I need to start by saying that I'm not affiliated to this brewery. I like to check out places that I visit and this is one area I've been to recently. That is all. I recently did the brewery tour and saw the spent cones of this brew...

I recently made another batch of my dark strong Belgian style ale. This is the fourth time I've made similar batches using the White Labs Abbey Ale yeasties. Everything was going along as normal until I made my first sugar addition, just as the ferment started to slow. It has now developed an...

In the interest of fair play, I'd like to see the real Williamswarn PB. In fact, I'd like others to see a sensible thread on the product when they do an online search. It's not that the other threads aren't good threads. It's that they all suffer from extreme bias. No real middle ground as such...

Hey Wobbly, Can you give us any information on the pressure control setup on the WW? I'm interested in what sort of regulator is used and how it's setup. Post edited by Moderator

Hi all, Is there an easy source for potential gravity that's in metric units? I've been getting silly figures from Beersmith and wanted to check a few things. Cheers.

Hi all, I've been playing around with a few fridges lately in an attempt to have cold beer on tap. No great feat in itself, but I'm pretty concerned about the actual cost of power for running an extra fridge in the garage. Tomorrow I have the option of acquiring a largish fridge freezer that...

Hi All, I've been doing a bit of searching on this subject and have yet to find any answers beyond shaking my keg or bottle before serving. Is there any other way to go about keeping the beer cloudy like the stuff I buy in a bottle. It sits for weeks and never drops clear like my creations do...

After days of back and forth over how to drill a couple of holes in an old fridge, I decided on the positions and got started with the first pilot hole. Phssssssssssssssssssssss. I only just nicked it but the fridge is toast. As soon as the pilot bit broke through the shell it caught the edge...

I thought I should share this ad I just read. Great description. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Complete-Beer-Keg-Fridge-Setup-Sydney-/141061703189?pt=AU_Breweriana&hash=item20d7eec615

This is just to stop myself and others clogging up the http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/71427-lion-introduces-tap-king-party-keg-growlers/page-25 thread with to many random offshoots. It also makes it easier for anyone using the search function in future. 25+ pages for the odd useful post is...

Just trying to get a keg system put together and was wondering if people had any helpful info to share. So far my findings are; - 19L pin locks are cheaper to buy at most places. Pro. - Most people have ball lock kegs which causes compatibility issues. Both pro and con. -Pin locks tend to come...

I received a call from a mate today, telling me that my homebrew was super strong. After a fair bit of checking I concluded that the brew would be around the 4.9-5.0 mark. Maybe he's just being a softy, or is the ABV listed on commercial beers a guarantee of minimum ABV, as opposed to a promise...

Hi all, Of late, I've been using a brown pump to run boiled wort through a CFC and it seems to struggle with cooling the deadspace in the pot. I haven't taken readings of the wort exiting the CFC, but the wort is around the 35-40c mark after one pass. A tepid bath, is the words I would use to...

After recently culturing up some Coopers Pilsner yeast, and pitching it into a a lager style batch, I have some really strong bannana tones. Admittedly, it is only a week in the bottle, so it's slightly under carbed and in need of some mellow time. The batch was fermented at around the 12-14...

Hi AHBs, After my first brew on a new rig I've been looking at the cheapest way to up the volume without buying bigger pots. Is it possible to just cut out the bottom of a second pot and just silicone them together? There are plenty of silicones available that are food grade and allow for...

Hi AHB's, I'm not sure if this is a problem or not and I suppose that's my question. Is going from 1.055 to 1.005 when beersmith predicts 1.010 a problem? Cheers Ross.

Hi AHBs, I managed to salvage some old maple shelving from a job the other day and figured it would make for some good quality storage crates. First the pics. Maple, dead straight and 370mm wide (1300mm long x 9 lengths). Yes that is a longneck not a stubbie. After a quick buzz with the...

Hi All, Just tried my hand at a small AG BIAB. Sierra nevada PA clone. It was an experience to say the least and the smells/flavours were freaking amazing. A quick thanks to Dave at Daves home brew shop on Miller street North Sydney. I run my own business so it's only fair to show appreciation...

Hi AHBers, This is my first post. Thankyou for all the info I've managed to glean so far. I did try to post a longer explanation of what I'm trying to do, but it didn't load and was lost. I have no intention of writing it again. The long of the short is.....I want minimum space used and I...
