Oooh ooh oooh pick me pick me

This is exactly what I need to stop the chickens eating anything I plant!

Exactly what I need for measuring my hops! Thanks Inkbird!

Hey. I might have something for you. I’ve just upgraded and haven’t even thought about moving the old one on yet. Unfortunately I am not inner city. About an hour out.

There's no disadvantages at 16c except it will take a little longer than if you fermented it slightly warmer at say 18-20c. Your hydrometer will let you know when it's finished. Different yeasts work at different temperatures and if you're just using the coopers yeast that comes with the tin...

another bump. If you want 10% of your tins get in this weekend with the below voucher... http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/74568/26104/big_w_family_friends_sale.pdf

So I steep the grains in 2L of water for 30 minutes then strain into a big pot. I then rinse the grain with another 2L of 65 degree-ish water. That gives me 4L. I then add another 2L giving me a total of 6L. I only have a 8-9L pot so that's why I go with a 6L boil. Using IanH's spreadsheet, a 6L...

I'd just use your 10L pot. That's all I do. Use your grain liquid and top up to 6L. Put a little less than half the wheat malt tin and bring to the boil. Do your 15 minute and 5 minute additions, dump the rest of the wheat tin in then cool the pot down in a sink with plenty of ice blocks. Mix it...

Hey mate, I've got 2 and a dispenser i'll probably part with.

I always go 18. the slightly cooler temperature also helps to slow the 'volcanic' fermentation usually seen with these brews.

Also spotted these Oktoberfest deals on ozbargain this morning. Starting the 20th.

I've made the stout/dark/dex recipe a couple of times. It turns out pretty good IMO. I asked the question on here once about using DME in place of the dex and a few people commented that the dex would help fermentation as it would introduce some simple sugars for the yeast to get through. It was...

Not sure the pump action bottle (sunscreen bottle maybe) would hold pressure...or is that where you store your metho/water mix for easy application? Apply yourself to reapply!

Welcome! For a straight kits and bits like you have just made I do the following: 1. put the dry ingredients straight into the fermenter. 2. add a kettle full of boiling water (around 2L). 3. pick up the fermenter and give it a good swirl for 30-60 seconds to dissolve everything. 4. add the tin...

I went to Keg King on Saturday. They are fresh out of second hand ball lock kegs. They don't expect any in the next month or two. Apparently they cant find any!

Although I know nothing on the topic, have you checked your BU:GU ratio. (I think that's what its called). Something to do with the gravity to bitterness ratio? Maybe your balance is out of wack?

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/158862 The ozbargainers spotted this. Apparently the dan murphys free shipping codes work on the tins (however usually doesn't work on beer or RTDs).

I was using the push-in type from keg king until I got a manifold with built in check valves. I wouldn't recommend them. Go with the barbed type.

Sound like you need to invest in a few more kegs!
