Hi all, In nearly all of my all-grain beers so far I have noticed what I think may be oxidation. I BIAB no-chill and up until now have been glad-wrapping my fermenter and securing it with a rubber band as many people on here do because my fermenter won't fit in my fridge. For the brew I am...

Hi people. I want to brew a light lager using rice but my recipe calls for flaked rice and I can't seem to find it. Does any one know how much boiled rice you would substitute for 0.8 kg of flaked rice?

Hi, I am new to kegging and am having an issue with beer not coming out of the gun, the line is full of foam. Could this be over carbonation or something else? The keg is about half full and the gun is fine and not blocked because I ran some water through it to test it.

Hi, I have recently read on the forums about people using us05 at the bottom of the range and getting very clean results. I would like to try this and was wondering from people that have done it did you need to pitch more yeast or did you just pitch warmer and slowly lower the temp? Thanks

Hi, Do you find you can get decent head retention in lagers when using all base malts, e.g. all pils malt, or do you find that you need to add stuff like wheat and carapils to help boost head retention? Any tips/things you have learned that you would like to share would be greatly appreciated...

Hi all, I was reading the aabc style guidelines and was intrigued by this style. Are there any commercial examples still available? (I'm guessing the modern bitters don't count since they are too light in colour and lagers). What would you come up with for a recipe for one of these? Cheers

Hi, I would like to brew a 3-3.5 percent beer for when I have to drive and for the old man who is a midstrength drinker. I have brewed Dr Smurto's golden ale extract version and that was nice and my best effort to date. Does anyone have any ideas about how this recipe might be adapted so...

Hi, I am planning do do my first biab in a 44 litre esky (full volume and no sparge) and transferring the wort after mashing into the boil pot. Can anyone recommend a material to use for a grain bag? Would an old bed sheet work?
