Hi guys, I'm brewing the bullshead summer saison at the moment. i think i might be in trouble. i've mashed in and my brew looks watery and isn't that sweet when i taste it. i scaled the recipe down for a smaller 23 litre BIAB batch. 3.0 kg weyermann pils, 1kg wheat malt, 0.1 weyermann...

Hey guys, I noticed aldi have bar fridges and upright freezers cheap at the moment. The 120L bar fridge looks like it might be a bit tight to get a fermenter in there? Bit hard to tell with the 81L freezer? Anyone used one of these before or knows the internal dimensions? Thanks Rusty.

So I've just bottled my 1st BIAB. I've heard of a way of force carbonating bottles. Is it just a matter of keeping the beer at a warm temp and giving a shake every so often?

Hey guys, Long story short my fermenting fridge is no longer with us. I still have a stc1000 wired up tho. My question is can I still use it with just the heat mat plugged in? I'm about to ferment a stout and thought it might help if I use the heat mat with some sort of temp control. Given...

Hey guys, Gonna pop my BIAB cherry tomorrow. I'm making Dr Smurto's Golden ale. I have a concern about the water level to start with. I'm using a keg with a 3 ring burner. I understand that there will be some loss in the boil and the grains will suck up a lot as well. Beersmith tells me to...

Hi guys, Just setting up my 1st BIAB with a keg. A mate of a mate had a plasma cutter so i thought this would be the best way for a nice clean cut. I was wrong. There seems to be a really rough edge near to where the lid was cut (on the walls of the keg). What would be the best way to clean it...

Hey guys, First time using starsan. I have mixed up a large batch and about to sanitize my bottles. I have washed them and now I am dunking them in a sink full of starsan. There is a lot of bubbles in the bottles? Everyone says no need to rinse starsan but it seems like a lot inside the bottle...

So I've bottled a hoegaarden kit this arvo and when I added the sugar to the bottles for secondary ferment they all fizzed up and out of the bottles? I've had beer and cider do this but never out and onto the kitchen floor. Any ideas?

hi guys, i've been brewing for about 4 years now with kits/grain. looking to move to biab.... is it cool to do half batches (10-12ltr)? i'd prefer to make more small batches rather than drinking the same large batch for ages. i'm already learning load from this site. thanks for all your...
