the can i'm using is "malt only" unbittered

i'm a "K&K" brewer and don't want to over complicate my brews as i have, in the past FUBB'd (see: :icon_vomit: ) by over complicating/ changing too much. i'm trying to keep it low bitterness as i don't like bitter beers (20+ IBU) and the sazz might conflict with the other flavors. also i've...

i was half asleep when i posted and hadn't fully formed my idea yet. Plan: Volume 23L Morgans Wheat Extract (un-hopped) x2 Hallertau Hops (pellets, 3.5 %AA, 2010 crop) Fermentis WB-06 Going to let that brew for a week then split it. FV1: Volume ~10L Above Base 1KG (maybe 500g) Ginger...

Hey all, i know i'm probably leaving it a bit late but i want to do a "Christmas Brew". i just downed a 'Brew Dog' "There is No Santa" and was very disappointed with it. (no aroma or taste from the ginger or cacao nibs) i was thinking similar flavors but on a 'Wheat Base' (Can of Goo)

EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE (sorry had to do it)

UPDATE: Tapped a keg mid last month and have had it sitting in the fridge. have noticed that the hop flavor has become more pronounced and the honey flavor which was light but still noticeable has dissipated. i will be making this again as some people at work have asked for it (surprising...

ok after taking it to my LHBS and getting an expert opinion (well more expert than me) he recommended sealing it and shoving it in the back of the cupboard for a year +- then try it again.

OK. i had a taste of it last night (both warm & chilled) and noticed that there was a bitter taste upfront that lingered well after. had to wash my mouth out with Jim Beam: Black Cherry :) i'm going to take a small sample to my LHBS as there is a guy that does mead there. i'm going to try...

it might be that but since bottling it has dissipated and the smell no longer gives a buzz (has been about 48hrs since bottling) but the fruit smell still lingers.

i get a slight "buzz" from just the fumes. before i racked it it was heading toward the rancid that's why i racked to get it off the fruit. i'm not carbing it and have a bottle in the fridge to taste later tonight. i'm going to "cellar" the bottles that aren't in the fridge. (see linen cupboard)

hey all, i just bottled my JAO that i put down on 4-Jul. i racked it in September because the fruit was not falling and it was developing a strong overripe fruit smell but still wasn't clearing. i went on holidays at the end of November still wasn't clearing & returned at the end of December...

the mini kegs i'm using are only 5L

i used that calc but is it in metric, imperial or glasses

did a bit more looking Dark & Stormy 1.5 oz rum (44ml) top up with Ginger Beer in a tall Glass (8 oz) (237 ml). now my math sucks what would that work out to be?

Hey all, i have a 5L (~4L) batch of ginger beer almost ready to go and was wondering how much rum i would need to make it into dark and stormy. it will be going into one of my mini kegs.

Ginger is on Special @ Coles $6.99 a KG

about $19 getting mine from the markets = $3 a bunch/2-3 BIG pieces. i'm gonna boil it all up and strain it into the demi so no solid bits. for ginger prep what would be better: sliced thin grated baby food

hey all, looking for a GB recipe scaled to 4.5L. my rough outline is 1kg ginger 500g sugar 1 lemon - juice only water to 4.5L 1 red chilli (maybe) generic brewers yeast. it's going to be going into my spare 5L Demi. Q1. is a 5L demi, 5L total capacity (right to the top)?

/bump anyone?

hey all, how do you get the supplied bung out of the mini-keg? i filled and sealed on Saturday and on Monday my two piece bungs arrived. how do i remove them so i can swap them over?
