thanks all , great advice ; i'll look into the 50L. still figuring out the urn or pot question, cL

I need some advice on what sort of Stockpot to source for AG brewing , i'm ready to make the leap from Partial Mash brewing. Need to know what sizes for Brew In The Bag , it seems 40L is recommended here and there. Also , what are your thoughts on an Urn instead of a Stockpot. cheers cL

Kmart has deleted all Coopers and Brigalow stock too , now i've got to pay the HBS prices for crown seals and carb tabs.

Thanks Dicko I was only expecting blank stares after that post so any reaction is much appreciated.

This is a curly one but in the spirit of recycling water and possible starches , here goes... When i cook Rice , i wash it three times to remove starches and make for a less gluggy brighter looking rice grain after cooking. It crossed my mind yesterday that the milky water i was pouring on the...

The T-58 saga continues...the yeast (as i mentioned at the Head of the Topic) got too hot (up to around 26C) after a heat pad mishap. Reduced temp to 18C ; slow bubbling for another day (the yeast looked dead through the top of the fermenter) , then nothing for a whole day. This morning , it...

thanks people ! it did get up to 26C !!! maybe i can call it a '2nd day diacetyl rest' ;) after pulling the plug and getting the temp down to 18C today , even though the yeast doesn't look so good i'm still getting bubbles in the airloclk every 30 seconds so there's likely enough juice left in...

Thanks all ! Unfortunately i might have killed it ! Put it on the heat pad for a 'while' yesterday , forgot it ; went to work last night , got back at Midnight and it was like a boiling kettle. It had chewed through the sugars down to 1.022 from 1.049 in a day but now it's looking very brown...

I'm making a Belgian Wheatbeer with T-58. I've heard a few people say this prefers around 22C. At present it's 18C in the Kitchen with a Jacket around it to keep temp stable Any suggestions ? cL

@joshua I really get what you say about the overt sweetness. The Pilsner is only just starting to get any carbonation and the sweetness seems to be conveyed in a very different way at that carb. level. I've found that in some tap beers the excess of carbonation makes hops really attack my top...

I started brewing this year in March and it was still Summer Temps , i'm just wondering what sort of time i would expect for Bottle Carbonation in Winter ? I'm conditioning in the kitchen near the fridge (which is the warmest place) but averages around 15C or less. The last 2 brews : Bock and...

Awesome Mahony ! Thanks heaps. cL

Didn't mean to start a war ! Sorry peeps !! Just trying to figure something out and needed help , as i don't have scales right now. I'm sure im not the only one who has ever been in this situation before or during a brew day. I've divided the pack before as a guesstimate , maybe next time...

I tried to get a hold of a digital scale for weighing hops from China online but they are out of stock. Not have an accurate weighing method is a bit of a disaster for bittering/flavouring/aroma of wort , so this leads me to my question. Does anyone know the approx. weight of a Single Hop...

Cheers Raven cL

Hi All So i made an Ale inside the house as it is very cold in Melbourne at Present. Used the heat pad to keep it at around 19C. Now i'm racking it and i want some advice... Should it remain inside at around 19C for a couple of weeks or would it be better to put it out into 5-10C ambient...

Great tip BribieG , thanks ! When i re-use Dry Hop hops , I pretty much just grab the stocking from the secondary and wrap it up and freeze it. I figure any yeast there will just become nutrient in the boil. cL

Cheers Manticle , good to hear from someone...i may try once more and see how it turns out. With a bit more experience tasting it may not taste like it did a few months ago. cL

Not intending to re-use Flavour hops ever , just Dry Hopped stuff. I always put my hops in stockings for boils and dry-hopping to keep the plant material out of the wort Yep , i'm definately penny pinching here. I'm coming up on my 10th brew since i started in early March and still experimenting.
