I am brewing an Australian Old style beer using Safale S-04 yeast. Brewing was as per normal. Here is my log: Day 7: Dry hopped. Tasted a sample of the beer and it was roasty. Day 14: Last check before trouble. Some small bubbles still rising in the fermenter, gravity 1.014, leaving it a few...

I am seeking to make (as close as possible) a Munich Dunkel, mahogany in colour, malty sweetness and moderately hopped, using kits, malt extract, extra hops and Fermentis yeast. I do not have facilities to mash, I can only steep grain and dry hop. What kits and malt extracts should one use to...

I'm looking to order from https://cheapyeast.com.au/ Has anyone ordered from this site and had any issues ?

I have read that some people think the Coopers European Lager kit comes with a lager yeast. I have a packet of it and it looks identical to the ale yeast packet (gold 7g sachet) supplied with the regular Coopers Dark Ale, Lager etc... kits. I am wanting to use the yeast as a proper lager yeast...

For those interested in a dark lager made on the cheap, here is my receipe that I made recently with a Coopers Lager kit and a Coopers Dark Ale kit. I was experimenting to see if these two beer kits could be combined and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Somewhat bitter, but goes well to...

I have an aging (~ 30 years old) 25L plastic fermenting pail. How often would you replace it with a new one, considering that plastic degrades over time ?

Hello fellow brewers, I have made numerous kit beers and one all grain brew thus far (German Alt Bier) and must say that I an hooked to all grain. I have 2 questions. 1) I'd like to brew something like a Grolsch style lager. Do you have a recipe or know of websites that I can read to find the...

Thought I'd like to share my excitement of having made my first all grain mash. I just just common kitchen equipment to see if it would work. If it works I will go ahead and invest in copper cooling tube, 50L kettle and 36L mash tun plus a 4 ring gas burner. It has just been bottled and the...

I will soon have a 50L S/S kettle (40cm diameter and 40cm height) and will be buying some copper tubing from a plumbing store to cool the wort. Question (1) I have the option of 10mm or 12mm diamter tubing. I am thinking to get the 12mm as it would have more surface area, hence better cooling...

I have done a partial mash and now want to go full mash. For this, I need to purchase some equipment. For the boiler, I need some tips from you all grain brewers. I have decided that aluminium is out and stainless steel (SS) is the way to go. I have looked at the SS pots in BigW, Kmart and the...
