    How to fix overcarbed beer?

    So while i was out for the day on Sunday midday ish a kid turned up the dial on my regulator from 10 psi to 30. I figured out on monday night when it poured foam. I've turned it back and bled each keg a few times a day since. At least a dozen times. Now a few days later and its still pouring...

    Infected Lambic

    So 12 days ago I brewed 2 batches of lambic and split into four fermenters. As these were larger than normal batches I had trouble chilling and got impatient and threw into my fermenting fridge at zero at 11:30pm to get down to yeast pitching temp. It was perhaps somewhere in the 40's. Next...

    Expected Boil off for 50L batch?

    I use beersmith for writing my recipes and just run standard 23-25L batches. Depending on boil time I would usually have 33 (60m) and 36 (90m) Litres pre boil. My end amount is about 25L before wort is removed off trub. I have size capacity to get that to 50L and will be doing this in the near...

    Mulberry Beer

    I've got a rather productive Black Mulberry tree. I'm thinking I'd love to make a beer with Mulberries but being quite a new brewer I haven't really jumped outside of the style guidelines as of yet. The only thought I had was a Mulberry Saison. In terms of flavour profile it has good natural...

    Eatons Hill Hotel Beerfest

    I usually avoid this place but this event has caught my eye. Over 100 craft beers and ciders from over 20 breweries. How much you ask? Gold coin donation. I'm left thinking, what's the catch? Surely they can't charge per glass at each stand. Would be a nightmare to manage. I'm thinking it has...

    De Pressurising a 50L Keg

    I was given a 50L keg and I'd like to turn it into a HLT. I don't really want to buy a keg coupler to de gas it, is there anyone North Brisbane, Pine Rivers area that has one and could de pressurise it for me? It's a CUB keg. Picture below.

    WTB: 9.5L Corny Kegs

    Before I go out and buy new ones I thought I'd check and see if any were available. They don't seem to come up often. Looking for two. Would prefer ball locks to pin locks. Can swap for 19L Ball Lock kegs or pay $$.

    Keg lost pressure

    I kegged my first beer last Monday using the force carbonation method. 90 seconds at 200kpa then flick back to 65-70kpa for serving. Poured perfectly. Beginners luck perhaps. The beer was in my temp controlled ferment fridge and had been cold crashed at zero degrees so would have been carved...

    What kind of tap would you use for a cider?

    I'm building a keezer and at this stage I'm settled on buying Perlick 650ss flow control for my beers. I plan on having one tap committed to cider, Is there any value in buying the same tap for cider or am I just wasting my money?

    How to stop fermentation.

    Ok so 3rd brew and I'm still learning. I've just discovered my thermometer was a few degrees out and I've been mashing too high. The beer stopped at 1.022. This has been consistent in all the beers I have made. I added the alpha amylase enzyme to see if I could break down any extra sugars and...

    Hargraeves Hill Esb Clone - Recipe help.

    Hi All, I'm really keen to give this beer a go but have struggled to find any solid information on it. There are a few threads around here with discussion but very little on recipes. I've tried bumping one of the old threads to no avail. The beer itself has the typical English bitter malt...
