@JB was yours done in a barrel?

I use this and my beer tastes good https://www.bunnings.com.au/uni-pro-large-paint-drill-mixer_p1670154 other than that scientific analysis, I don't have much to add... I do it for a few min, pretty much until the wort is about to froth over the edge. Hopefully getting an o2 system for xmas...

Interesting the difference... maybe just me remembering the numbers wrong. The premise though seems to make sense. (I am just passing on what I heard btw - I just use a paint mixer..)

Not a Smash, but this is a good beer... https://club.coopers.com.au/coopers-forum/topic/16722/ Just add more hops & grains to IPA-ify it If you want a smash, you can go 30ibu @ 60min, 15-20 ibu @ flameout, 4g/l dry hop and that would be nice.

Yeh, the whole 'Drop off mid-week in an obscure place in Ballarat' really makes it quite impossible for anyone else to enter... I'm looking forward to the beerfest though!

Yes it works, but not as well. This morning was listening to a Chris White (white labs) talk and he said the fish tank thing will get you to 3-4ppm after an hour (dunno if ppm is the word, but the numbers were 3-4) but hold it there for a while. Whereas O2 system will get you to the 8ppm that he...

I brewed two beers without adjusting and since moving it a few minutes, haven't looked back :) The non-adjusted beers were still good, but just more bitter as you picked up. I haven't found a 0 minute addition to add a whole lot, but I'm not very picky and haven't made many of each. Be...

I'm probably only going to be able to cold-crash one of the two beers I have fermenting right now - outside of it not being clear, is there a problem with this? it's for drinking w/family at christmas so I'm really not super concerned about clarity. we'll drink anything :)

Dont suppose you have a recipe for that? looks amazing

You need to push everything back 15-20 minutes. For a recipe like the one you posted, I would do this: 30g Cascade @ 60 30g Cascade @ 0 75g Cascade + 15g Galaxy @ cube 45g Galaxy @ 3 days dry hop

Keep your eye on this seller http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/19-Litre-Second-Hand-Ball-Lock-Cornelius-Pepsi-Used-Keg-Home-Brew-Beer/112671595570?epid=890324297&hash=item1a3bc01c32:g:SY0AAOSwCU1Ypi3n a keg a week is auctioned off - i've got my 5 kegs from between $55-60. If you're in no huge rush...

Have you ever tried el dorado hops? maybe use them in place of cascade (or as well?) for some real juice. i find them super super juicy - fair bit of pineapple/mango going on. i've actually got one I'm kegging tonight, with a similar grain bill to the grapefruit one - but with Galaxy, El Dorado...

I did a 'grapefruit' beer that was delicious, but not very grape-fruity. Next time I will add some juice as well as zest. 79% pale malt 10% munich 5% rye 4% Caraamber 2% Acid 15g Cita FWH (20ibu) 30g ea of Simcoe, Cascade, Citra in the cube (12, 5, 11 IBUs) Dry hop with 45g ea of Simcoe and...

I think @Danscraftbeer did it for a beer and, if it was the one i'm thinking of, was delicious

From your OP you said you did it for your birko as well - do you remember how you did that? When I use ~1kg+ of rye it cuts out, which is OK atm because I know to look out for it, but I dont want it to get worse

Can you knock up a shelf with bars on it, and then tie something to the shelf to keep the bottle balanced?

You can easily save money with yeast. All you need is some liquid yeast and a big flask. And some DME for the starter And a stir plate And someway to cool it down, like a fridge. But one just for your brewing. Little containers to freeze it in I hear are good but you need glycerin for that too...

how much does it cost? crowd-source?

If you're not sure about your efficiency, could the DME be added after boil into your fermenter - so if you are already at or close enough to your ABV you can just skip it. I don't sparge, so you should check - but I think sparge water is supposed to be 75-78 degrees. Also you might need more...

Hmmm....
