    Has anyone brewed the BB Coffee Porter?

    madfermentationist.com says "bean-hopping" is the best. Haven't tried it but when I do it will be inline with his method.

    Experimental Hefeweizen Three Way!

    In. Experiments are what makes my beer better. My hefe is pretty similar. 50 pils/ 50 wheat, always Weyermann malts, similar steps, 3068 underpitched cool and brought up to 18. I like your use of munich, I was going to start doing a single decoction to get more malty flavours, the only way...

    water - a dirty secret?

    Other than locking down my fermentation process(fridge, o2, stir plate), starting from RO water had the biggest impact (started AG in Perth, terrible, just terrible water). People that say otherwise are probably basing there opinion off ego rather than science/honest results. It really...

    Bottle conditioning in QLD

    If it's not from overcarbing, it's infection. Hopefully for you it is overcarbing. Unless you're using Brett which will slowly ferment over many weeks.

    Blichmann Hop Rocket

    You can do it but it won't extract any/very little of anything due to the wort being cold. It would be a waste of the HopRocket, but it is an effective filter, no doubt. I use mine (when I use it) before my CCFC therefore getting all the benefits. You can get a similar (I would argue better)...

    Anyone use their MLT as a fermenter also?

    Nah mate. Although I would use that over my boil kettle in a pinch. The BK has all sorts of strains cooked into the teflon tape :ph34r:.

    Janets Brown Ale

    I brewed it with some hop subs. I didn't use Northern Brewer, just summit or magnum for bittering and cascade late. I brewed it with the 350ppm water profile although only that beer, my default hoppy water profile now is with 250ppm of Sulfate and I think my hoppy beers are better for it...

    Calculated Bitterness vs. Perceived Bitterness

    My guess is because of the magnum. Use CTZ for the 60min addition for an APA/IPA. Would never recommend POR.

    Getting Water Salts to Dissolve Properly.

    I add all my salts to the mash now for that reason. For my sparge I just use RO water, maybe with a touch of lactic acid.

    Tres cordillas, Medellin, Colombia

    Hey guys, I got the chance to do the tour of Tres Cordillas brewery in Medellin last night which was 23,000 pesos ($12) for 5 beers, a tour and a glass which you can keep or return at the end for 3000 pesos. The beers were as followed - Rosada - a 3.8% rose coloured beer that tasted like a...

    Dedicated Herms Guide, Problems And Solution Thread

    1. The positioning of the probe is fine but I don't think an STC will cut it, or any thermostat. You need a PID brah and a way better probe, K type at the least. I got an RTD one from Auber, it kicks arse. 2. Maybe a bit thinner than normal. 3. Fly

    bringing hops back to AUS from U.S

    Pellets only. Could try your luck with flowers, a 'friend' of mine brought cascade leaf hops through with a bunch of other homebrewing stuff, the customs dude didn't even check. Brewed a beautiful SNPA clone complete with cascade in the HopRocket. Also Chinook flowers as well for a Arrogant...

    Kingys herms Build Thread

    I got a 4v HERMS and yeah you can walk away from it and do other stuff, but I always keep an eye on it. What if the grain bed gets stuck, a hose falls off. Murphys law and all that. If your main goal is a quick brewday, knocking out a lot of finished beer, you really can't go past BIAB with a...

    Blichmann RIMS Rocket and BoilCoil

    Phuark, if I had access to more power I would be running that RIMS inline with my herms HEX. I already have a hoprocket, just need a 15a circuit.

    Sunshine Coast brewery beers

    Don't want to be a dick but I dropped into the brewery 3 months ago and got a tasting paddle. Was not impressed with any of the beers I sampled. There is such a juxtaposition between the yank "craft" beers and ours. Where as in the states I can't remember one time I had a badly brewed beer...

    HEX as postchiller

    Nah, definitely after the chiller. So yeah just need to take off 10 degrees.

    HEX as postchiller

    I've searched and haven't really found anything, so.... I have a CCFC (http://morebeer.com/products/wort-chiller-counterflow-12-fpt-fittings.html). Surprisingly it's not really much of an improvement on my first CFC I bought off gumtree (Homemade one in a fire hose with smaller diameter...
