Yes hindsight is a wonderful thing :)

Yes it was wax and it had like large bubbles. the layer covered the whole fermenter, but i had a little peak through the fermenter hole last Saturday (2 week fermentation) and I did not see anything so I assume the infection is quite recent. Actually I just remembered something really silly i...

I tried the "upside down shot glass" method instead of the a air lock. I am not sure why, it just seemed like the thing to do. I noticed that one of the kids had moved the shot glass a couple of weeks ago. and the airlock hole was left uncovered for half a day of so. and today when I went...

I am going to have a go at the boiling idea I am just going to brew out some LME maybe to kg, with no hops, made up to 23lts then I am going to boil the brew and I will hop it at this stage. That way I should be able to avoid bitterness from the hops and I should be able to get some nice...

This sound so nice I might even make this up for myself.

out of date homebrand draught with aldi white table sugar :)

I wonder how long I would boil it for and I wonder if there is a way i can test the alcohol content before it is served.

That is a good idea I have done a bit of BIAB I might do a partial but not ferment it? he is the same age as me 37yo. It think I will brew out 1/2 a can of kit, and boil up a couple of a couple of kilo of grain with some hops and throw it in the keg just before I carbonate to give it some...

yes this is what he is drinking now but after you have been homebrewering for so many years it is a bit hard to start paying $9 a six pack when you you are used to making it for 9 cents for a tallie

my best mate has been told by his doctor that he can no longer drink any alcohol. :( He has always loved a beer so obviously this is pretty upsetting news. I would like to be able to brew brew him a super low alcohol beer, I mean less than 1%. I have a kegging system so I have the idea of...

I know this might seem like a silly question but how do I raise the temp/? I don't have a heating band Should I just put it in the laundry sink and fill the sink with hot water?

brigalow extra malt is a dry malt. It very sweet but I really like it. I am worried that it will keep fermenting after I keg it.

My Cascade Spicy Ghost has stopped brewing at 1020 I am not sure where to go from here. I made it up with 1 kg or Brigalow extra malt and a sacjet of S04 and topped it up to 20 liters I am not sure where to go from here? it has been 14 days I have given it swirl Nothing seems to help. it...

I agree with Carboy, follow instructions on the can, and use a box of brew enhancer 2. However I strongly recommenced the kit yeast, it is quite a good yeast that brews well at high temp, leaves a nice bit of Banana lolly and gives you the true coopers taste that your friends from Adelaide will...

I always see these really cheap tap handles on ebay. Cool tap handle Has anyone come up with a quick and easy way to attach these to cheap micromatic taps? I would have though the tap handles would have a generic thread.

The Same thing happened to me last night, I finished dinner and went to pour a nice cold one from my new keg setup and nothing. And I have only pushed out one keg from this new cylinder!!! I assume the leak is on the cylinder maybe one of the posts like someone else suggested. I though I was...

Just tell them you cook meth for hobbie, I am sure they will show more instrest.
