So the wifes bugging me for a keg of cider. Even though its not for me I want to do the best job of it possible. Through some experience I now know how important it is to have the correct quantity of healthy yeast in beer, so I am assuming the same is true with cider. Does anyone have...

Hi, I am planning a couple of brews at average gravity (1050-1060) with WY1007 intending to ferment at 15 deg C. Can anyone recommend a pitching rate in Mcells/L/deg P? I have not been able to find a reliable reference that quotes a number. I am aware that beersmith has "Hybrid" value in its...

I have a problem that I have been chasing for over 9 months now. The beers I brew all taste normal through fermentation and to the point of moving kegs into the kegerator at which point it starts to develop the classic “green apple flavour”. The longer it stays in the kegerator the worse it...

I have a new stainless vessel I intend to use as a fermenter. Looking around I cannot find anything marketed as fermenter valves. I have seen plenty that are under the banner of HLT/MT/Kettle. Is it cool to use something like this? I am not really keen to do anything half arsed with it. I...

I am gutted to learn that Mark has been doing it tough and is on the verge of closing his doors. Last week he was out of base malt and did not know if he was going to order more. No dramas to be out of a certain type of yeast or fancy hop, but this is something else. Mark has provided such a...

I have nothing to do with either business but want to put in a plug these two. On Saturday I visited both and got a good deal out of each visit. Staring with the Commercial- they had a small, basic brew pub setup. The brewers name was Dave Allan, he was very friendly and very happy to share the...

So I built my kegerator out of a 90L freezer, cut half the foam out of the sides to fit in two kegs. It has far less insulation than the original freezer so I was concerned about ongoing energy costs. If it was going to cost several hundred a year I would have abandoned it for something...

Here are the details of my recent kegerator build. I ended up modifying a 90L bar freezer to fit 2 corny kegs. Having a single keg kegerator was not an option for me. What if one keg ran out half way through a session? It would be disaster. It also had to fit under my kitchen bench which really...

Hi all, I have a couple of questions regarding flooded fonts that I cannot seem to find answers to reading through this forum: 1- The fonts seem to be designed so as to ice up for visual effect (which I don't care less about). This would be a huge waste of energy if left running for any length...

Hello home brew community. I have been reading many of your posts including an old one by hamstringsally about large up-scaling batches and it has left me confused about some of the finer points. I thought it would be best to start a new thread to resume the discussion. Old post In this topic...
