Sorry - im in newcastle

Hi guys i have a fridge freezer is was using for fermentation which i no longer require. $50 negotiable.

Hi everyone. Sorry for dragging up this old thread, but i'm going to be brewing one of these over the next few weeks and was wondering how much to prime my cider with? I normally go with about 150g of dex for my ales, but i'm guessing a cider needs to be a bit higher? Anyone have any advice...

Cheers guys. I prefer to put them inside something as i've had some small chucks end up in my bottles a few times - admittedly those are the times i didnt crash chill though...

Thanks guys. Another question - how do you normally sanitise them if you're using them for dry hopping? Is giving them a dunk in some starsan good enough?

Hey guys, I did my first extract brew on the weelend, and now i have hopsock that is full of tiny little hop particles that broke down over the boil and lodged themselves within the holes of the hopsock. I rinsed it thoroughly with hot water when i was finished but it is still quite dirty. What...

Thanks Dr. I was thinking around 120g as i normally use 150g and wanted something a little less fizzy. Ill give the 110g a go and see how it is - I'm sure ill brew this beer more than once!

Dr Smurto - how many grams of sugar would you recommend for bulk priming this one? Thanks.

Hey guys, I keep turtles which need a fair amount of UV to stay healthy. I can assure that very little commercially available light globes produce any UV light at all - its a PITA finding ones that do! Also the few that do, the UV light is only good for about 10cm from the surface of the globe...

I've got a lager going at the moment with that same yeast. Mine has been below 10 degrees, i think its at about 8. It has taken a bit longer to ferment - its been three weeks now and its just about done - but it tastes very clean so far...

Hey, is 15 degrees a bit too high for a lager? I had one sitting in the garage with no temp control and it was sitting on 15 as well. I thought this might've been a bit high so i chucked it in the fridge (on the lowest fridge setting) and now its at about 8 degrees i think...

Sorry for OT, but could you share your Fat Yak recipe?

I have just got myself about 10 cartons of Carona bottles - will these be ok to use? I know i will have to keep them out of the light...

Thanks guys, sounds like its ok. Ill take a photo tonight after work...

Hey guys, Got a coopers dark ale going at the moment. Its been in primary for 9 days so far and has a thick crud layer on top. It looks like the krausen that gets left on the side of the fermenter and goes all hard. Ingredients were just dark ale tin and 1kg of dark LME. Its been fermenting at...

Thanks guys its in there now chilling

Ok so ill chuck the fermenter in the fridge this arvo after its cooled down. However, if i do chuck it in there and all the yeast drops out, wont it make it hard to carb up once i bottle if theres hardly any yeast in there?

Hi, I have been fermenting a Coopers IPA and it has reached its FG. I also yesterday got a fridge of a mate which i am going to convert to a fermenting fridge over the next few months. My question is - should i chuck the IPA into the fridge as it is now and cold crash for a few days? Will this...

Sorry guys i thought it was in my info on the left. Im in newcastle.

Hi all, I am looking for some glass bottles for my brew. If anyone has any for sale it would be appreciated. Any shapes/sizes will do! Cheers, Tom
