Addition to my current order: 1 Black XL Polo Thank you

1 XL Bottle green t shirt please. Thanks

I was over in Shanghai in 2009 site seeing in the Bund area that was heavily under construction for the World Expo. I happen to glance down a side street off the main road on the bund and all i saw was the words brewery so obviously i ventured down and found a small microbrewery called the Bund...

I managed to get a bit of extra info from its wiki article: Epsiode 6 "Italian craft breweries are examined. Dogfish Head Brewery opens its newest restaurant: a rooftop brewpub in New York City's Eataly. [NOTE: delays in the opening of the brewpub resulted in the episode remaining incomplete. A...

When i moved to 3v AG i already had the boiler that's shown in the link (25L) and use that as my HLT in my setup.

Just last week on a weekend away at the snow I bought a case of Big Helga so that i could enjoy and also introduce a more Carlton draught crowd to some craft brews. The first thing I noticed was the pronounced malt profile. Everyone enjoyed them and needless to say the case of Big Helga finished...

+1 from me also. My very first competition entry and was not entirely comfortable with the beer category i entered into as i knew what was lacking for the style. My scores were low and rightly so but insight into a more applicable category was given by all 3 judges which was fantastic to hear 3...

I mainly make lager K&Bs and i find they tend to take their time to carb up and reach their potential. I usually only ever sample one after giving it 6 weeks to condition in the bottle. Prior to that like you said the taste isnt the greatest. Lagers i find require alot of patience. Usual turn...

hahaha yeah i had read that article which explained everything on how to steep but the esky warning about hot liquid threw me which was why i asked about the equipment. Anyhow off to swap the smallish thermos to get an esky and brew tonight.. thanks for the quick responses everyone!!

Thanx for the quick response. I intend on steeping at around 70 degrees. I was concerned about the volume also as most people advise using at least 2L of water to steep but i didnt understand was why an esky states that it is not suitable for hot liquid. I thought everyone mashed in large...

Hi guys, I have been reading previous topics on the matter and i am confusing myself with the information so if i set out some questions can you please tell me yes or no or advise me correctly. 1. Do specialty malts (ie carapills) need to be cracked regardless of steeping or mashing? 2. Does...

Excellent sounds good ill include that also :icon_cheers:

Ive only ever used Saflager S-23 and i forgot to add in the OP that im open to suggestion on a different yeast... I have a fermentation temps under control with a fridge and fridgemate setup so no issue there... ok so minus the saaz dry hop and using 2 packets S189 yeast. Cool, any other...

Hi guys, Still using Kits and Bits but i am wanting to experiment in making my own recipe based on what i am starting to like rather than a specific clone. basically the overall idea is for a light (colour) crisp lager that has some fruit/citrus flavour and aroma. I have heard alot about the...

Unfortunately they aren't the only ones that do that... I have seen a few large chain stores that do the exact same thing. The singles and six packs are the imported stuff(is they stock it altogether) and the cases are the local stuff.... Thankfully ive gotten into home brewing and i am much...

Thanks for the quick reply. I have my fermenter to start the next batch off but as that will be in the fridge @ 12 degrees i wont be able to ferment the new batch and continue to lager the previous one @ 3 degrees. so i guess im trying to see if my process will work or if it will present any...

Hi guys, I am fairly new to home brewing and have lagered my latest K&K batch in a cube over the last month. As i am keen to free up the fridge space to start a new batch(es) am i able to take the cube out of the fridge, bottle it and store outside of the fridge in a cool spot without...
