Any word on the nitrogen front...

@KegLand-com-au I have your kegerator (working like a charm for 1 and a half years), just starting to notice issues with the evabarrier and duotight on 2 lines starting to leak and both within weeks of each other. Basically it's an issue of any little bit of sideward or updown pressure and it...

Me too :)

Torrefied wheat, 125g - 250g in a 20 litres of wort is plenty (and cheap). "Torrefied Wheat consists of grains of soft wheat varieties that have been cooked at high temperature resulting in gelatinisation of the starchy endosperm. Addition of Torrefied Wheat will promote head retention and add...

Good luck with your endeavour byrnesy50, sounds like fun. Maybe it's worth enquiring about systems like a Speidel Braumeister. They do have a 200 Litre version. The 20 Litre version is $2,500. The 30 Litre version is $3,500 So the 200 Litre version is only going to cost a fraction of the...

Hi Matt, I've been in touch with Mattbivi (check his post above) on this, he's interested as well. You have the option of laying down a brew yourself or being a fly on the wall. I'll send a pm with my contact details.

Hi mattbivi, I'll pm my contact details. With the wort, a more straightforward proposition is to do a wort each on brewday, if going to the effort of brewing, you'd want beer as a result. can swap a few brews after their bottled.

Hi Manticle, I'll take a chance on the brewing buddy scenario, maybe it goes sour but more likely it will go sweetly. In life I've found that most people are decent enough, so I don't think that it's that big a deal. I have been to Melbourne Brewers before (did mention them as a bunch of top...

Hi Edak, Second brew and wanting to move beyond kits? Go for it, you won't look back. Just like walking into a bakery shortly after they've been baking smells so good, hot wort sends a delicious smell right through the house. You'll find to your satisfaction that brewing is thirsty work...

Maybe, if they turn out to be good brewers :icon_chickcheers: I was thinking that I'd achieve 2 things. 1. At the moment I "get around" to doing a brew whereas I would set brew day aside as a religious requirement with a brewing buddy. 2. Helps someone take the plunge from kit to A/G...

I've recently bought a crown urn and am doing BIAB. A brewing buddy wouldn't go astray... Much as I love drinking beer and experimenting, I'm not always timely in laying brews down and so my stocks diminish :( I also figure, that if twice as many brews get laid down, it allows for more...

Oztops, agreed. The reason why... You can buy your apple juice in 3 litre bottles (9 liters is close to a slab of beer), you have 3 pressure caps in a pack. The yeast supplied is good for the job... So, for low cost as well as really low effort, you dip your toe in the water - but your...

Instead of adding the sugar to the beer, add the beer to to the sugar... I had the same issue, resolved by putting my priming sugar into all the bottles and then filling with beer.

Thanks for the links Felten, I've had a quick look, I'll go through it in ernest later today. The minister for home affairs has me busy for most of the sunlight hours this weekend, the sun is out and the lawns and other fun gardening stuff calls (apparently). Though I'm sure it will be...

Hi People, My first brew, I would appreciate feedback so I can learn. I grabbed a crown urn a bag/ingredients and then used a bock recipe from promash. My sg was 1.055, when promash indicated 1.066 Ingredients 500g Joe White Crystal Malt 250g Bestlmaltz Melladoinin 1500g Weyermann Munich...
