That was a very helpful and interesting article. I've been through the first few pages and flagged the rest to go back and reference. I just downloaded the free bruin water version while i wait for him to email me the full version. It wasn't clear on his page how donation he required for the...

Thanks Technobabble, the last good brew i did was a porter which due to the darker malts is less susceptible to pH issues so ive read. One of the great things about the BM is that sparging is an optional step (sometimes costs a couple efficiency points, sometimes not) i can exclude the sparge...

Its raining right now, i just went outside with a couple of pH strips and it looks to be in the high 5s to low 6s. No heavy industry around here.

Not off topic at all, in fact i bought a kit beer 2 brews ago for that very reason... the thought of then feeling obliged to actually drink it puts me off and i get super confident that ive nailed the problem and go back to AG. Time to swallow to my pride in the interests of getting to the...

Thanks Mark, i'm pretty careful with my temp measurements and have a quality digi pen thermometer to test sparge water temps. My last sparge was 8.5 litres into the 20lt BM to achievce a 30.25lt boil volume. I'm not sure thats even enough sparge water to extract tannins but happy to be...

yeah great results for many years. always used sydney water north prospect source, soft water. im considering trying some distilled water.

I’ve had the unfortunate experience of having to tip the past 6 batches of brew into the garden. it’s been doing my head in as to what’s causing the off flavour. it’s been the same flavour and mouthfeel each time slightly astringent, complete loss of all hop aroma, weird bitterness. my...

Thanks Bribie, good info. Huez where abouts in Melb you get your goods shipped from, must be good value if it beats local prices shipping and all?

Thanks for the suggestions. "The brew shop" website looks like it has a good range at competitive prices. I'll give them a go. My local is fine for some smaller common items but it's too expensive and limited in range to be my go to every time unfortunately.

Can anyone please recommend a decent home brew store in Sydney? I'm talking something of the caliber of Qlds Craft-brewer but in Sydney. I live on the north shore but willing to travel.

Yeh I don't have the desktop version. I have checked the BM forum, I'm after the official beer smith release of the BM profile which came out in April I believe. Happy to hand enter it, just want to make sure it's the right one.

Thanks Mardoo that's right, someone with the desktop BM 20lt profile needs to share the recipe to the cloud. Once I know the name of that recipe I can search for it and save the equipment profile to my app.

Can anyone help me with a Braumeister 20lt profile for the mobile app please? I understand beersmith have released a profile for the desktop version only.

Mister Clark, you've my intrest in the BM. Will send you a PM.

Auction ends in 30mins for anyone interested. As Jaypes says, it's a steal.

A couple of pics.

Before you use it, run the starsan solution through it, then run enough hot water through it to wash out the starsan. After your brew is finished and youve chilled the wort, rinse out the kettle, fill it with hot water and starsan scrub up the kettle so its nice and clean then drain it through...
