hey all, so i just made a mangrove jack’s packet cider and am about to keg it, and noticed it says to add the cider essence and then stir and leave for 24 hours. i’d rather not stir up the fermented cider and yeast and wondered whether this essence could just be added to the keg and then rack...

hey all, so i've been an insulin dependent diabetic since the age of 5 (now 38) and today had an insulin pump fitted. it's fantastic. life-changing already. just got me thinking, are there any other type 1 diabetics on this forum? any issues with your brewing or drinking? i'll happily admit i...

hey guys. the mrs surprised me with a weekend away on the sunshine coast (yaroomba) and thought we’d check out a brewery while here. what’s the best one to visit with a 2 year old?

hey guys. am "selling" this Westinghouse bar fridge for the cost of a few of your finest or a 6-pack of something decent. as you can see from the pictures it doesn't have the shelving or inner freezer door as it was being used as a ferment fridge using 20L jerry cans. working beautifully -...

moved up from sydney - check. got a new job - check. bought and moved into a new house - check. most furniture and other setup crap getting sorted - check. finally about to get back into brewing again! i'm considering a few options for filtration of my water for kitchen/drinking AND brewing...

hi guys, I've found that when adding gelatine to my fermenter (a 23L jerry can), I'm not getting much clarity from it. because my jerry has a small hole in the corner top, it's not like regular round-topped fermenters where the gelatine can really spread over the entirety of the beer. I'm...

Hi guys, In the options, I often use the guidelines from the BJCP 2015 for my beers, but also use the AABC 2010. Is there any way of selecting just those 2, rather than each individually, or all of them which includes the old BJCP and FADOL ones? ie, can those last ones be deleted without...

hey legends. i've just started dabbling in water adjustment and was wondering if any of you who also do, keep using yeast nutrient in your boil? i had a look at the one i've been using, and just want to know if it will alter the profile (too much magnesium sulphate for example) - particularly...

hey guys. i've not made many beers with this yeast, but decided to try lagers a few months back and have given one in particular a good 8 weeks in the bottle to hopefully allow it time to condition. a few points: 1. it's a simple beer with pilsner malt, and wakatu hops to 23ibu 2. pitched 2 x...

hi guys. i was very lucky to get a grainfather for christmas and so a new world of mash temps have opened up to me, that previously were annoying to do with biab and gas. i've looked here and at a lot of websites and guides for specific temperatures and rests and what they are used for, but...

hey guys, haven't bottle carbonated beers in a while and just needed some info. so i bottled a beer about 3-4 days ago and they've been sitting in ambient temp in the house since. the temps in sydney have been quite hot (above 20C and the last few days over 30C). just wondering, as they're in...

hey guys, starting to get a bit bummed. i've currently got a german wheat and a simple blonde ale in the kegerator, and both have been sitting there at 12psi for about 3-4 weeks. the wheat tastes great but the blonde ale (simple recipe - pale ale, and a bit of crystal, and tettnang to 22 ibu...

i've made a very light summery beer and two days ago, it was tasting amazing. no off flavours and super clean. literally within 2 days it's taken a detour and i feel as though there is an ever so slight hint of butter. how quickly does diacetyl kick in if it's the culprit? the recipe was...

i've read plenty of posts about people making their own voile brew bags, or not making a bag at all and buying a huge sheet, and i want in. all the bags i've seen are made of the flimsiest material that is lucky to survive one brew. i picked one up the other day, it caught on a tiny corner of my...

tried to do a search but it's a bit confusing from the app. anyone done it or it is too much of an issue with border security regarding hops being a plant etc? wouldn't be more than 1 to 2 oz bags if so.

ok, so i had an ESB that i thought might benefit from some hallertau. mainl because it had been sitting there forever and i wanted to get rid of it. 30gms. the beer is all EKG in the boil. i lost 10L of it in a leaky cube so only fermented 10L but then completely forgot to lower the dry hop to...
