Thb mate...cant remember. Was possibly 5+ years ago? Im thinking the Reject Shop. Good luck. [emoji106]

Hey All, I get most people on here probably keg and so do I...now :). However I know people are into aging big beers so these may still be of interest to some. So I'm selling all my bottles and storage containers. The bottles are all the German style 500ml bottles all of similar size. I...

I'm in. Cheers!

I still bottle, so unless I put one hop pellet per bottle...ha ha. Ok, point taken on the dry hopping will ramp this up to may be 45g/45g Galaxy/Mosaic.

I do treat my water, I bring the PH down to around 5.4 (so hard to get this exact) and add about 6g of Gypsum. So I was always of the impression that dry hopping is for aroma (on the nose) rather than actually adding additional flavour to the beer?

Howdy all, I've been brewing an American Pale Ale for a while now (up to about version 15). It incorporates two of my favourite hops Galaxy and Mosaic. My pallet has somewhat changed over the past year and it now desires additional hop flavour in my beers which unfortunately my current hop...

Are you saying 100g's is sane or insane? Have only just started upping my hop quantities to try and get more hoppy goodness coming through.

Hello Fellow brewers, One of my last creations was a Citra PA which is currently sitting in a 21.5 litre cube waiting to be fermented. While reading different recipes and articles I have come across the advice that you shouldn't use too much Citra otherwise you start getting garlic flavours...

My ferment freezer is in a non insulated shed outside, so over those cold couple months we have :D I have a heat belt on mine. Don't necessarily even have to have it wrapped around the fermenter, just having it inside the freezer/fridge should be enough.

Yep, Brisbane tap water. No additives to mess with it.

Good ole US-05

Howdy all, I'm fairly new to all grain brewing, have had a few decent beers and a few not so decent beers as well as a few surprises. I brewed DS's Golden Ale but I think my local HBS may have messed up the grain bill as the beer came out darker and had a slight malty flavour. Second time I...

She did kick off after a few days and when I say kick off I mean KICK OFF! Only foamed up for about a day and already the top looks clear. Interesting yeast already I'm impressed, lets see how it tastes. :drinks:

January 2017 on the yeast

Hey All, Put a brew down Sat morning using this yeast. I was a little surprised when I smacked the pack and left it for about an hour that it didn't swell at all. So its now been a few days and theres no action in the fermenter, this is my first time using this yeast so I have nothing to...

Thanks for the responses. I BIAB and have only ever added the grain when the waters at mash temp. So by stirring the grain with the drill what are the potential side affects, off flavours in the beer?

Howdy all, So, when mashing in I've taken the easy road with a drill and paint/grout stirrer whom have never contributed to the man shed. So when pouring the grain to mash I do bursts on the hammer drill to stop grain balls then during the heating to mash out I'm trying to "beat" the last...

I cracked it open yesterday, at first it smelt ok and I couldnt notice anything growing in the wort so when tipping it out I filled a jug so I could further analyse. After smelling it a little more I was picking up a faint scent of what I could only compare to the harsh disinfectants you get in...

Howdy All, I have read a few historical posts already about swollen no chill cubes, unfortunately all were doom and gloom saying the worts infected and should be tipped. Is this the only experience or has the odd person had another outcome? Ive often heard of peoples cubes swelling up when...

Was out at craftbrewer the other day buying the ball valve they also raised this point so I have a few peices to play with. Craftbrewer also sell the carbide stepped drill bits so I just purchased one, I think as a brewer I'm in for the long haul so I'm sure it will get used again.
