I recently purchased a KK gas 2 way manifold and hooked it up to my 2 kegs. One side seems to be working perfectly but the other is making a weird humming sound when in the on (12 o'clock, I assume that 9 and 3 o'clock are off) position. I felt the gas line and it is vibrating also...? Has...

I have recently bought a new Keg King 19L corny keg. I am having trouble with a leak that seems to come from between the beer out disconnect and the post. I have 2 kegs in my fridge and both of them use a coupler that mounts a tap directly to a disconnect. I assumed after seeing my first...

I have only just recently made the switch to kegging and I love it! Last night I wanted to use the Craftbrewer carbonator cap to counter pressure fill a PET bottle. I made up a jumper hose with 4mm line and two liquid diconnects, it worked a charm :) Problem is, the line is full of beer that...

Hi fellas, I'm getting ready for my first brew day in nearly a year and a half (back injury put a sharp halt to brewing for a while... that's another story all together!) I have a few kilos of hops in the freezer but I'm a little worried that they might be lacking in the freshness department...

Hey guys, I'm working on a plan for a 120L system and I'm really not sure which way to go... I'm currently a single batch electric BIAB brewer so I've never really had to think about the mechanics of my equipment that much so far. I'm considering this setup so far... HLT -...

Hi guys, I was so looking forward to a good brew day today, the last chance for a long time due to work commitments and moving house in a few weeks. Turned on the power and BOOM! So, I'm now looking for a solution to brew today. Anyone know somewhere in Hobart where I could get a...

Hey there, Brewed a Russian Imperial Stout the other day and I'm noticing some interesting things.. New Recipe Russian Imperial Stout Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 23.0 Total Grain (kg): 10.900 Total Hops (g): 170.00 Original Gravity (OG)...

Hi guys, I'm working on a recipe for a Saison using Wyeast 3711. I'm looking to head down the track of a Saison Sauvin type high gravity new world hop type of Saison, but I have a few questions... Ferment temp? I'm looking to keep the funk in check but hoping for a lemon peppery dry citrus...

Hello all, I like to re-hydrate my yeast before pitching for optimal health but have been thinking about the best way to do it. I currently stick to the Fermentis instructions: To achieve the correct temperature, ahead of time I boil some water and pour it into a sanitized glass jar to cool...

Hello, I am using an electric element in a 50L stock pot for basic BIAB. I am looking at adding some extra power to speed up heating to strike and improve my boil. I am considering using one of these: http://www.appliancesdirectonline.com.au/v...plate-khp1.html The idea is to sit the kettle...

Good morning people, I have been looking around for some higher capacity scales (mine only go to 3KG) to make it quicker when weighing my grain bill. I found this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DIGITAL-KITCHEN...=item3a6f076d28 I'm also without a sight glass on my kettle and really would...

Hi, I have just brewed a S&W style galaxy ale and had problems syphoning at the end of my whirlpool. This resulted in tonnes of trub in my cube and 3-4L of recoverable wort that I am planning on filtering from the trub left in the kettle. I used a hop sock (I used flowers today) and added my...

Hi guys, I brewed a Munich Dunkel last week and pitched a very active 3L starter (active until I chilled in the fridge to decant) of Wyeast Bohemian yeast over 48 hours ago. The beer hasn't taken off yet and I'm worried... I pitched at 10C and took a sample this morning to find that it has...

Hi guys, I'm bottling a black IPA tonight and I am using Sinamar for the first time. Here is a product description: http://craftbrewer.com/shop/details.asp?PID=2996 Description says that it has an extract value of 40-45 Plato, will this affect my priming amount? Also, should I boil the...

Hi, I dry hopped 50gm of Citra to a Black IPA I've got going last night and decided to start crash chilling shortly after. 24 hours later I went to taste a sample and the tap has slowed down to a drip... The temp controller tells me it's only down to 3 so I figure it's "probably" not frozen at...

Hi guys, I'm currently fermenting my very first Weizenbock (AG From Brewing Classic Styles). 17C pitched from a decanted 2L starter I made from 20ml of washed WY3068 trub I harvested from my last brew, so it's fresh and the starter was good (as far as I could tell). From about 2 1/2 days from...

Hi guys, Anyone here tried this: http://www.beermachine.com/ Any thoughts?

Hi guys, I'm just about to make a starter for an english southern brown (the Brewing Classic Styles recipe) and I'm trying to decide on the yeast to use. I have 1028 London Ale (unsmacked) and a vial of 1469 to use. The recipe calls for 1968 London ESB so I'm thinking the 1469 will be...

Hi Guys, I've just pitched an American Amber ale with a predicted efficiency of 70% and a planned og of 1052. I somehow hit 1065! I suspect that in the past I have been getting major dough balls (that sounds like a nasty case of VD!) so this time I added the grain to the water in 5-6...
