    Finished my new mash tun - wall to wall false bottom, centre draining,

    Started with a 60 L thermo pot, and built everything up as I acquired the necessary hardware. I haven't brewed with it yet, but I figured I'd take some glamour shots fresh out of the workshop.

    Anyone used a US solar pump TD5?

    As per the title, anyone ever used one of these? I've been looking for a low voltage DC pump with a stainless head and speed control (I plan on automating some of my brewery). The manufacturer has told me they can do me a custom TD5 with a speed control wire. About $135AUD delivered to my door...

    How do Beerbelly bulkheads seal?

    I'm trying to sort out some bulkhead fittings for my new kettle and mash tun. I can't quite work out how the Beerbelly weldless bulkheads work: http://shop.beerbelly.com.au/bulkhead-50mm.html Are they just two locknuts, two washers, two gaskets and a long parallel threaded nipple? If yes, what...

    Mash paddle from a single plank

    I figured I'd make myself a mash paddle on the weekend. I wanted something a bit traditional looking, but couldn't be bothered dealing with doweled joints. Hence, I came up with this: It is designed to be cut from a single 19x125x900mm jarrah plank from Bunnings. Any feedback? I'm happy to...

    High ABV Belgian ale not carbonating

    I brewed a high ABV Belgian ale that I bottled about 4 weeks ago. It appears that there is not remaining yeast in the bottles, as they aren't carbonating. Some details: Used Wyeast 3787 (Trappist High Gravity) OG was 1.111 FG was 1.026 ABV estimated at 11.3% Added about 250g of dextrose...

    Yeast slant infections

    I made up a batch of about 30 slants about 6 months ago to use for yeast storage. They've been sitting in a box until today, when I decided to use them. I'd guess about 50% of them are infected, with all sorts of different colours and shapes of mould? What are people's typical hit rates with...

    Ending a fly sparge - drain the tun or not?

    I'm a new AG brewer. For my first two brews, I attempted to calculate the amount of water in my mash tun not absorbed by the grain and drained the mash tun at the end of my fly sparge. I had fairly limited success. The first time I had to add top up water before the boil, the second time I...

    My single vessel allgrain system

    I figured it was about time to post some details of my allgrain system. I've only brewed with it a couple of times, and there are still some niggly things I'd like to get sorted out, as well as a heap of extra features I'd like to add to it. It is a bit... well... different. I spent a long time...

    Cheap Italian Spiral Burner

    This post is mainly for the Perth forum goers. I was walking past an Asian grocers at Belmont Forum (called Belmont Groceries and Halal Meat, Yellow Pages listing) and noticed what looked suspiciously like an Italian Spiral burner. It is likely a cheaper knockoff, not the OMAC brand, but it has...

    Stout Extract Recipe

    Seeing as I managed to massively overoak a German Pilsner that I'm currently lagering, I figured I'd make the best of it and brew a stout. That way, I can pour a black and tan, and hopefully the oakiness of the pilsner will compliment the burnt chocolatey flavours of the stout. I've based it...
