I assumed nobody would look at "help my beer is foamy!", so gone with a slightly speculative title. So here's the deal. I have one key that consistently pours foam. When it has been sitting idle for a while, there is gas evolving in the beer line, for perhaps a 10cm length. I run 3 taps in...

Hey guys, I notice there is currently a lot of interest in storing yeast by frezzing it in a water/glycerine mixture. Not wanting to shit on anyone's parade, but just wondering why this approach is preferred over storing yeast in the fridge under water only? Flicking through my copy of...

Just wondering if there is/should be/could be a register of useful tools/materials people have that are willing to loan out locally for build projects? I seem to have purchased a lot of stuff that, brewery expansions notwithstanding I have limited use for. It's stuff that I want to hang onto...

Perhaps not a problem in Beersmith 2 (I'm still on 1.4), however I've noticed inconsistencies with my % efficiency, in particular it has been a few percentage points lower than expected using JW malts. I've always blindly used the potential gravities for grains that I downloaded off the...

I had an issue with my keg fridge a couple of days ago, noticed the temperature was creeping up above my setpoint (3.8C), got as high as about 6 before I shut the whole thing down. Note, the STC has been in operation for ~ 6 months with no issues, and in addition the fridge thermostat is also...

I'm sick of hearing about Ocsober, instead I'm going to do Bocktober this year! Brewing 20 litres for the cause (ah, raising awareness of something I guess). Anyone else brewing a bock this month add to the tally.....the more awareness raised the better!

Gold star/LG Master-K10 PLC base unit. Open to offers/ trades of nothing and upwards.

As per topic title, I used steel wool to clean the mung out of a couple of corny keg posts, plus the connections on the keg, which I have since learnt is not a good idea due to iron particles embedding and potentially rusting. I've hit everything that I scrubbed with a spray of triple strength...

Hi all, I have just bottled an APA (brewed with 1056) that I have had cold conditioning for about 10 days. All the beer stuff is out in the shed which I'm guessing is too cold (Melbourne) for bottle conditioning at present. All my heat sources are tied up keeping a saison at 28 degrees. So...

A colleague sent me these photos of refrigerated shipping containers at East Swanson Dock in Melbourne, which were transporting yeast. Apparently the power was disconnected en route between Sydney and Melbourne. Enjoy
