The chiller has been Sold, thanks

I can do if you are keen on it. I feel better if the buyer can see it in person. But sure, can do...

One icemaster G40 to sell in Newcastle. Pick up only. $100 ONO For some reason the glycol solution would ice up at -3c so could only get it down to -2c, which was still plenty cold enough to keep 2 x 40 ltr Brite tanks at 3'c and cold crash a fermenter down to 1.5-2'c Maybe it needs gassing...

@Osangar - what ingredients do you have on hand and what can you get in Singapore? I see you have some EKG, that along with your Maris Otter is a good start towards a English Pale Ale, depending on what speciality grains you could also make something like an Irish Red (Kilkenny). I would get...

Does anyone use the 96% Phosphuric acid for their pH adjustments? If so what is the flavour threshold, as in is there a maximum mls/ltr or mls/Kg of grain? I know it comes down to grist and salts in the water etc but a ballpark figure would be good. I cannot find anything on the internet as to...

My tank is 40 ltrs and the taps are level with the centre of the tanks. My beer line is glycol chilled as well as the flooded font. All of which are insulated in 2 layers of k-flex foam tubing. I extended my 4mm beer line to 4.5m in total and it now pours perfectly. The beer is definitely not...

I'm sorry, this is a bit off topic, but, I lengthened my beer line to 4.5m of 4mm beer line, and it is pouring perfectly. I am dumbfounded as its way more than is the norm. I run my tubing outside of a fridge, but it is all glycol chilled with no warm spots etc.. My brite tanks read 12.5 psi, my...

Yes, definitely (it even says so on the tube lol). I originally had 5mm tubing but switched to 4mm because of the speed, and it's still too fast, even with 3.5m of it. It's got me stumped as all the beer line balance calculators recommend lengths much shorter than that. I serve from Brite tank...

Looks Great @Ferg !! Thanks for sharing. Where did you get your black can rings from? Thanks.

That sounds good, but unfortunately I need something now. My lines are balanced but I serve off of an ssbrewtech Brite tank and the flow is just way too fast, just need to slow it down. This is even with using over 3m of your 4mm beer line at 12psi

Thanks @Meddo, I assume these should also work with Perlick 650ss FC taps too.

@kegland are the K-Lok male tap adaptors deep enough to support flow control taps? Thanks https://www.kegland.com.au/k-lok-male-x-tap-shank-adaptor.html

Here is a .pdf of Oregon University's research on dry hopping, hop creep, sensory analysis of various hops, etc...

@TheWiggman I am trying to find the source for the dry hop timing. I guess I am basing it on a lot of things I have read, both from brewers of well known American breweries and the general homebrewing public. A lot of it also stems from the hopping schedule of NEIPA's. It is based on the theory...

I tried to get it, but you have to be a member or something. That's on the Oregan State University website.

That was a interesting read, thanks for that.

Thanks for that, I will read it after this. I have always only ever dry hopped for 3 days, as I had heard that you do not get much more utilisation after that. My reasoning for perhaps extending to a 5-7 day soak is to allow the yeast to clean up after any secondary fermentation or hop creep...

Thanks for the replies thus far. I am not worried, my processes are pretty good, I brew in SSBrewtech gear and everything is in a closed system. I usually only worry about mash pH but will look at Pre Boil and Pre Fermenter pH as well to try and improve my beers. Currently I have a wheat beer...
