    FULL 3v all grain setup - going very cheap, ex brewery

    I'm making way for more tanks at the brewery, so I'm selling my pilot setup. It punches out 50L batches flawlessly. This 3 vessel setup was used for maybe 6 years prior to me opening my brewery, then another 2 years doing pilot batches on site. It even brewed our medal winning NEIPA at last...

    WTB - Spiral or mongolian burner + stand (Melb)

    As the title says, I'm looking for another burner for use with my kettle (going from a 2v AG to 3v). Anybody have anything they're looking to offload? If I can't find anything second hand I might have to hook up one of the Italian spirals from Keg king. Cheers.

    Splitting a batch, fermenting half and cubing the other

    So I'm making a Landlord tomorrow and I've got a question regarding the no-chill method. I'm making a 40L batch, and my plan is to ferment 23L with the recommended yeast, and then transfer the remaining 17L into my cube to no-chill and ferment at a later date (maybe a week or two later). So as...

    Melb: FREE fridge

    Hey guys, since I've found an all fridge to replace my old fermentation fridge, the old guy is now up for grabs. Its a fridge/freezer with the fridge up top. It fits a 60l fermenter perfectly with no airlock however (glad wrap does the job). unfortunately the freezer section is unuseable...

    What gear would you buy from the US?

    My girlfriend is heading to the US, specifically LA for a month over Oct/Nov. I'm thinking about getting some brewing gear sent to her over there and she can bring it back home for me. I'm such a good BF. So my question to you is, what would you buy given the same opportunity?? Obviously it...

    WTB all fridge/freezer

    Hey guys, I'm getting a little annoyed at only being able to ferment one batch at a time. I always seem to polish off the keg(s) well before the next batch is ready to drink, how about that? So I'm looking for a cheap upright freezer or all fridge, anything that can fit 2 30L fermenters. I'm...

    Kegs not carbonating with kegerator

    Hey guys, Last Saturday (8 days ago), I placed two 19L corny kegs in my kegerator. Hooked them both up to the gas which was set at 12psi (serving pressure), and let them sit in the fridge at around 3c. Went for a test pour today and the beer on one keg seems to have little to no carbonation at...

    Not enough yeast added?

    Hey guys, on Saturday I put down my first double batch AG brew. It was Tony's bright ale clone, and as this was my first double batch I stupidly forgot to purchase 2 lots of US05. I added the single packet to about 38 L of wort. Do you think I'll run into any problems having added only the one...

    Gas leak somewhere with new kegerator

    Hey fellas, Got myself a keg king kegerator for Xmas last year, and it's almost time to keg a brew for the first time, I'm actually planning on doing it tonight. After setting up the kegerator a few days ago and testing for leaks, I've discovered a small one, where exactly I'm not sure. What...

    Disconnects won't fit on ball lock kegs

    Hey guys, just trying to get my keg setup finally going, but I'm having trouble getting the disconnects on the posts. I was trying it out this morning, and I've established which post is the beer out post and which is the gas in post, but neither of them seem to fit on. This is the case with...

    Wanted: Kegerator/keezer [melb]

    Thought I'd try my luck here. I've been umming and arrrring about purchasing either some type of pre-built kegerator or making my own keezer. After many long nights researching and comparing costs and realising I have no tools or space to build my own, I've decided I'd rather get a pre-built...

    Commercial Brewery Recipes And Legalities

    Hey all, So this has been on my mind for a while, and I can't seem to find any answers. I've always wondered, what makes a particular recipe belong to a brewery? By that I mean what's stopping Joe Blogs from finding out a recipe (Let's say Mountain Goat Steam Ale for example), brewing it under...

    Pre-boil Volume Too High And Gravity Too Low?

    I've had another problem with my volumes and gravity. Last time I thought it was down to my beersmith inputs, and I think I made have made the same mistake somehow. I brewed the 'fatter Yak' recipe from the DB here yesterday, and again my numbers were off. I was aiming for a Pre-boil volume of...

    Fermentation Overflow (with Wyeast 3944)

    Hey, after dropping in my Wyeast 3944 smackpack on monday (no starter), and checking on Tuesday (With no activity) it is no Friday and I went to have a look at my beer. Unfortunately it's overflowed through the airlock and the lid, and the worst part is in smells pretty bad. Like sulphur...

Trying to put together a 25L batch but I'm having issues. I just went through my recipe on beersmith and I realised with this particular recipe...

    Beersmith Question

    Hey all, My last brew was dr smurtos golden ale, and the doc was kind enough to make me a beersmith file to match my equipment setup (2x 70L pots - mash and kettle) so everything was a breeze. I don't have the recipe handy but for a 25L batch the total water needed was around 45L. This Monday I...

    Looking Into A Keg Fridge/freezer Setup

    After going through the 'show us your keg setups' thread, I'm a little bit depressed. I want a keg system. I'm only 1 AG brew deep but I tend to get my mind set on things pretty quickly, and now I think I need a decent keg system. Just the thought of washing all those bottles and brewing again...

    First Wit Beer Attempt - Thoughts?

    Hey all, after a very very successful first AG batch (of Dr Smurto's Golden Ale), I'm up for trying something a bit different. With summer coming up I thought I'd have a crack at a Wit beer. I've basically gone with something very basic, using a BeerSmith recipe. I've contacted Grain and Grape...

    Just Bottled - Very Sweet Tasting?

    Hey all, just following on from another thread I made regarding bulk priming and bottling temperatures. I bottled tonight, bulk primed, with a priming solution with the calculated amount of 124g dextrose, for my 24L brew, aiming for 2.2 vol CO2. I bottled at around 10 deg as I had just finished...
