Just finished a wiring diagram for a simple BIAB type controller. I've tried to include additional breakers for fault isolation and equipment protection. Would appreciate some feedback from users who've undertaken similar builds, before I start ordering the various parts. Troll Disclaimer: A...

Hey all, noticed there seems to be numerous builds across the forum. Keen to undertake a build myself, however it seems that the Electric Brewery set the shipping rate artificially high to discourage O/S buyers. What've other people done -- freight forwarding?

Negative pressure pulled a dead vinegar/fruit fly into my fermenting wort, out of an airlock with Star San in it. Yeast was only pitched around 20 hours ago and fermentation has just started - anyone keen to place wagers on what might ensue?

Seems that I can rarely crack the sub 1.010 SG mark - even if I use adjuncts. Most of the time my OG is 1.045 give or take a few points. This usually correlates in the mid 70's attenuation wise for yeast strains like Nottingham, US05, 34/70 (irrespective of hydration). However I really want my...

So cooked up 0.5 kg of rice in 3-4 volumes of water and 200g of wheat malt for 30 mins or so. The rice still had it's structure at the end of this, and the whole lot when into a step mash 62-72-78C (45 min, 20 min and 10 min respectively). After the main mash there was still rice left, which...

Looking to have some kegs cut but also 1/2" BSP's welded for a 3V system. Anyone skilled in the art who could offer their services, or perhaps refer me to a business specialising in this sort of thing in Melbourne, Vic? Cheers.

Previously dabbled with cartridge filters, however I've been underwhelmed to date with the clarity they produce. So, I shelled out and purchased a More Beer! plate filter supplied by Grain and Grape...

Has anyone noticed that their beer picks up a taint between pours (no less than 1 h)? I've contacted KK and they are adamant that all parts are either ABS or 304 (food safe, albeit in this case sourced and manufactured in China). Whilst I have every reason to believe the good people at KK, this...

I've used this yeast a few times, however recently tried re-packaged yeast from Keg King which comes in a 15g package Pitched into well oxygenated wort (1.044), cooled to 18C and allowed to free rise to 22C. Fermentation was done in approx. 3 days (1.012 final), however this beer has a...

Following ASBC method for determination of bitterness in Wort via UV/VIS, I set about comparing calculated to observed bitterness. The brew itself was 23.5L batch of Altbier (OG =1.045), brewed on a Braumeister, with two hop additions of German Spalt (aa 5.9%). My version of BeerAlchemy can...

According to Fermentis, the number of viable cells at packaging is >6x109/g, or 69 billion cells per 11.5g pack (US-05). Their dosage rate suggests a range between 50-80g/hl. If we're conservative thats 65g/100L or 1/5th that for a standard 20L batch (13 g of dried yeast), bearing in mind...

Recently purchased a Blichmann therminator, and I've been somewhat surprised by the amount of additional bitterness I was perceiving in my beers, compared with using an immersion chiller. Measuring the bitterness using the ASBC International method with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer, on a beer...

I've been following the conversion of my mash with a 2% w/v solution of Lugol's iodine, and I'm amazed by how fast saccharification takes place. On my system, 20 minutes at 65C is negative by the starch-iodine test. Given that amylose has a turn for every six glucose residues, the wort at this...
