This definitely isn't cause for concern? And don't worry, i peered through the lid to get these shots very quickly.

Anyone got any ideas about the krausen issue?

So fermentation seems to be happening but there is no krausen... There has been a tiny bit of action, because there is a small mark around the top of the beer, i think maybe some oxygen is leaking through the lid, definitely going to buy a better fermenter anyway, could this be it? Anyone know...

What?

It's 6 dollar pints on wednesday nights.

Mayyyybe... :P let's just say I might 'buy' a drink for someone who says they are a homebrewer tonight. Or any nihght for that matter.

Econ, they do cocktails but it is mainly a beer bar. They do have a good spirits list though, and the bartenders are always up for a challenge.

Mate, doon, I know, but lately is has been quite quiet, even on wednesdays! My gf works here, so I get all the goss.

So I'm sitting at a pub, my regular pub, drinking a bridge road robust porter that I bought for 6 bucks and I'm wondering why there aren't more people here... I also just had a mornington ipa, it was delicious. Come down and have a beer! The place is Deja Vu, and on wednesdays it does 6 dollar...

Yay!

Hey guys! So i did my first AG BIAB, check out the post i made. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/71401-first-ag-biab-done-pictures-recipe-and-woes-inside/ Thanks for all your help!

Ok so did my first AG BIAB yesterday, it went alright, though i think maybe i didn't get enough liquid out of the bag after removing from the pot because of not having a big enough bucket to drain it into. Here is how it went: Briess Pale Ale - 3.9kg Rolled oats - 560g Simpsons Choc - 337g...

Hey guys, So i'm about to do my first all grain 20 litre BIAB tomorrow with about 5.5kg of grain in my 32 litre pot, and i just remembered that i don't have a wort chiller. I'm going to be doing an ice bath, but i'm not sure whether this is a good idea, will it cause off flavours because of the...

Mind me asking where you are buying the copper pipe from?

Ohhhhh, isn't that just mashing? I've been reading How to Brew and he didn't use that word, or is it a completely different thing? But yeah, i understand now. Do you do it in your kettle with BIAB, and how do you find the best way to insulate is?

Yeah fair call, thanks for that!

Hey guys, So i have the coopers new style fermenter, and i was wondering if anyone else uses it? The main issue i am having with it is that it doesn't have a traditional airlock, and so it is harder to keep track of how your beer is fermenting. It uses a sleeve system that works (at least it...

I'm trying to understand what you do with the sack (?) rest, do you do it after mash out? Or before? Thank all of you for the help by the way! Totally going to go with AG, i mean, doing partial still requires you to mash, so why not do it all? Also i can totally make my dream clone of this bad...

Hah! I just posted that too.

I will chill it, i'm actually thinking about enquiring about some copper tubing from http://www.polyaire.com.au/?s=copper to make a wort chiller, but if i can't afford it i will just go bath with ice. Also, what is the mashout? I could probably just sit the bag in the pot so it doesn't touch the...
