I personally don't care what people drink but It would be nice if there was a popular mass produced lager that emulated say a German Pilsner. One of my locals has Bitburger on tap, nice tasty inoffensive beer. Unfortunately it makes an expensive session. Then there are the Brewed under licence...

Hello All, How long could the yeast be kept in the fridge under sterile water? I would guess no more than a couple of weeks?

Hi, Can you use any brand/type of vacuume bag or are they specific to the model ? Cheers Dave

50 minutes, not bad.

Not brewed it as yet but that recipe is directly from the brewer. Here is the link to the episode. Just fast forward until you hear a kiwi accent. cheers Dave

Think I saw one of those on Breaking Bad.

I love beer but I am mindful of not drinking too much. The Australian standard "safe" level of drinking has recently changed. Previously it was 4 standard drinks a day with one alcohol free day a week, which is 24 units a week, not too bad. The new "safe" level is now is only 2 units a day and...

Hello, Nice looking unit Are you still using this design? How does it go bleeding the pressure from the bung. Am trying to rig one up as simply as possible This one looks pretty straight forward http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/uplo...-1060644750.jpg The air needle I have is too...

Cheers, let us know how you go.

Has anyone no chilled this recipe? That is a massive amount of late hops, I would think that no chill would screw with the bittering in this recipe. I will chill if necessary but adds a couple of hours to the brew day with my crude method, that is I plonk the whole boiler into a large tub of...

You may get another sparge out of it.

All my 19l pepsi cornies are ball lock. Plus the pic look like the ball type.

Yes, women are strange beasts at times but I admit I prefer to have her around. Hence a happy wife is a happy life. 30L of boiling wort drippping onto the new cooker does not entail a happy wife. Dave

Link not working here? Here it is

Just been reading White/Zainasheff. I must say, never thought I would buy a book on fungus and then feel the need to post about it on the internet. Anyway, They make a couple of points. Sprinkling yeast directly onto wort will kill half of the cells. As to rehydration, follow the...

Hi New to kegging Will the beer condition equally whether it is force carbed or not ? Cheers Dave

Did a tour there a while back, brewer said she uses us05. Dave

4 Left at Thomastown. Have been considering fermenting in these containers as they fit into the fridge more compactly. Now that I keg I make min 20L batches, Difficult if the jerry can is exactly 20L but if it is like my cubes then it will be at least 23L. Anyone know the real volume of these...

Hi all. Doesn't help anyone but my parents have had the same GE chest freezer since 1967. It's never missed a beat. I plan to inherit the thing. Dave

Hello All, How does it work as far as hop utilisation with throwing the aroma hops into 4L of wort. Would more hops have to be used in that relatively small amount of wort? Seems like a good idea, had good results when I used to use fresh wort kits. Same concept as far as I can see. Cheers...
