    Top Cropping Coopers Yeast

    One thing to note for those not rinising their trub collection is you have to take into account volume taken by protien, hop particulate etc settling. This is where Mrmalty calc comes in handy, i typically will double (or there abouts) the volume needed compared with pure cells. The old...

    Dry Hoping With Nochill

    regardless of the chilling method, dry hop it the same way. for me, when the beer is 2-4 SG points away from terminal gravity i dump in the dry hops and hold at fermentation temps for 4-5 days. Simple.

    What R U Brewing For Xmas?

    I'm ready to keg my "destroyed the false bottom" pumpkin ale some time next week and in anticipation of the 4 lb of 2012 northern hemisphere hops I've ordered, I'm brewing a clean-out IPA tomorrow to reduce the volume of hops currently stored in my freezer. 450g@45L IPA sounds like a fair...

    Sparging Temps

    i used to sparge at 77 but decided to sparge at 73 in an attempt to identify what was causing my out of control permanent haze (ended up being filtering/excessive residual starsan). Stuck with 73 deg for a couple of years. Since going to HERMS i sparge at my dextrinization rest temp (72 deg)...

    I dont know if postage is an issue as i would have been popping it in a aust wide pre-paid satchel. Of course, i am heading to the states on the 18th. So i could potentially supply something a tad more special than my latest beery creations.

    Installing Windows Xp Over 7
