    CCP Technologies temperature monitoring and recording.

    Has anyone on here used these yet? I hear Capital Brewing had them installed recently also. From what i read very user friendly, accurate and reasonably priced.

    I couple of months ago I decided to give the 1272 a go in a few American Ales as a substitute for both US-05 and the 1056 but with both batches that I have brewed have are still cloudy over a month later. My process was completely identical to my old recipes which turned out 100% clear after 1-2...

    Tasmanian Oak Mash Paddle

    I have recently made my own mash paddle and used Tasmanian oak which I purchased from Bunnings. I asked them when buying it whether it has been treated with anything and they didn't have a certain answer and I was just wondering if it is fine to use?

    Wyeast 1084 ? ?

    I am having another go at making an Irish Dry Stout the 1st one turned out ok but took a couple of months to have any head what so ever and for some reason during fermentation there is no real krausen and just seems to fizz instead. Is this recipe adequate for a decent head retention? 21L...

    Jomack Urn....

    I have been using a Jomack 20L urn as my HLT for a while now and has decided to shit itself. I have replaced the power lead as it seemed faulty, but has not resolved the problem. I am guessing it can only really be the simmerstat or the element, does any one have an idea as to which one is more...

    Badly Stored Dry Yeast And Yeast Starter

    I am looking at making a nice German lager and have all the ingredients but yeast and cant justify making an order from Grain and Grape at the moment. The local HBS is pretty much just an open shed and has all their yeast sitting out in the open and wouldn't be surprised if it is the same stuff...

    Cellar Mix

    There is a local pub (O'maille's Pub) in which serves a couple of James squire varieties and a have been to many pubs in which with my first taste of their beer you know that they use cellar mix and is quite off putting as I find that it some how ruins hop flavour and creates unwanted creaminess...

    Refractometers

    I have yet again broken my hydrometer and am considering getting a refractometer instead. I have a few questions: Are they very fragile if dropped? How long do they generally last for? and What one would you suggest I get?

    Re Pitching Yeast

    I have saved my yeast from my fermenter as usual but plan on using it within around 3 -4 days of collecting it and seem to have a fairly large amount of viable yeast in the flask. Do I need to create a starter with it or should it be right to just re pitch?

    Do You Filter?

    I purchased a filter ages ago and never worried about using it until now but after using it found that it filters out all the flavours that I enjoy. I now don't see the point of filtering again. Does anyone else on here filter?

    Vic Brew Guidelines

    I am looking at entering a vicbrew comp just for the sake of it and have brewed the ale that I am looking at entering, but the FG seems to be a little over the guidelines... Will they test the SG and will it possibly disqualify my entry? ( seeing that I will be travelling 3 hours to enter)

Can any one suggest any taps or give...
