With my brewery finished (for the moment) its time to turn my attentions to another project for brewing ... temperature controlled fermenting cupboard for ales I have several of these shelving unit milling around my warehouse and I thought they would make the perfect fermentation cabinets for...

Okay, so the more I've been reading (and thinking about doing some study on the science of brewing) one thing I realised is that I have no idea how to pronounce 'sciency' sounding words ... que, google 'how to pronounce' search Came across this site (no doubt there are hundreds of others) but...

So with my electric brewery finished and ready to go I set about today on my very first all-grain brew. The day did not go without problems but in the end I have 42L of APA in the fermentation fridge that looks, smells and tastes amazing! I tested the system several times, re-did valves and...

My electric brewery is finally complete and I'm ready to start my first AG brew. Using beersmith I cobbled together something I thought might be nice that resembles an APA, expected SG of 1.056 (so not a big beer at all) with 42 litres into the fermenter. Whilst we're trying new things, why...

Hey peoples I'm keen to grab a bunch of bottles (even though I keg my beer), as I'm limited by keg space and want to start moving to a system of carbonating in kegs, leaving to mature a little in my (soon to built) cool room and then transfer them to bottles. I've found that by only having...

Hey guys Gutted I missed the meeting last month. I filled out the form via the website to become a member, but haven't heard anything back yet. How do we pay the membership fee? Do we get a membership card, gotta have another card to put in my wallet :beerbang: Could be useful for showing...

Anyone have any suggestions for alternate clamps for my silicon hoses ... these ones suck balls, they dig into your hands and make using them one handed a pain. I was thinking just some simple ring clamps ... what do other people use?

Don't ask me why (i've had more then a few) but I'm thinking about bottle racks for bottling some beer. Anyone know if we can get something like this from a local supplier (preferably Melbourne based). I'm off to the fridge for a refill. Thanks Edit: Hahaha ... I have had more then a...

Hey-ho I was looking on gumtree for a water drum I can use as the reservoir for cooling water (either to run through an immersion, plate or counter-flow chiller) and came across these 220L drums. Anyway, will probably grab one for that purpose ... but would you ferment in something like this...

I've been following along on some of the all electric builds happening lately and its been great to see other peoples progress, so I thought I should really create a thread for our electric brewery that is currently under construction. I've never brewed an AG beer, but have a decent amount of...

So I'm keen to try washing and keeping some yeast - nothing special, just some US-05, I realise that its more common to do this with a 'better' yeast but for the sake of learning with something 'simple', this is what I've got on hand. I washing it in some 500ml jars and from what I've seen...

I put one of these hop bazookas in my boil kettle tonight and noticed that the element sits very close. It is approx 1/2" above the bazooka ... any opinions, is this likely to be a problem? Its a 5500w element in a 70 litre pot. Cheers

This has probably been answered elsewhere but a search for the term 'what is cubing' turns up hundreds of results with nothing that seems to have a title similar to the question. So what is cubing? Is it simply the process of taking hot wort from the BK into a plastic cube for naturally...

So I'm pretty sure after reading various forums, watching vids on the old 'tube ... that my esky-conversion is good to go ... but I thought i'd post up just to make sure. Tubing inside is all copper - it has not be soldered together so I can disassemble for easy cleaning. It has 3mm holes on...

So I smashed out a mash paddle in the workshop the other night ... its Tasmanian oak, 18mm thick by 110mm (I think?) ... anyway, should I coat it with something, or leave it untreated .. or not use it at all?

Hi peoples I had a profile here years ago, but have forgotten what the username and email was ... and its been many years since I've brewed ... so I thought I'd start again! Brewed my first extract probably around 15 years ago and never stepped up to anything else. Fast forward those 15 years...
