    Still

    Hi all. I’m not a distiller but could someone let me know what roughly this still would be worth if I were to sell it? It looks like a lot of work has gone into it. Cheers

    Tried everything! Infection again!

    I've got a plastic fermenter thats got to be 20 years old, it's still in use and i've never had an infection. I use boiling water on everything and clean taps out each time. For stubborn stuff I use bleach sometime eg cubes.

    Maintaining sanitation on commercially packaged dry yeast

    Don't stress about it. My neighbour who is a wine maker gave me a 500g brick of Nottingham ale yeast 4-5 years ago and I split it up into foil vac sealed pouches just like the photo above and kept them in the fridge. I'm still using them today with no issues, used one in a pale ale just last week.

    First go at BIAB and some questions

    Try something like this ^ Get rid of your 60min addition which will make it too bitter if you BIAB. I disagree with the above comment on the 80g dry hops making the FWK too bitter, it will not impart any bitterness, only hop aroma. Dry hopping will not bitter a beer, go for the 80g. Just save...

    All Grain - is it substantially better beer?

    Agree, Fresh Wort Kits are the go. I brew AG but can see the attraction in fresh kits, close to all grain quality with little effort or equipment or time investment, probably quicker than extract kits, you can't go wrong!

    Fermentation by day 4?

    It's probably done at that gravity but just leave it for another day at least. I just did a 40L Wheat beer and it's done in 5 days.

    Opinions on boosting OG in Weissbier

    Hi All, I brewed my Weissbier again the other day, it has turned out very good in the past, but this time for whatever reason my OG was a bit low, most likely an efficiency or boil-off rate issue and i'm slack sometimes with taking measurements. Anyway I was supposed to end up with 1.050sg after...

    Carbonation drops and exploding lids

    I don't bother with fancy (expensive) cleaners and sanitizers, just good old boiling water and I have not had an infection ever. Make sure the bottles are clean (always rinse them after drinking don't let them sit and go mouldy) I line 6 or so bottles up then tip in a bit of water from the...

    A minimalist kegging system?

    2.5m for each beer line 5mm diameter, you won't need clamps on the hoses. Get proper beer line (the opaque stuff not the clear vinyl tube).

    Finally, new brewing space

    Bottle Condition = effin oxidisation

    Fermenter taps I ALWAYS pull apart completely because there always is something in them, let both parts dry thoroughly before reassembly. I only use 2 piece ball valves too. I don't use sanitizer for bottles either, they get rinsed with hot water after I drink them then the go away till next...

    How to dispose of spent grains?

    Mine goes to mine and the neighbours chooks. Put it on fb/gumtree once and it went quick as a flash. The stuff smells putrid after sitting for a day or more though.
