I'm about to do my third all grain tomorrow morning. My first all grain I brewed early in the morning I was well prepared and everything was well planned, didn't have a beer until I was past the half way mark. Beer turned out great. My second one was in the evening, I'd been drinking all arvo...

Cheers guys, I have a heat pad and a belt for the colder months (out of the fridge) and can keep the temp fairly consistent but now it's going to start warming up I need to get my fridge sorted. I'm going with the STC 1000 as everyone seems to recommend it and seems fairly straight forward. If I...

Thanks Kev, I will look into it now. It sounds like the way to go. I'm useless with electrical stuff so I will check out keg king. Ironically my old man is a sparky.. Cheers!

Thanks mate, I forgot to mention the fridge works perfectly so will that make a difference or will I need to alter anything. Probably a stupid question but I don't want to stuff the fridge if I can help it. Cheers.

Thanks RB that recipie looks great. Love the idea of soaking them in bourbon, great flavor and a good way to kill any bacteria. Cheers!

Thanks guys. I'll definitely try putting a pod or two in the fermenter this time as well as at end of boil. Doing a vanilla search now. Cheers!

I scrapped out three pods and added them at the end of the boil. I either bottled it to early or something else went wrong as they were pretty much all head. Flavour was not bad but not enough vanilla coming through.

Hey Guys. I'm looking at Brewing an Extract Porter and adding Vanilla. I'm thinking of adding Vanilla pods/seeds or extract at about 5mins towards end of boil. Has anyone experimented with this if so what do you recommend and what quantity? I've brewed it before and it wasn't great, hoping to...
