    Smoker Options - Help?

    Hi All, I'm pretty keen to get some smoker action going. I have a small one, but it's not good for heat control etc. What I do have, however is a built in, hood type BBQ which lies dormant as I use my Webber Silver-C for our BBQ'ing duties. Any ideas to convert the built in BBQ to a smoker...

    Coopers Yeast From Pale Ale

    Guys, need a definitive answer if possible - is the yeast recultureed from Coopers Pale Ale the same strain used in the primary fermentation or is it a bottling strain? Cheers - Mike

    Stadium Beer Line Capacity

    So a workmate and I are having a discussion about beer & stadiums. He recalls seeing somewhere that the ANZ stadium in Sydney (Olympic Stad) required 40 kegs to merely fill the line capacity around the stadium. This works out at roughly 100km of 5mm ID line... This means 2000l to fill the...

    I Think I've Killed My Reg...

    Hmm, after 4 years I had a beer attack on my Harris 601. It's flooded, although only a very small amount of fluid in the dials etc. What are my options - can I pull apart and clean or is it stuffed? If I apply Co2 pressure right now it just bleeds via the bleed valve! Help? Yes, searched but...

    Stored Wort (no Chilled Ag) - 14months

    JUst a quick one - I no-chilled a batch of double choc stout to a 17L cube around 14-15 months ago. Stored in the garage, in a darkish and reasonably cool environment, cracked it this morning and gave it some yeast. Smelled amazingly good, fresh as - no difference between it and a 2-3 day...

    Grrrr - Caramunich

    Did it again. Made recipe, went to Daves in Nth Sydney (people lined up pretty much out the shop today, he needs more staff and more shop space - great to see!), to purchase the specialty malts. I have 1kg of cascade flowers to use, so APA on the cards. Also have 25kg of Marris Otter in the...

    Ageing A Belgian - Keg Or Bottle

    Hi All, The Auld Puku '55 Belgium has finished fermenting. It's an OG1096 Trappist, which tastes and smells very good! I have dumped it into a corney, as my bottles weren't ready to rock and needed to get it off the yeast cake. I read somewhere that ageing in a larger volume is better for...

    A Belgian To Mature....

    So my Dad's birthday is this weekend and he's coming over from NZ to spend Christmas with us. I thought I'd spend time on the weekend and brew him a special beer, bottle it and mature it for 5 months or so. When he gets here, we can drink some of them and store some more etc. I really like...

    Woo Hoo! 79.8% Efficiency

    I never really bothered with efficiency checking or working it out. Always go by the fact that 1kg of grain is really cheap, so why try and eak the last 10% out of it. Anyway.... I changed my setup from BIAB to a traditional 3 tier system about 5 brews ago. This was mainly to facilitate...

    Anyone Foermented In 20l Willow Containers?

    The Domestic Godess recently stood on the tap of one of my fermenters as it was sitting on the floor awaiting cleaning. Result is one dead fermenter. I have a few 17L cubes of NC wort waiting to ferment. I have just blown dry on my house APA and need to ferment. I can't see any issue in...

    Late Hop Additions With Fuggles

    Double batched the following: 80% Ale 18% Wheat 2% Choc Malt Bittered with fuggles and did 60min, 20min, 10min and 5min addition to about 25IBU. It's a weird flavour, not unpleasent but strange. The fuggles gives a really earthy / herby sort of flavour, with the aroma dominated by a small...

    Stoked! New Mash Tun = Success

    I had been struggling with mash tuns since I started AG some 2.5 years ago. Started with a braid in a round cooler, that sucked and stuck. Changed it for a larger, self contained braid and a better valve - still not good. Changed the container etc and nothing seemed to work - it ran off...
