Hi All, I've not brewed in around 6 months and wanted to try an all-grain BIAB brew to clean out the hops I have left: Horizon (9.1%) - 30g Pride of Ringwood (9.8%) - 40g B Saaz (7.5%) - 20g I'd imagine they would lend to a Pale Ale? If so, anyone point me in the direction of a recipe to use...

I did this one the other night on a 60 minute boil. I added my first lot of hops at 40 minutes as I was no chilling. So far, so good. I came back out about 20 minutes later and the gas had ran out and being too inebriated to drive, I had to leave it be. So, it was probably only boiled for maybe...

I've got a Chinook and a Hersbrucker Hallertau which were both planted in early spring 2009. Last year got nothing from either, but this year they have both flowered to varying degrees. The Chinook is just a single bine with at a guess around 30 hop cones. They are pretty big and when I pulled a...

UPDATE: Just opened the cube. It fizzed when I opened it. It smells of baked beans. Even for a wheat beer, that's not a good look! She's heading down the drain!

Yeah, I'll try and save the yeast. I've had it on the stir plate for 24 hours now. Shall I just chill and decant the beer, then swirl with boiled/cooled water and store in a jar?

. No idea to be perfectly honest, first time I've made a wheat. Aside from that, all the same. I'll toss I think, not worth the frigging around

I did a a BIAB wheat beer a couple of weeks back and no chilled as usual. All good, squeezed all the air out and left in the shed as normal. I fired up the stir plate with a Wyeast wheat in readyness to pitch in the coming days when I noticed that my cube had taken in air. Very weird as it had...

I don't have any brewing software at the moment so I'm a bit stuck!

There's a recipe in the DB for a 10 minute IPA which I'm keen on having a crack at: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...amp;recipe=1192 I was going to Pride of Ringwood for this (8.9%). How would this translate to NC given that the recipe calls for one mega addition of hops at 10...

Sorry to sound a bit thick, but what do you mean by removing hops? As in add at flameout in a hop sock, then remove that before No Chill? Also, I saw a diagram on a US homebrew site regarding NC. It showed a 10 minute regular addition would translate as "FWH" for NC. Anyone have any experience...

Thanks Nick, I've seen that calculator before but I can never quite figure out what the figures are for NC. For instance, it calculates I would need 136 grams for a 23 litre batch at 1060. Would I add these as a cube addition once I have flamed and whirlpooled?

Anyone know how many Pride of Ringwood I'd need (8.9%) to do a no-chill version of this?

I was actually thinking of getting an aquarium heater for doing brews inside (ales, etc). It never occurred to me to use it to keep a lager at around 10c. Good tip.

The problem is my garage is exposed on one side, so ambient temp is a bit much to hope for. I think I'm gonna french press and add the saaz anyway now (thanks dr s!), around 15g. So I think i'll rack the first to a secondary fermenter and use the yeast cake for brew # 2 and put that in the...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, i'll probably leave it in the garage, although it is exposed to the elements. Either that or bring it into the kitchen at night. It's a Wyeast Czech yeast, so hopefully it can operate it that lower end.

I've got an all-grain pilsner in the beer fridge at the moment sitting at 10c. It's down to 1020, so I was about to rack to secondary and dry hop some Saaz. Now, I also have another batch of pilsner in a no chill cube which I want to pour straight onto the yeast cake from the primary...

:icon_cheers: Now were talking! Got another LM317T and some veroboard and I started again. When I say "I", I actually mean the 2 guys I work with who kindly agreed to wire it up for me. When I say "kindly agreed", I actually mean I locked them in a cell with no food and water until they fixed...

I did the voltage thing again and it seemed to fluctuate a fair bit and closer to 2.5v. Apologies for the piss poor soldering job and mess of tangled wires shown. The black wire on the left is the negative for the power supply If I can't figure it out, i'll start again and hand over to a...

I think it's now the LM317T thingo. I got a voltage metre on the two outside pins of the LM317T and they are going up and down as the pot is turned, but the centre output is staying constant. I'll grab another one from JC tomorrow and have another crack.
