Looking for advice on glucoamylase 400 I've used this enzyme a few times now. When used in the mash, I didn't find it reduced the FG by much at all. In the fermenter at 2ml per 21l it took a cream ale with an OG of 1.047 to 1.002. I've got an IPA in the fermenter (1.065 OG)at the moment...

So I'm just about to build a keezer with a collar but my freezer has a cord that goes from bottom of the freezer to the lid to supply power to the little light. It looks like it won't be long enough to reach the lid once I add the collar. I don't really want the light so am hoping for advice...

I feel like this is something I should know but after BIAGing for years I don't. When recirculating during the mash should you try not to disturb the grain bed? Are there pros and cons for doing./not doing? My bro just got a robobrew and I initially thought he should run the silicon tube to...

So i managed to drop a small rubberband into a keg of pale ale. It's only small (about diameter of my little finger). I toyed with the idea of racking off and removing but lazyness got the better of me. I guess time will tell what effect it will have but wondering if anyone has done this and...

Didnt get any traction in gear and equipment so will try here. My keg king mk3 reg has stopped working for some reason. Neither of the guages are showing any action but there is gas in the tank and it's comeing out of tank ok when i depress gasbottle. To my non technical mind (excuse my lack...

My keg king mk3 reg has stopped working for some reason. Neither of the guages are showing any action but there is gas in the tank and it's comeing out of tank ok when i depress gasbottle. To my non technical mind (excuse my lack of knowlwdge for technical names if the reg) it seems like an...

Haven't done one before so looking to have a go. Not fussed on base beer style. Any recipes would be welcomed

I'm reasonably new to kegging and am struggling to stop hop floaties. I recently kegged an ipa that dry hopped (nude) in Secondary (not excessive ~60g), cold crashed for about a week then transfered via fermenter bung to the keg. I was trying to be careful at the end of the transfer not to pick...

Then use the containers to store yeast!!

How do people transfer from the cube to the FV? I'm especially interested in the best way to do this when cube hopping. Most of the time I use the 15L (more like 17L) water containers from Bunnnings. It's light enough to control the pour so that I can leave most of the hop matter and trube...

It gets itself into hot and sticky places and by the end of the day it's often covered in all sorts of crud. So how do you get it looking like new so your missus doesn't mind looking at it and, if you're lucky, handling it from time to time. Of course I'm talking about your grain bag. I've...

Planning my annual xmass eve big beer brew and was planning on an English barleywine around 9-10%. I've got a mild in the fermenter now with 002 thought I'd pitch on top of the cake or a portion of it, but am worried it might not attenuate enough and leave me with a cloying syrupy mess. Anyone...

Anyone know if they are still on the shelves?? I've been to a couple of stores in canberra now and can't seem to find any scent free nappi san.

If you reduce wort down to syrupy gooeyness for use in say scotch ale. Can you store the syrup in a sanitised container/ jar and use it for future brews?

Hi all. My bros is visiting our olds in the sunny coast and his wife wants to organise some good beer for him while they're there. They're staying in Noosa but also travelling south to Mudjimba. Any good recommendation's for places to get good beer?

I'm often faced with this conundrum. I see a great beer at the bottle shop but I'm on my way somewhere that means the beer will sit in the car for a few hours. Now I know that most beers (particularly hoppy ones) benefit from cold storage, however is also know that fluctuations in temp also...

Presume it should be OK but just wanted to double check. I saved some yeast mangrove jacks m44 from a recent amber. Collected trub and all in a large jar and put it in the fridge with a plan to wash wash it later. Fridge got super cold and now all is frozen. Not sure for how long prob a few...

Is there a calendar of homebrewing comps around anywhere? I looked at this sites calendar and all I can see is birthdays...

So my barleywine seems to have fermented out in under a week. It went from 1.103 to 1.020 and the yeast appears to have cleaned itself up pretty well (almost like a 2 week pale ferment). So is there any benefit to keeping it on the yeast or am I ok to transfer to secondary to oak and age or is...
