    Should I Be Concerned?

    Hey, So with my guitar-infused mashing technique completed, I boiled away and added the hops accordingly following Dr Smurto's Golden Ale recipe and it was smelling and tasting as it should - 60min mash between 64'c and 66'c roughly followed by 60-70min boil, chilled with immersion chiller to...

    Experimental Mashing Technique - Needs Further Testing!

    So I can can count the number of AG brews I've done without taking my shoes off but I'm thinking I may have accidentally discovered a magnificent mashing technique which may help or harm almost ANY brewer... Firstly, my setup is not all that amazing and is a hand-me-down version of a...

    Any Issues Spliting 22l Between 2 X 19l Kegs ?

    Hi all :) Does anybody see any potential problems or issues splitting my batch of beer (works out to about 22L-ish) between 2 kegs, carbing them and drinking them quickly? The reason I intend to do this is simple: my batch has been fermenting away quite happily in the corner including the...

    Simmerstat, Are They Good To Use Or Not?

    I've managed to acquire one of these which is rigged up in a little control box with the leads. I opened it up to see what it actually was and the knob is controlling a simmerstat. I just bought a 2200W element and am in the process of rigging it up to give me a boiler and was wondering...

    Shred's (almost) Nil-cost Brewery

    Well I'm almost there... But first, a little back story to put this in perspective.... I started (several years ago) with the gift of a standard Brigalow starter kit (fermenter, hydro etc etc) and learned how to make pretty awful tasting alcoholic mop water. Leaving it in the bottles for a...

    Some Kegging Questions

    Hello! Yes, I have read HEAPS about kegging systems and many different variations and opinions. I'm pretty sure I've got enough info to give it a crack and hope for the best. This past weekend I managed to pick up an absolute bargain Keg fridge where the bloke who owned it seems to have...

    What Do You Do With Your Used Grains After Mashing?

    I'm starting to get a setup organised to start BIAB but SWMBO is wanting to know what to do with the spent grains. I would probably just bin them but it got me thinking about what else they can be good for (if anything). Anybody got any creative uses for it? I told her that I would be brewing...

    Getting Back Into Brewing, A Few Questions...

    Hi, I'm the new guy here :) I used to regularly make homebrew (a can and a kilo method) for a fair while but have not done anything for the past couple of years since a spate of really bad tasting brews. I've done some reading on how to make some nice beer and am going to fire it all up, clean...
