Cubed an English IPA on the 12th September 2013. Renovations ment brewing was put on the back burner for a few months. There is no swelling, so Im pitching a couple of packets of S 04 at it today. Fingers crossed it comes through. Its the longest cube Ive fermented. Good to get the brewing gear...

I've read with interest people having success entering beers they acknowledge are well outside of the style guidelines accepted for the style they entered their beer in. Examples being ale yeast in a lager and OG's / FG's well outside of style. Is this accepted, or poor form? Opinions welcome.

Had a phone call today. It went along these lines, "a mate was telling me his father passed away a few months ago and he has a heap of brewing gear. I told him I know a bloke who brews and he offered it all to be passed on to you." Next minute there are 72, 500ml old school Grolsch bottles and...

Wondering what other forums people like to visit and participate in ? Brewing or any other topic. This is the only forum I use. I'm looking for a good home renovation forum though.

If I have a pot that is a cylinder, how do I work out the volume of water inside based on height? ie 43cm diameter means 1L will be ?? deep in the pot. 10L would be ?? deep in the pot etc. I'm sick of measuring out 38 litres using a 2L jug and would like to just be able to measure a mark to...

What's got you interested? Thanks to State of Origin and a few byes this week, Fox Sports 1 has the reserve grade Bears, under 20's Rabbits and NRL Rabbitohs back to back this arvo. As a die hard Rabbitohs fan, nothing short of nuclear fall out, more beer or more food is getting me off the couch!

If anyone has upgraded or has a set of these lying around I would be very happy to purchase them from you.

The swing top seals on my Grolsch bottles are starting to take to the shape of the closed swing top and have compressed where they should seal instead of flexing back to flat like when I first started using them. Though they haven't perished. I've noticed one bottle and now two bottles have not...

I'm bottling an APA that has been cold conditioned at 4 degrees C for the past week. Fermentation temperature was 18 degrees C. There is 23L to be bottled. I have a desired carbonation level of 2.5 volumes of CO2. A search of the forums has shown suggestions bulk priming amounts should be...

Thinking of going to the cricket and wondering how I am going to smuggle in enough beer to see my mates and I through the day... Best idea I have had so far is empty 'like new' still labelled 2 litre Coke Bottles bottled with a Porter and sealed with new lids that include the twist off seal...

I thought I would take this opportunity to encourage some new brewers like I to try yeast harvesting. I have read a lot from the more experienced brewers about using liquid yeast and harvesting yeast from commercial brews. Normally yeast harvesting is used by experienced brewers to allow the...

Anyone tried one of these yet ??? I've had a couple. They're going down well. I think you can only get them from Dan's though.

Ok . Im no home brew whiz kid. I have only just started in home brewing. I really know sweet F.A about home brewing. BUT... I'm going to blow my own whistle a little bit here! When I first got into home brewing I NEVER expected to brew a drop this good and honestly DID NOT expect to brew a beer...

Visitors recently came around for dinner.... they drank all me home brew :party: :beerbang: :super: and left their six pack of crown lager :icon_vomit: The question is what to do with the crown lager?

I was thinking today about the concept of light affecting beer flavour, if that beer is exposed to light throughout fermenting and conditioning. I know my beer stays in the dark untill the day it goes in the fridge. (Thats generally what I have read is the best for the beer.) But that got me...
