    I can't bleach it's not StarSan

    Normally, I don't keep it more than the day of brewing, I use filtered tap water. I keep a 10 litre keg of my mix to flush the beer lines after each session. I use boiled rain water for this mix. For general spraying around during brew/kegging days, I use distilled water. I do a litmus tests...

    I can't bleach it's not StarSan

    I'll probably get bombed for suggesting that Jasol 42% phosphoric acid is about the cheapest sanitizer available. If you need bubbles add a few mls. of the Star San type sanitizer. I pay $30.17 for 5 litres. Check the ingredients in Star San.

    pricing liquid vs dry yeasts

    I lived in the Adelaide and used liquid yeast exclusively, I moved to the country 100+ kms to the LBS, made using a dry yeast a no brainer. I am happy with dry yeast and now would not go back to liquid yeast. Using dry yeast I managed to win a number of first place ribbons in the Grafton beer...

    Late Hopping Schedule - Best technique for maximizing flavor

    I find around 30 gms of any aroma hops per 19 litre keg added in a hop filter container to my keg works best for me. I find it gives me an instant aroma burst. I sanitize my hop filter container inside my 10 litre keg of star san/phos acid (used to pump through my beer lines) and water for 5...

    Kegging Vs Bottling Beer

    I gas up my kegs with 150 gms of dextrose, spunding valves help, but they need to be watched carefully. I also use the newer red pressure relief valves which release pressure at about 2 bar. I found my kegged beers are as good as bottled beer. I have 10 kegs lagering at about 6 c For once, I...

    FS Lock out shed clean up.

    I am brewing/drinking a lot less beer, and I figured some old stuff might be better off in a new home. I can send via Sendle or small items via Australia Post, at your cost or pick up Lawrence NSW ( with travel restrictions , this might be a bit tough) I had great visions of setting up a yeast...
