Lucky enough to have come across about 50 473ml Grolsch bottles. Would love to put my Cider in them but am not sure on the priming rate. I relise that bulk primming is probably the go but am very short of time. If using Carb drops, one or two?. If placing sugar into the bottle, the standard...

I love a good hop aroma in my all garin beers but have never tried hopped before. Have read alot and have a few questions. Does the ratio of 1g of hops to 1 ltr of wort sound about right ? Was going to use a sanatized tea ball and add to primary after fermenatation has slowed or wait and rack...

Going to have a crack at a Black Rock cider kit as Ive never made a cider before. My question is When I made extract brews I would normally boil as mush water as I could, dissolve in the malts, hops and boil as normal, cool and ferment. Should I use this method with the cider kit , add in...

Evening all. Anythoughts on racking canes (racking in general). Have thought about getting one. Does removing wort once fermented out off the trub have any advantages. If Largering I can understand that racking would be advantageous but for ales and others is there any point. If so whats the...

G'day Guys. My mash tun is a converted eski with braided hose in the bottom as my filter. My question is when do I add my batch sparge water. Should I wait and completely drain all my first runnings or wait till the level is well under the grain bed(leaving some wort in the mash tun). Have made...

G,day guys. Have started all grain brewing and using WHITE LABS Liquid yeasts. As these things are not cheap I intend to divide them up. Have found a bit of info on the subject but would like to Know if I have to let it completely ferment out before I divide it into six small batches, or whilst...
