Hey guys I'm bringing a keg to my parents place for Christmas and was going to use my keg king mini reg to push the beer. I've got some x tech co2 cartridges for filling bike tires at home and was wondering if they would be OK for this? The last lot of cartridges I bought (also for bike tires)...

So i have keg hopped 2 batches now using a hop sock and have had great results with the hop aroma, far more that with dry hopping in the fermenter. My only issue is hop floaties and poor clarity which I put down to my hop sock having too bigger holes. I have heard of people using stocking and...

I just got 3 second hand cornies and have been giving them a good clean but there is a small mark inside one just above the weld that I can't get rid of. Is this something to worry about or should I just leave it?

I have decided to finally start adjusting my water for brewing and have been playing with the ezi water spread sheet and I thought I'd try my hand at it in my Russian imperial stout I'm brewing tonight. So I went to my brew shop and got some calcium sulphate and some calcium chloride as the...

So I brewed up a black saison last night using some carafa t3 that I had cold steeped for around 16 hours. I added the cold steeped liquor in the last ten minutes of the boil but after cubing it up I don't think its quite dark enough. I still have the carafa sitting in my strainer and was...

So I'm planning a sour saison using yeast and bacteria from bottles of beer I've recently been given for my 30th birthday. I've recultured yeast from a la siren saison and plan to do a primary ferment with this then rack to secondary where I will add dregs from 2 bottles of Orval, a 3 fontene...

I've had a fly in my beer 4 times in 2 days! So frustrating! Does this happen to everyone else or is it just me. It seems like the fly's are really getting into the craft beer thing....

So I've been doing single 22l batch's for a wile with my 50l pot and 3 ring burner and I was thinking of trying to fill a 20l cube and a 15l which will put my pre boil around 45l. Has any one had experience boiling this volume in a 50l pot with a 3 ring burner? I figure it might take a wile but...

I boiled a bunch of mason jars and water about 3 months ago and only used about half of them to rinse some yeast at the time. I was planning on rinsing some yeast this week and was wondering if I can use these jars/ water or should I re boil and cool. The lids are all still sucked down. Sent...

so I have made myself a hlt using a keg, keg king element and a 30 amp temp controller similar to a stc 1000. I have a ntc probe mounted in the keg and I would like to wire the sensor to a plug or joiner so that when I need to clean the hlt I don't have to take the temp controller with it. Just...

I've got a saison that's been in primary for 10 days and has gone from 1052 to 1001 its been stable for two days and I was really hoping to bottle it tonight. Only issue is the cling wrap on the fermenter is still inflated, I'm thinking this is just co 2 escaping but thought I'd run it by...

I am in the process of making a hlt from a 50l keg, I've cut the lid out and drilled my holes for the element, ball valve and sight gage now I need to give it a good clean before assembling. Just wanted to know what is the best stuff to clean stainless with? Preferably something I can get from...

I brewed up a batch yesterday arvo and had it all cubed up around 5 but this morning I noticed a small amount of wort had dribbled out of the bung hole I quickly cleaned it off, sprayed with starsan and tightened the bung a bit. It seems to have stopped leaking but I'm a little worried about...

I saved some of the yeast cake from my chubby cherrub pale ale (Bry-97) and just noticed there is lumpy stuff on top. I have done this a few times before but usually just settles out nice and flat, is this something i should be worried about? I had a quick sniff and it smelt alright to me but I...

I did my fourth all grain last night and just pitched my yeast to find i have only got 40% efficiency :(. I have been getting around about 60-65% on my previous brews and have been trying everything to get it up from there! I'm so devistated i just can't believe it. my recipe was 4500g pilsner...
