HI, I have a question about carbonating a newly acquired 9.5L corny keg. I have been using 19L corny's with my keg set up and force carbonating at 230kpa for about 30 hours. The beers have had good carbonation with that method. I'm just not sure how long a should carb the 9.5L keg for. Common...

Hey All, I thought I'd get the ball rolling on a 2013 Hop Plantation Thread. A couple of weeks ago I prepped my hop garden for the upcoming season. Basically, I threw a bit of cow poo in the garden and mulched with sugar cane. Last night, after work, I checked on the hop plants and they're...

Hi Guys, Last week I acquired a new fridge to turn into a kegerator. It is a Westinghouse Silhouette 442 Fridge/Frezzer. It fits four cornies nicely without any modification and there is a bit of room left over for bottled beer etc. Since my last kegerator was an upside fridge, I didn't have...

I just saw this article on the late news. Italians have invented spreadable beer. Breakfast beer anyone? http://italychronicles.com/spread-beer-on-your-toast/

Hello brewers, I haven't brewed for a while but haven't resisted the urge to purchase hops every chance I get. I planning on putting this down next weekend. I'm looking for a good amount of hop flavor/aroma with a malty backbone. I've only used Galaxy before so I don't have experience using...

Hey Guys, I've been reading about everybody's brew rigs (Matho, QLDKev, Trauman etc) and have been inspired by them all. So much so that for the last couple of months I have been acquiring all the bits and pieces to build my own brew rig. I'm hoping the end product will be something similar to...

Hi All, I recently got my keg dispensing set up out of retirement. While I wasn't using the taps I left them in starsan. I did this for a couple of months :huh: Now the chrome on the taps is coming of and the brass is looking fairly discolored. Will it cause any health problems using the...

Hi All, I've been working on a recipe for a pale ale that will produce a beer with a big hop flavor/aroma. Something along the lines of SNPA in hoppiness but I'm not looking to brew a SNPA clone as such. Most of my beers to date have turned out quite drinkable but have lacked the hop favor you...

Hi AHBers, I have been studying up on building my own eBIAB system for a while now. I will reuse most of my current biab gear and add a couple of elements and control box. I'm doing double batches in a 72l pot and can squeeze out around 42 liters into the fermenter with a small batch sparge. I...

Hi All, I hope some of you can help me out with whats going on with my fermentation. This is my fist time using a fermenting freezer and for the first 6 or 7 days of the ferment I was regulating the temp with frozen water bottles and turning the freezer on manually to keep the temp at 18c...

Hi All, Well, I'm probably up to my 10th batch or so since I started seriously getting into home brewing a few months ago. I started with a couple of K&K's and have been doing Extract and Partials since. I have been getting the gear together to set up for AG (BAIB) and have just about...

Hi, I'm setting up my brew rig for BIAB brewing. I have my 70L pot and everything else I need to start double/triple batches for the cornies. I have been looking at gas burners to boil the brew. I was looking at a Rambo/Bromic 4 ring burner but have been reading that they may take a while to...

Hi All, I got the kegerator up and running this afternoon. Gotta give a big thanks to all on this forum that have posted their kega setups as you've been a wealth of info and given me the know-how to get this set up together. Inside the fridge. There is room for another few kegs once I...

Hi All, I moving towards AG brewing and I'm setting myself up with the necessary equipment. I saw this 'Corona Style' grain mill on eBay and the price looks pretty good. I'll take my chances with the quality of the product but I would like to know if this style of mill does a good job of...

Greetings Y'all, I really want to make a beer with rice syrup. I have made a few cans with BE1 & BE2 etc. Then a tried my hand at a couple of can/partials with added hops. For my next adventure in beer I am looking to try something different (For Me). Here is the recipe. Looking at making an...
