Hi all, I made a delicious chocolate porter - but ruined it by adding too many shots of espresso. It still tastes amazing - BUT - it's WAY too bitter. I know it will mellow over time - but I don't really have much time and would like to drink it in about 3 weeks. I've read some have tackled...

Hi all, I have a gas leak that I thought was either a bag keg lid seal, bad hose clips, bad distribution tap or something else - turns out, it's something else. If I turn the reg down all the way, so much so that the knob is totally loose, and turn the gas bottle on, the high pressure gauge...

Hi all. My kegorator is outside. On hot days in Melbourne it struggles to keep temps under control. I've got a small amount (all I had) of silver bubble wrap on the top and one side but it's not cutting it. Any suggestions?

Hi all. I bought a kegorator kit and with it for the gas and beer lines came these weird little hose clamps. How the heck do you use them? I tried clamping the sides of the little sticky up bit in the direction of the arrows with some pliers but nothing moved. Any ideas? Do I need a special tool?

Hi all, I put an IPA in one of my fridges to crash chill before getting. Unfortunately the thermostat played up and it got to -9C according to the bottle of frozen water with a temp probe I had in there. The beer in the fermenter is not frozen solid, but feels a bit 'slushy' if I wiggle it back...

Hi there. I have a brass T piece and a stainless T piece in my setup. I'm tempted to buy another stainless T piece but wondering if it's worth it. Is there anything wrong running brass for the mashing stage, or the boil stage?

Hi all, I currently have a very simple recirculated mash setup. A pot with a false bottom, pump and temp sensor (using an STC-1000 in a T piece as the wort re-enters the mash tun). I am currently having to manually light the burner under the pot every so often to keep the mash temp where I want...

Hi all. I've got a bunnings special 3 ring burner that normally works fine with the 50L pot sitting directly on it. I do however find the flames often spill up and around the side of the pot. I've since had a stand made and wondering the height I should have between burner and pot? I guess it...

Hi all, I need to mount an STC probe into a fitting for a HERMS type setup. I came across this thread which is exactly what I was thinking of doing: https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/thermowell-questions.62738/ But I'm wondering if Araldite or 2 part epoxy, is actually the best solution...

Hi all. I've got a 1/2" magnetic pump but not happy with the flow for a decent whirlpool. I'd like to use a 3/4" pump as this would have a LOT more flow and I think would work much better. But I'm wondering if I can use my existing 1/2" fittings, taps and hoses and with only a 1/2" to 3/4"...

Hi all. Wanting a simple temp probe to stick at the exit of the wort from my pump before it returns to mash. Currently have a BBQ meat one and while it works really well it is only accurate to 1C. I'd really like it to be accurate to 0.1C. I did think about a STC-1000 as they're cheap and...

Hi all, This weekend I'm brewing a smoked porter - but unfortunately my LHBS doesn't have smoked malt. I have some wrights liquid smoke hickory - can I use this? Has anyone else used liquid smoke, in particular wrights, which has no additives? Cheers Hunt

Hi all. I'm after an immersion chiller. Not fussed on size or copper vs stainless. I'm based in Melbourne. What's out there? Cheers Hunt

Hi all. My situation changed and I moved to Melbourne last year from New Zealand and have moved away from my all grain brewtroller controlled HERMS system that I built and now I have nothing! I'm looking around at decent home brew stores in my area (I'm in Melbourne 3004). I want to start...

Hey all I brewed a Pilsner on Sunday and put it in one of my temp controlled fridges set at 12C. Unfortunately I didn't make sure the temp probe was stuck to the side of the fermenter when I shut the fridge door. Without me realising it had fallen onto the ground outside the fridge. I checked...

Hey all Currently when people get a house beer from one of the taps in my garage they put a mark next to their name or a gold coin donation. There's a $20 or 14 day credit limit - whichever comes first. Would be nice if there was some sort of android app for this. I've had a look around the...

Hey all I've just made a 1L starter with 1 pack of dry S-04. Could I get the yeast slurry from this starter, and add it to another 1L of DME/water mix? Or do I need to make the starter bigger, i.e. 2L? Cheers Hunt

Hey all I'm wanting to make a heat shield for my boil kettle. Currently it's a 70L stainless pot - however it seems to be closer to 65L and I'm going to upgrade it to a 100L as I was right on the limit with my last batch. I was thinking of creating a ring of stainless sheet just a tad under...
