Hey there Guys, Did my first AG Saturday, all went well however thought just before packing everything up I thought I would run some water through the heat exchange to get it all clean. So far I have run through about 50L of cold water and hops mainly appear to be still coming out, any idea's...

Hi Guys, I am currently in the process of building an AG setup (time to jump into it), most of the shopping list is done although I am just unsure on how to approach the burner side of things as I want this to be automatic. At TAFE they have a setup where there are 2 temperature controllers...

Hey Guys, I just finished my first beer since getting back into brewing, popped it into the keg and put the pressure up to ~40psi, I've done a quick search and can't seem to find the answer to my next couple of questions. I am in no real hurry to drink it but should I leave it @ ~40psi for 48...

Hi there Guys, I've had a break from brewing and decided to dust off the good ole fermenters and get right back into things. First batch finished (Coopers Ginger Beer with 1KG Raw sugar), i thought something easy to get the ball rolling again. Anyway yesterday came and was all pumped up about...

Hey Guys, Well it's certainly been a while, I put down a brew (ale) from Grumpy's Sunday arvo after having a rather long break from it all (2 - 3 years I guess) I decided to jump back into the home brew after someone from my web site bought up something about home brew. Since Sunday I have...

Hey Guys, Long time no see, I've had a bit of a break from brewing but I want to get back into it full swing and what better than to try out my first lager. Now I guess where do I start with it? Pretty much I am using Saflager yeast which is best under 20 degrees from what I understand so...

Howdy Guys, Long time no see. I have been brewing despite not posting anything the past errr little while but I have been reading what's going on. Anyway here's my question. I've got a Hydrometer as we all should and I've got the flask type thing which goes with it, now the problem is how can...

Ok guys another billion questions for you, geez I could make up the FAQ by myself and you guys could answer them hehe Basically I am not stupid (some may think otherwise) but what I am trying to achieve is the best possible result out of beer and do the right things along the way. Since I've...

Besides the yeast what differences need to be known in order to do an ale? I have only ever done ale's but wouldn't mind trying an lager. I have found the ultimate place for brewing, in the pit :) A nice cozy 16 degrees C even though it's 40+ degrees above the wood. The only trouble is room...

In my local HBS last week and noticed the following sitting on the shelves and wondering what they were like. Munton's Gold Range Munton's Premium Gold Range I saw $40 for one of them, can't recall which one but thought that was a little steep considering but just curious whether anyone has...

It was recommended to me I should rehydrate the yeast before using, I had no problems with this as I'm fully open to suggestions anyway I have attempted this twice so far and each time the yeast eventually goes to the bottom of the container and dies. What am I doing wrong I keep asking myself...

Below is a snippet from the Aussie Brewing Group by a guy named *** **** who has opened a brew shop in Adelaide called ****** ****. The stuff below really annoys me! How is anyone meant to learn? I have been a member for a few months and tried to read what they are talking about but a lot of it...

I guess this would be the best spot to place this message. Just thought I would drop me and say gday to everyone and see if we can get to know each other. I'm Darren from Adelaide who is a fairly new brewer although getting more of an idea everytime. Done in total probably 15 brews or...
