Hi All, Friday (5 days ago) I made a 28L double batch and added 7L of cooled boiled water to each vessel. I was going to aerate the wort tonight, and pitch, yet upon inspection, I find that there is a layer of foam in each vessel. Recipe is a galaxy pale ale. Can I rectify this (eg add the...

Hi all, I have a 32jet mongolian burner that I am using with a 60l pot. I want to remove some jets, and plug others up in an attempt to reduce the amount of LPG I use. I've been to Auscrown, Bunnings, Masters and Reece Plumbing. At Reece they didn't have anything matching the thread used. I...

Hey all. Friday was a shit of a day, but slugged on through and got away to the olds for my sisters birthday. I got home Friday afternoon and I thought I'd check the fridge to see how my first lager was chugging along. Glad I did. Opened the shed door, and saw the readout of 28.6 on the STC...

Hey all. I recently scored a Princess Beer Tap and Cooler for a bit of a bargain on ebay. It's a great bit of kit and works pretty damned well. I do however have a little bit of a conundrum. Once tapped with one of these, I cannot replace the lid. I can leave the fridge running, but as you can...

Hey all, I'm putting together a Fat Yak (cascade only, KK didn't have any nelson sauvin) and I've set up a recirc as you can see in the pic. Problem I've encountered is that whilst jiggling the copper ring to sit underneath the grain (I have the holes pointing up) the bag slid into the yet to...

I put a brew together on Saturday and thought I'd have a go at insulating the pot as the weather was shockingly cold. I grabbed some old towels and a couple of occy straps and was going great guns for a 90min mash. I bumped on the gas about 45min in to ramp up the 2deg I lost and all was well...

I fully intended to get some hop socks from KK yesterday, but of course didn't write it down. Bought a thermometer, and almost bought a thermowell... So much for shopping lists. Anyway, I've had a chat with the Mrs and she suggested I actually use a sock. Not entirely a stupid idea, but I doubt...

Howdy, Should i be seeing bubbles with a 0.2 micron stone? It doesn't seem to be doing a helluva lot at the moment. Cheers, Brad
