Hey all, Now I don't start topics often as there is almost always a topic already, and this is not the usual "how do i carb my keg" question, but I have a 40 corny keg to gas and I need to crash carb it. Dont ask why, I just do ;) My usual method is either to hook up to serving pressure and...

AAARGH!!! A while ago I split up 5 smack packs. I went to grab a test tube today to step up for a Sam Adams Bostom Lager and found this. This infection has buggered up 10% of my yeasts!! Including 2565, 2124, 1968 and 1084. I have lost all of my 2124, but strangely only a few each of the other...

All, I intend to install a procon pump into my upcoming HERMS brewery upgrade. The issue i have (apart from the many others...) is that I feel it will be too powerful for my application and will compact the grain bed during recirc. I would like to have the ability to increase its OP to full...

All, I plan on brewing this one up on Saturday. I'm moving just after new years and need to stock up on beer and pack up some of my kit, as well as use up some stock. I have heaps of hops and 3/4 of a sack of JW Trad Ale, and a bit of Carapils. Cupoard clean-out APA - (with home toasted...

I am selling my trusty keg fridge after upgrading to a chesty. Will hold 3 kegs with no shelves, but I only ever had 2 kegs with a shelf for bottles. This 440L fridge comes with taps, shanks and drip tray. I have also fitted a fan inside the fridge to make it more efficient (will need...

Morning All, Disclaimer: Before anyone starts carrying on about search functions ive used them and read plenty. Ive been brewing AG for some time now and one thing that i have always struggled with is achieving a clear run-off from my MT, and of late, lots of chunks bits. This has been with...

All, I just went to get my cascade from the fridge and realised that it has no %AA on it :o !!!!. and im mashing as we speak. Does anyone have any cascade from brewmaker that can tell me the %AA? Cheers Leary

All, As the topic title and description says, ive had my first no-chill beer babies sitting on the shed floor over night and shortly about to pour one of them into the fermenter and pitch, however i was wondering whether to try and avoid pouring the break material in there as well. Opinoins...

Ive been slowly acquiring odds and sods for my transition to all-grain. However I am left with a dilemma, which of these two vessels do I use as my hlt / boiler. The SS 60L pot is large in diameter and not very tall. The pink line indicates the 45 liter mark, which is a bit high on the keg for...

Well after my (lame, half arsed) 1st attempt at a partial pilsner which was a total failure :angry: , I have succeded in my next attempt!! A (as the title suggests) Fuller's ESB clone inspired by the recipe in the BYO magazine. OMG possibly the best beer i have brewed to date. :chug: Recipe...

All, As the title says i have "acquired" myself a new drip tray for my fridge, which saves me making or buying one. Plus while scrounging around i found this SS Coca-cola Procon carbonation pump and motor, Much to good to be left lying around i said, so i acquired that as well. My next...

Guys & Girls, I've recently acquired (for the right price) a brand new hp gas regulator (up to 4k psi) intended for use with nitrogen / air and other inert gasses. My question is it possible albeit un-kosher to remove the right hand thread bottle fitting and replace it with a POL / LPG left...

Good afternoon boys and girls, I had the chance to sit down in Hahndorf yesterday and enjoy some delicious german fare with a few litres of Dunkel. I was wondering if anyone has replicated this style with a kit base before? If so how? Prost! :beer: Leary

Guys, girls and gurus, My question may sound a little odd but, i wish to use some crystal ( about 200 g ) in my next APA. My dilema is that ( for example ) there are 3 types of Crystal listed on Ross's website, dark, medium and pale. I had planned on ordering the medium crystal and was...
