So, in a rush to finish my beer prior to heading to my night shift at work, I transferred my wort, approximately 15 L worth, via siphon into the fermenter while it was still sitting at about 40 degrees Celsius. It splashed quite a bit, so after reading up a little bit I'm concerned that I've...

So, I was looking to try and clone this recipe, though I'm fairly new to recipe creation and I'm still working out a lot of stuff in terms of software. I've managed to find some details on the brew itself online, in terms of its grain bill, it uses the following: CaraRed Pale malt Munich...

G'day guys, I'm having a little trouble with my calculations after completing my first All Grain mini-BIAB - I understand some of this may be pretty simple stuff, but I feel like I've gone wrong somewhere along the way. Anyway, here's my issue. I put down Ross' Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale a few...

G'day guys, I used to have a crack at brewing around 5 or 6 years ago in my uni days, but never stuck with it, mainly because of a lack of a good, cool place to brew and secondly because I made some absolute shockers! I did use to force them down though, cheap arse student and all. Anyway, I'm...

G'day guys, Not sure if this i being posted in the right section but what the heck! My mates recently bought me a fresh wort kit for my b'day called "Little Cove Draught" from Brew Cellar Distirbutions. THey bought it at our local country brewer store. Firstly, I just wanted to know if anyone...

G'day gents, Just recently made a Cooper's Bitter tin (1.7kg) with 1 kg of Cooper's Brew Enhancer 2, 500g of LDM and 12g of Williamette hops with a safale yeast. My problem is, that while its tastes quite bitter out of the fermenter, its still seems to have th fruity undertones (the bane of my...

G'day guys, Just a quick question I have recently brewed a Cooper's Bitter tin (1.7kg) with 1 kg of Cooper's Brew Enhancer 2, 500g of LDM and 12g of Williamette hops. I pitched a safale yeast. My original gravity was around 1.066 which I thought to be very high and was well put pf range of the...

G'day gents, Quick question regarding a GB I put down using real ginger root and honey. Bascially I put it down probably over a month ago and due to some laziness on my behalf and some unforseen circumstances (like being employed) I have yet to bottle! Do you reckon it will still be good to...

G'day guys, I'm looking to throw down just a simple Ginger Beer that will hopefully be ready for christmas or at least the New Years day Test match! Basically a K&K, but what is the best tin to get and are there any simple additions I can make to improve it? Cheers!

Ok, been brewing an ESB Aussie Draught, and with my last few brews I have struggled to keep my temps down and the fruity esters really annoy me! Anyway, this time I placed the fermenter in a plastic bin, surroudned it with water to about halfway up and placed two frozen bottles in the water...

G'day guys, Bit of a weird question here, but anyway. I've just put down an Australian draught beer and in an attempt to keep the wort cool (which has been a big problem for me) I place the tub in a bin, surrounded by ice and water and covered with a towel. Hoepfully this will work, but my main...

G'day, I have a couple of year old kits that I want to use, they will have been exposed to both quite high and low temps while they've been sitting in a garage, I was just wondering if they and the yeasts that have come with them will be ok to use? Watcha reckon? Cheers

G'day fellas, I just bought a Cooper's Bitter Can and a kilo of Cooper's LDM and I have heard that using just malt can cause the beer to be slightly sweeter. I was wondering whether or not it would be worthwhile to use some Williamette hops that I had leftover from a JSAA clone I am preparing...

G'day guys, I am just looking for any possible 750ml longnecks that people may be willing to sell or giveaway, I currently buy 650ml bottles for a $1 each so I am looking for any better deals out there. I am only just starting homebrewing and have put 3 brews down, hoping to improve the bottle...
