    Robobrew - any point in whirlpooling

    I did my first Robobrew on the weekend, after moving on from an esky mash tun + urn. All in all it was a good experience, although I forgot to whirlpool. It got me thinking - is there much point in whirlpooling in a Robobrew? Where will the trub cone sit? On top of the false bottom? The...

    New to kegging. Beer not holding carbonation?

    Hi Folks, I've just set up my keg master kegerator and I've had my first 2 beers in there for exactly a week now. Temperature is set to 4 degrees. My regulator is set to to just shy of 80kpa. The beers seem to pour pretty well carbonated, have a head on them, etc but the carbonation...

    Fermentation - in fridge and then out

    Hi guys, Now that I've bought myself a 3 tap kegerator, I need to get brews happening initially as fast as possible. When bottling I was usually doing about 3 - 4 weeks in the fermentation fridge before bottling. I want to get beers in kegs quickly, so only initially I was thinking of...

    Kegging questions

    Evening lads, I'm thinking about getting into kegging before the silly season is upon us. I've got a few questions I'm hoping you can answer to help me along my way. I'm thinking about a Keg Master 3, with 3 kegs and 3 taps. I'm not against spending a bit of money for a nice setup. I'm...

    Waiter there's straw in my grist!

    Just knocking out an American Pale Ale and noticed that there seems to be straw in my grain. I was just about done with mashing when I noticed it. See the attached pic. The piece in the middle is a normal grain, the piece to the left and the right appear to be straw. If I try and chew on it...

    Yeast washing question

    I've just finished my first attempt at yeast washing. I had just bottled up a 20 litre pale ale which was fermented with WLP051 Cal Ale V. I added about 3 litres of water to the yeast cake and put it into a large clear jug, waited about an hour for it to seperate and then poured the top half...

    Techniice mash tun questions

    Hi guys, I've decided to steup up my game and move in to all grain. I've had my eye on the fully set up 40 litre techni ice mash tuns on Beer Belly. They come already configured with the tap installed, thermometer drilled through the side and false floor installed. Problem is, with postage...
