Probably not much help as I see you've tried dry and re-hydrating, but I used to have problems with it stalling if I dry pitched. Whenever I've re-hydrated, no problems.

Cheers Mark, Extending the pipe into the keggle above the trub is a great idea, which I hadn't thought of. Cheers,

Doing a garbage run to the local rubbish tip on the weekend and I spy an old keg sitting over by the scrap metal pile. I asked the tip guy if I could have a look at it, and he said "It's yours if you want it, but the top's been cut out". Sweet! On inspection it was in fact the bottom that had...

Holidaying on South Coast and got a chance for another session at HopDog. Never really had a 'session' IPA that hit the mark, but this is a cracker. Single hopped with Mosaic, about 40 IBU's according to Tim (the brewer) when we chatted with him. Enough malt to carry the hops and all at only...

I just bought a miracle box conversion kit which comes with this coil. If you have / can make / buy something similar, and have a spare esky, you could make a miracle box. I put mine together on the weekend and will be giving it maiden run while camping next week.

I'm always amused when people trash Aldi's brands as being no-name and inferior, without knowing where they came from. I work at a large flour mill. We supply a wide range of flour, premixes, baking products etc from the largest baking chains in the country, to local family owned bakeries. We...

Since your using brewersfriend, when you have the recipe in edit mode, click the 'More' button next to the line of statistics. In this expanded view, down the bottom, it will say 'Matches styles based on stats only'. This will give you a list of styles the recipe matches based on OG, FG, ABV...

Yeah, when I enquired about the entry forms they said they weren't able to run it this year, but hoped to next year. I don't think it was lack of numbers as it wasn't long after entries were supposed to open that I contacted them. Should be a great day anyway with lots of craft breweries coming...

I agree with Mr Wibble. Unless you know what each hop will contribute, try them out individually first. Find a base your happy with (Coopers Pale is a good choice IMO) then try a different hop with each brew. If you like Squires then you've probably got an idea of what flavour Amarillo will...

Looks bloody nice Bribie G. I've been tinkering with own English Bitter version lately, and you've given me a couple things to think about. Here's the latest incarnation that's bubbling away in fermenter at present. Title: Brookvale Bitter Author: Mosto Brew Method: BIAB Style Name...

A couple of local brewers have stalls at the Farmers Markets in Orange.

First brew for the year is fermenting at present. Another of my hop discovery brews, this time using Topaz. I usually dry hop these brews but have read / heard Topaz does not play nice as a dry hop, so still undecided. HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Totally Topaz Author: Mosto Brew Method: BIAB...

As a rough guide, I get 80-85% attenuation with re-cultured coopers yeast.

I thought it was extract when I first seen it on a product list, so spoke to one of our R&D guys who told me it's roasted malt barley milled into flour. It's not sweet at all and has a bitter, burnt flavour. Not good on it's own but I think would add a nice roastiness in small amounts, just as...

I've just discovered I can access to some Dark Malt Powder from work for nothing (not stealing, their happy for me to grab a couple of kg's now and then). Looking into it a bit more, it's actually roasted barley that's been milled to a fine flour, bakeries use it to add flavour and colour to...

Same method except after rinsing my sack I chuck it a bucket of boiling water and napisan. Comes up nice and white. I use the same method for my BIAB bag :D .

Just to add to all the good advice above, of the odd leak I've had, it's almost always been the keg lid not sealing. Keg lube is prob the best remedy there, but I didn't have any last time I had one so just sprayed some StarSan on the seal. Once it's wet it 'should' seal properly. Another time...

Had it on tap a couple of weeks ago and had very similar thoughts. Moved to Young Henry's Hop Ale....that is a very nice beer!!!

Not quite the mix up you've made, but last week I brewed a single hop batch with Helga to try it out. Once I'd cubed it, I put aside the remaining 20 grams to dry hop it after the main ferment was complete. The same day I was due to dry hop a batch of my Pride Of The Galaxy ale with some Galaxy...
