    Beginners Hops

    It was too late. She's done!!! The sugars were from the LHBS under the label of 'Ultra Blend'. I am assuming there is that much maltodex. Maybe there is less, I am only guessing. Came out @ OG 1042. I could maybe dry hop in a few days if anyone thinks it might need it. Got no clue on what to...

    Reusing Yeast Directly From The Fermenter

    The yeast I am using is from the Morgans blue mountain lager, which as I understand is better than kit yeast but by no means top quality. It makes for a perfect opportunity to tempt my hand at reusage. Say I used 3/4 of a cup of slurry in another kit, say coopers mexican with enhancers, is that...

    Reusing Yeast Directly From The Fermenter

    I have looked through the yeast related topics and have failed to find what I am looking for. Can I wash the yeast once fermentation has finished and use it straight away in the following batch within an hour say? I have heard of people putting a new batch straight onto the the leftover sediment...

    Brewing With Tank Water

    There must be 50 - 100 analysis a lab can run on water to test for bacteria, minerals and toxicity etc. At between $8 and $100 per analysis, I am assuming you only analysed the basic parameters. When samples are collected, they must be placed in an esky with dry ice or ice at a minimum. For pH...

    Brewing With Tank Water

    Releasing biological unknowns in a biological environment is certainly asking for trouble. Tank water is harnessed off the roof surface which one would normally assume is not sanitized. It then remains generally stagnant until oxygenating slightly through the plumbing. Unless you can analyze...

    'battle Of The Toucans'

    I made a toucan tooheys lager not long ago. Added 250g of dex, to 25 litres, pitched both yeasts @ 24 degrees and stabalised @ 22 degrees. Fermenter went crazy on day 1 and 2, almost frothed the airlock. The finished product was good to go at 2 weeks but a little bitter for me. At 4 weeks, it...
