Gooday all. I am not sure if I am posting this in the correct forum so mods please feel free to relocate if you wish. Quite a few years back my wife and I were visiting our son who was based in Townsville. We went to the small brewery in the middle of town. There we had a tasting session and the...

Gooday all. I am taking baby steps towards partial mash brews. At the moment I am buying half kilo bags of cracked grain from my brew shop. Expensive if nothing else at $6.50 for .5kg. The label on the bag says cracked grain but when I look at it I can see quite a lot of intact grains. That...

Gooday all. I live in a provincial city just north of Brisbane. My local brew shop is somewhat limited in what they carry. I understand that, small businesses have to run a tight ship to make a profit. I want to continue supporting them but want to branch out with my brewing. Can some of you...

Gooday all. I am brewing using kits and extracts and yeasts, not the one on the can and hops. Question is this. Many years ago when I was brewing and bottling I read that it is a good idea to boil all your ingredients, not the hops and yeast, in a big pot, tip this in the fermenter then add cold...

Gooday all. I have a 3 keg set up in my downstairs fridge. I chose to buy and install an in line filter. One of those clear plastic vessels with filter tube inside and a blue screw on top. The inlet valve comes from the product tube of the keg to the inlet side of the filter. There is a little...

Gooday all. I am having a bit of trouble getting my carbonation right. What I currently do is fill my 23L SS keg put the lid on, attach gasline,screw pressure up to 40psi open gas line to keg and rock the keg back and forth for 4.5 minutes. Usually I do this 2/3 days before I will need to swap...

Gooday all. I don't want to thread-jack so am starting this.I have 2 SS 23l kegs, 4 x 25l fermenters and 3 x 25l plastic jerry cans and 2 fridges. I want to get way ahead of myself on fermenting,racking and kegging. What storage conditions are appropriate for the jerry cans that I have racked my...

Gooday all. I am just back into brewing and as many of you would have done, I have invested quite a few bucks in new equipment. In particular I have bought 2 23ltr stainless kegs. Problem! The actual body of my kegs are definitely stainless and I am unable to get a magnet to stick to them...

Gooday folks. My mate and I were just having a yarn about flushing our kegs,lines and taps. We were speculating on using an air compressor to pressurize the keg and then blow half a keg of hot water and cleaning agent through to clean the system out. We talked about using the air that we use to...

Gooday folks. My first post here I think. I joined some time ago but got lost in transit. I brewed and bottled beer for many years, making the odd foray into trying different yeasts and malts hops etc. I still have my converted Tooheys stainless steel keg. Used to get about 110 long necks at a...
