I've got about 40-50L worth of glass long neck bottles sitting in my basement that haven't been used since I started kegging. They need a good wash but apart from that there're good to go. I'm happy to swap for a 6-pack of your finest ale. Pick up only from East Brisbane. PM me if you're...

Apologies for starting another "have I killed my yeast" thread, but I've done something pretty dumb and I'm calling on the collective wisdom of AHB to let me know if the situation is salvagable. A couple of weeks ago my second fridge out in the garage got switched off. At the time I neglected...

I was originally going to post this in the “Whirlfloc and then what?” (http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/91101-whirlfloc-and-what-then/page-3#entry1378649) thread but as I was writing it it took on a life of it's own so I'm starting a new thread. I've been AG for three or four years now, doing...

I've two bitters in fermenters at the moment that have both stopped at a FG of 1030. The malt bill was the same on both of them, 90% ale and 10% dark crystal to an OG of 1045. Single step mash at 68C for an hour. Both were aerated before pitching using my new aeration pump. Yeast was an old...

Hi All, I got a new esky for Christmas to use as a mash tun and had my first run with it today. I ended up with an efficiency of about 65% which is way below what I used to get (sometimes nudging 80%). My old system was a small esky with a manifold at the bottom to drain. I used to batch...

I thought there might be a few on here interested in this. Let's hope that something comes of it. http://www.roboakeshott.com/node/1089

So I've been all grain brewing for a while noa and am jsut about to get into adding brewing salts to adjust my water chemistry and have a few questions. 1: I will be using rain water from a tank. I have heard it is fair to assume that for all intents and purposes it will be pretty much the same...

I'm getting a dark mild on this weekend and don't know waht yeast to use. I've got some Brit ale II (1335), W yorkshire (1469), german ale (1007), american ale (1056), Irish ale (1084) and some Australian ale in the fridge. I don't ahve time to get to the homebrew store, so I'm limited to the...

Hey everyone, First time poster, long time lurker. I've been brewing AG for about 10 brews now and all of my beers, although clear at room temp are hazy when they come out of the fridge. From my reading on the subject I understand that this may be because of cold break proteins coming out of...
