Looking at getting a grain mill in the very near future. Got my eye on 2 different setups so far https://www.ibrew.com.au/products/grain-mill or https://www.kegland.com.au/maltmuncher-grain-mill.html / https://www.kegland.com.au/maltmuncher-grain-mill-3-roller.html from what ive been...

I was testing out the mrs thermomix for the grain hoping it did the trick but doesnt look like its any good for the job. As you say next time i will get someone who know what theyre doing to grind it for me. Was testing out grinding myself as when i move to my new house (couple of months away) i...

wow this sounds like an amazing time! im pretty new to brewing. done 3 BIAB's with a stock pot on a burner in the garden, the mrs just treated me to a robobrew as an early birthday pressie though :party: Just made a stout today but keen for getting my moneys worth from the machine! what date in...

I didnt account for that actually! That makes me so much happier :) was thinking maybe it was because i made the grains too fine and they blocked up the pump. But then again its not a necessity to recirculate is it! Hopefully all will look good tomorrow when i put it in the fermenter!

Just done my first run with my new robobrew. Making a stout and the est pre boil gravity is 1.050, measured mine and it only came in at 1.030. Im hoping it was a dud reading and when i put it into the fermenter tomorrow it has a higher OG. If it is a bit low tomorrow though should i maybe add a...

Looks like theyve supplied me with 5mm and 1.5m per tap. Ill install what theyve given me for now and see how it goes! Keezer all built now, just need some crimpers to fit the clamps correctly.

just found this also which may be of help https://brewerschoice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Basic-Kegging-Procedures.pdf

beer line length being from the keg to the tap? a quick google pulled up: For 4mm ID (internal diameter) beer line the length should be 1.8-2.5m, for 5mm ID beer line the length should be about 3-4.5 meters. 6mm internal diameter the length should be 5-10 meters. this sound about right? if so...

this chart looks like a pretty cool guide! http://www.kegerators.com/carbonation-table.php guess it will just be trial and error on what you have brewed and what you like i suppose!

Got a 2.6 litre co2 bottle for now from kegland and a couple of 19L ball lock kegs! Also got a co2 regulator and "keg connect sytem" from triple j http://www.triplejhomebrew.com.au/2-x-ball-lock-keg-connect-system.html. Ordered a temp controller from ebay for my chest freezer and hopefully all...

cheers for that. ill do a bit of looking around and see what i can dig up. renting them does seem pretty pricey especially when ive got a baby due in 4 weeks, can imagine il be slowing down on the drinking a little when hes here!

just found a 140 litre chest freezer for $100! Just been looking at fitting a collar on them and putting a few kegs in there, be a nice little project while i wait for the brews to ferment! ANyone have any suggestions on a co2 bottle? Messaged supagas to see how much they do rent an swop for and...

the stout that has been in the cooler overnight (- the trub and hop sock)

Ive just put it into the fermeneter and had to top up 1 and half 1 liters, happy with that :) Looked like it was between the last mark on 40 and 50 so guessing its an OG of 0.049? Taking a picture would be a good idea though as i did struggle a little. I was having a look earlier on gumtree...

Nicely done! I actually took my hydrometer a mates house a couple of weeks ago and we couldnt find it for the life of us. Had to just pitch the summer ale without taking the reading. He called me up and said he found it today though so can do the reading on the stout when I get home! Never...

Just finished my second brew in 2 days, after odering up 2 recipes worth of grains then finding out they dont last too long post milling! Really enjoyed it! Have a golden ale in the fermenter and an oatmeal stout in my "cooler" waiting for the drop in temperature. Thank you so much for all of...

thank you very much for all your help. i might grab another fermenter and use that as a hot cube, the link you gave me looks extremely useful, cheers!

Thank you very much for the quick reply! I see. So in recipes when they say boil volume that is actually the starting mash volume? or once the grains are removed I have to top up to boil volume? Ive got myself some heat resistant gloves on order for squeezing the bag and lifting the pot :) I was...

Hey everyone, I have tried a couple of essence brews so far (couple of mangrove pouches) a tin of bavarian lager and a stout with a few hops extra chucked in. Been enjoying it so far but just been sort of guessing how to do it all. Ive been researching all grain brews over the past week and...
