Brewing all grain creates a lot of solid waste, what does every one do with theirs? My grain goes to a mate with chickens and my trub gets flushed. Ash

Gday I have just finished building my new hopback. I ended up going with seals and threads rather than welding and it means everything is removable/de-constructable for cleaning etc. It could even be used as a mini mash tun for 'trial' stove top mashes etc. Its going to get its first run...

Gday Im building a basic hopback and need to adhere a peice of stainless mesh to the inside of a small pot. welding is not an option. I want to keep it pretty simple to start with untill i know how i want to design a better one eventually. Something along the lines of a silicon type thing...

Cylidro-conicals always seem to be regarded as the best type of fermenter for home brewing and every one seems to want to get them but i havent seen too many people with them. I will be going to Stainless CC's as soon as i decide what size to go, or if wortgames gets them going and they are...

I recently tried leifmans old bruin which is a belgian wild fermented brown ale. like a lambic without the fruit but darker malts. This really caught my attention and im thinking about having a go at brewing something similar. Has any one had any experience brewing something like this? I have...

Gday Im going to start building my stand soon. Im not yet sure how to do it so that it looks good, is strong and easy to get to the valves etc under the tanks. Im going to be building a 2.5 tier system (HLT only 100mm higher than Mash). Im trying to decide whether to go metal or wooden (ex...

Gday guys. at what temp do people botle condition their lagers? my pilsner has been in CC for a month and tastes great, i dont want it developing fruity flavours by conditioning too warm. is 12 Degrees ok or should it be warmer? Cheers, Ash

Can we as home brewers get hand pumps? I know that the beer would be oxidized within a day or 2 but for half of a batch, rack into a mini fermenter when bottling the rest. add some dry hops and serve from a hand pump for a party. Could you serve it straight from the fermenter if you did this?

I have tonight off from work so Im able to go for the first time. Is any one from here going and what might be happening? Do they have a website? Cheers, Ash

Im planning a simple german style pale wheat beer for summer but i dont want to make a whole heap of wheat beers so id rather not buy a liquid culture. are there any dry yeasts that can give decent fruit and spice flavours/aromas? A thread on here somewhere indicated that K-97 is a koelsch...

Keep in mind that Alonso will be penalised 2 seconds off his fastest laps in qualifying at budapest leaving him very little chance of a good spot.

Made this today with some bits of junk laying around in my shed. The height is adjustable depending on the size mash, here it is set to 20L for my next brew. The tube has about 15 slits in it made with a hacksaw which will hopefully be enough to let the flow from the march pump and coil to come...

Has any one tried this? Basically Im thinking of making some sort of ale as normal but mash a little warmer and not sparge at all and adding water to the kettle to get the volume right. Its an expensive way of making a lower grav beer but im not brewing to save money but to make great beers.

Gday, the SS brewery should be ready to go late this week and i have got a munich helles style lager planned to keep the first one simple(ish). How does this sound? 90% weyermann pils 4% caramalt 4% acid malt 2% melanoiden about 10EBC and OG 1.049 @75% 22IBU and ~1g/L crystal at 15 and flame...
