to another barrel on the...

Thanks mate, simple recipe and we change the hops each batch. It pisses the boss off, probably why we keep doing it. This last one is old school, ekg, willamette, Nelson and simcoe ...

See what this fella says, knows his stuff ... https://books.google.com.au/books?id=QpDVsu-vaBcC&pg=PT438&lpg=PT438&dq=oxygen+pressure+wort&source=bl&ots=_Kk_K36BTJ&sig=av-LQ4njm4RiR25wvOkFJXmEn1o&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3texVNiLEIHQmwW12ICYDg&ved=0CEcQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=oxygen%20pressure%20wort&f=false

most NRV in couplers are plastic inserts easily removed. For a standard 4.5-5% beer, capping off with 2-3 points plato will give you 1.5 bar at the end. High levels of CO2 can cause yeast issues thru the primary ferment, i would leave till the end to recover so there is not ester issues and the...

Kinda the reverse really, i miss not brewing at home, no specification or sales people to deal with!
