Hey guys, About two years ago I got hit by a car on a bicycle and did my back. Pretty much since then I have hardly brewed just because I can't lift stuff without getting laid up in bed for a couple days afterwards. Basically if I want to do a brew I have to stand there and direct my wife...

About to get serious with water chemistry, i went to find the calculator in my brew mate but it wasnt there. I have version 1.26. Did an earlier version have it and then they remove it? I swear it used to be there.

After growing hops for a few years now I've noticed that pride of ringwood does the best in qld for me in terms of disease resistance and yield. However, not knowing alpha acid content basically makes this hop useless. A couple years ago I met the owner of Hop Co and he told me that this makes...

A good mate of mine has been been smashing out some really quick, great tasting brews in 2 hours, which he aptly calls the "smasher". It consists of a 30min mash followed by a 30min boil. I've noticed a few things with the smasher, it seems to have a fuller mouthfeel and his clarity is a lot...

I normally brew AG but it so cold at the moment that i want to go to the garage as little as possible. My biab rig really suffers when I try to do big beers so i've been thinking about dosing them up with some extract. Whats the maximum amount of extract that I can chuck in before i taste it...

This current house i'm living in is FULL of weavils. Everything gets eaten by them. Anyone ever tried dosing their sacks with a teaspoon of Diatomaceous Earth? Its used as a filtering agent so i assume it doesnt have any off flavours, plus it will have plenty of time to drop out in the cube...

Cleaning out the garage and found a jockey box. Has the flat aluminium heat exchanger. A couple 50L couplers and a xxxx pull down tap make an offer

If money isnt an issue, which is the best of these three systems and why? I'm very wary of the robobrew purely because its made by kegking. The grainfather and Braumeister seem neck and neck however the grainfather comes with a chiller, which would seem to put it out a little in front...

My flatmate just brought home this beer and it is fantastic. Anyone got a clone?

I was talking to a microbiologist friend today who has been comparing the genetics of wlp004, wy1084 with the Guinness strain. He found that whilst wlp084 and wy1084 are nearly genetically identical they are very different to the Guinness strain. In fact, both yeasts are more similar with...

I made a duvel clone a month or two ago and cubed it. I've been noticing it over the last couple weeks and thought it had more oxygen than it should have. Looking at it tonight im positive that its swelling. I've had swollen cubes before and thay've pretty much exploded 3 day after being cubed...

Hi everyone, I've been reading through a lot of recipes in the last week looking for a nice imperial IPA to make. I'm finding it really difficult to work out whether people are nochilling or chilling as it is rarely mentioned. It would be really helpful if people would put this into their...

Moved into a new house and for some reason i have weevils everywhere!!! Everything is stored in the garage where i doubt grain has ever been stored before but they are still getting into everything, even though my grain is stored in 20L handy pails. I started freezing handy pails full of grain...
