    Fermentation Very Slow In Final Stages ?

    4 Weeks ago I put down two brews. Same day, same equipment, same method, same yeast, same water. Yes different kits (extract all malt brewer) but neither very remarkable or out of the ordinary, all within best by date. So that's 3.4Kg of liquid malt extract from kit source & nothing else, made...

    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    Just completed my first wire up of the STC-1000. In case what I found may help others etc: 1) Calibrated against my -10 to 50 Deg C alcohol filled lab thermometer the STC is about 1 Deg out. Against two other digital thermometers (both claim only +or- 1 Deg accuracy, my STC falls roughly in the...

    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    I received my STC-1000 (220VAC) this morning. Delivery was way too long & interestingly they emailed me (prior to delivery!) to ask if I was happy with their service. I told em to find a new shipping agent. Their reply indicated "weather problems" en route to me in Australia, & they suggested I...

    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    Thanks guys for the tip on this very inexpensive controller. I ordered one immediately. Now I have to check the links provided here so I know how to wire it to my fridge. I am aiming to control fermentation temperatures so now I need (another!!) cheap fridge. Living on Queensland's Gold Coast...

    RecipeDB - Honey Citrus Ale

    Lots of hops (varieties) in this with little to instruct a newcomer as to "how to" For example how much water, is it a rolling boil or lower controlled temp? What is the total time of boil & I suppose the shorter duration exposures are timed from the end? You would need quite an extensive stock...

    Hop Freshness

    Guys, I see you all use selected hop varieties for your specific purpose. The reason I have chipped in here is to ask where you get this hop choice. My last enquiry at my LHBS revealed only pelletized Brewcraft hops in a sealed foil enclosure. I bought this product but was underwhelmed with the...

    Over Active Fermentation

    I have just put down a 23 litre brew with 3.4 Kg of stout malt. Actually it comprises two 1.7 Kg Coopers Stoat beer kits, this is an old favourite of mine, it ends up very close to Guinness. I pitched two yeast sachets at 26 Deg C & after 4 hours saw activity commence. After an overnight sleep...

    Another Brew Shop Closed

    My 2 cents worth: LHBS vary in the quality of advice available, & in the variety of product offered. It's common sense that in more thinly populated areas, the demand for AG brewing will likely be so low that allocating space & stock to low turnover product is just unwise. Yes I agree generally...

    Cider Recipe

    New to Cider making myself so can't offer any practical suggestions. However I have just put down a Black Rock Cider Kit on the recommendation of my LHBS. They said "just follow the recipe it's the best of the cider kits". Reading extensively here I can see I jumped in far too quickly. For...
