I cold crash rapidly as in just set stc to 0 and let her go. Or in summer will do it in two steps 10 then 0 or -1. Lager yeast can continue operating cool but i doubt at -1 so it makes sence to lower them slowly. I have done this but lately ive been opting for more shody practices so takr my...

Try mashing lower like around 62c for 40mins - 1 hr this should give you a more fermentable wort. Also adjust ph and make sure youve got atleast 80ppm calcium in your brew water to keep them yeasties happy. Another thing of course is type of yeast used knowing its average attenuation to...

Well ill be buggered thats crazy! I was buying demineralised water for mixing up phosphoric acid but have just used filtered water lately this test shows ill have to rethink me sanitizer use.

Shoit lucky fella that sux sorry to hear man! Ive got a DIY stir plate so no heat function. If your in the south of Aus then keeping the heat function may be good. For an STC hook up youd still need to wire into the heat function on your stir plate i think- that way your not switching the...

Well there we go the 38mm hole bore arrived this arvo so i put it to work. I cut a bit of ply out first to make sure the silicon o ring sat snug. I just timed it heating 5lt to mash out temp 75c in 7 minutes sweet. This is what i made it for heating sparge water for Biab. Opted not to use keg...

Yep google poping spigot i cant remember now i now it involved vice grips and d#$king around with pliers. Remove dip tube fill with water grab your grinder use guard against metal rim as guide and slowly carefully remove top. Sand her smooth till no rip de fingers can happen. Then bung a two...

I recently brewed a barleywine and decided to make a cube hopped second runnings beer out of left over sugars left in the large amount of barley used in the mash. I cube hopped the second runnings beer with 30g of galaxy (biotransformation) the resulting beer im guzzling atm has a persistant...

Well there ya go an inflated article then. There is always a way around it.

Maybe they could learn from coopers brewery and prime their kegs instead crisis solved;).

I place a sheet of alfoil over the top of my mash once stired in to try and keep in heat and for less o2 ingress.

Yep meant theoretically im not sure i know what rhetorical means:confused:. But yep gots some good results in cube like this. Heck i hear alot cube guys/girls just pitch their hops in at cubing and dont bother with any kettle bittering hops. Makes sense as its all about the whirlpool in the IPA...

I third K-97 made two kolsch brews with this yeast it like to chug along nice and slow down cold but gets the job done. I used spalt as my go to hop choice and pilsner-german carapils for grist good luck:).

Cheers new here too welcome to the rabbit hole!

I found my current imersion chiller on gumtree $50 bucks! Couldnt of bought the copper for that much. 2nd hand aint a bad option if you know what your after kettle dimentions ect ect . Have you tried pitching in your flavour/aroma hops once cubed or into fermentor on transfer a sorta...

My 2c is order a branded stc like Elitech (one i use) them cheapo ones dont last or / cant handle 240v. Cheers

Well profile is one of many...

You can also try adding these darker malts late in the mash like at mash out or when sparging this supposedly reduces astringency. Or a cold steep sepperate from mash altogether then add this water back for color.

What the one in the profile pick? That bees a pilsner...
