    How to improve head retention

    clean a glass with starsan, let it air dry then fill it with water and you'll have head. You may as well just put a capful in the keg :) . Manticle knows his stuff and has always been helpful but I'm with MHB on this. I've copped flak here for rinsing my kegs after starsan-ing them but I always...

    messed up IBU, around 19, should be 37+, after 6 days in FV - ideas?

    I'd make another batch about 60IBUs and mix them when they go in the kegs. I have stuffed up and made a brew too bitter, but after a few months in the bottle it was pretty good, so I'd say it will be even less bitter if you "leave it a bit longer". good luck

    Female 240v outlets?

    It isn't, and there should be an M E N point at the main board. I'm dubious about that. If its hard wired it's bolted to the wall and connected to the board. If you mean it should be fitted in the fridge itself then it would be no different in the case you described. If there was a faulty ext...

    got a brick wet bar design/ pics?

    Hi all, has anyone got a good wet bar made from brick? I'm looking for design ideas. I know its not rocket science but I wan't to get it right first time. I can lay bricks and do a bluestone insert/ panel on the front but can't find any designs I like. Bricks will match the fireplace I built...

    Extract beer too sweet/poor head

    "about" 7-8L is probably not good enough, you need to be measuring everything accurately for reproducability. 600g in8L with the carapils will give you a BG too high causing low IBU's. I think 200g dex with 300g carapils in 5L is more like it. I need to reinstall beersmith to check. either...

    STC-1000 wiring - check my work

    since you asked, it's wired right in theory but in practice it's a bit sloppy. no need for the top terminal block , you shoulda cut the wires longer. you only need a screw terminal for the earth [the manufacturer could've provided an earth loop on the device imo ], put the active into term 1...

    Infection help.

    maybe keg sooner? 2 pks of 05 into 1065 shouldnt take more than 2 weeks. of course once ferment stops its far more susceptable [sorry to insult you by stating the obvious ]. maybe try 1 week at 20C then 2-3 days at 23c then keg. might not really be solving your prob but it might prevent it if...

    Us05 for a double batch

    you could pitch 1 pk into 20L then when it gets krausenating add the other 20L . I've done it with no probs. zwickel learned me that one, he reckons it's a common practice over there in deutschland

    American IPA

    use 1kg dex per 50L in extract AIPA's/ APA's, should finish around 1014 with 05. without the dex the body doesnt seem right

    A Guide to "Extract with Specialty Grain" Brewing

    I can't find that quote anywhwere, someone must've deleted it. Anyway, like I said in my extract .doc, I do a 5L boil to make 50L extract and just hold the hose up a metre or so above the fermentator and thrash the bejesus outa it with an aerating paddle and I see krausen in a few hours.
