    How Much Did You Brew In 2017

    About 24 batches give or take. Around 500L would have made it to packaging. 1 batch was tipped as it was scorched on the element and tasted like charcoal.

    NZ IPA

    I got the hops in bulk from TWOC in Bibra Lake. Went halves in 500g of both the Nelson and Motueka with a mate. I think they where about $40 for 500g from memory. I get all my grain in bulk from Bulk Brewing Supplies, usually $50-$60 per 25kg sack depending on the type of malt. I think TWOC is...

    DIY Kegmenter

    There is a guy on gumtree in Perth with a few pallets of them. They where used to import some sort of European beer I think.

    DIY Kegmenter

    Yeah I've seen then the commercially available ones. They are more like 150AUD shipped I think. From what I can tell, you can clamp a 2" tri fitting directly to the outlet of a sankey style keg. Not by design but it apparently works well. One of these clamped on the keg outlet should make it...

    DIY Kegmenter

    So I'm exploring the option of making some kegmenters. I have been doing a few batches in cornies but would really like some extra head space. I have a plan which involves the following. 30L S-Type Keg - (remove the spear, wont need it) 2" tri clamp to 1/2" BSP adapter (2" tri clamp will...

    Pirate Life sells to AB InBev

    I would rather spend 2k fixing a car I know than spend 2k for a running one I dont know. Knowing one of the guys from PL, I wouldn't be surprised that if AB-Inbev start getting involved with the brewhouse, that another brewery springs up pretty soon afterwards.

    IIPA Help (First time creating my own recipe)

    I did a IIPA early on in my AG and it was a cracker. I did an iterative mash, doughing into the wort of the first mash after splitting the grist in to 2 batches. I pitched it onto the cake of a APA which made sure there was plenty of yeasties in there. Reached FG in 4 days. I need to do one...

    All Grain Efficiency Very Low - What am I doing wrong

    Pretty much. You can use a bazooka screen, the trick with these (as well as a helix) is to drain the wort slowly, only crack the valve open half way or so to limit the amount of suction. you can simply draw from the edge and combined with a good whirlpool you should be able to get pretty...

    Post me your best Asahi recipe pls..

    You are extracting fermentables from the rice. The enzymes in the malt will convert the rice starch into fermentable sugars. But you are right, You can add the rice, raise temp to the correct strike temp of your grain mass/temp and then mash in. Its also important to grind the rice up prior to...

    Mash Master Mill Master Mini mill Bulk Buy.

    It comes with a spare bolt for the hopper so I attached the hopper with 3 and used the other 2 to attach the ill to a piece of ply I had laying around. Why use 4 bolts when 3 or 2 will do? haha Mine looks pretty similar to yours. The hole under the mill probably needs to be a little bigger on...
