    Pick Up Brisbane, The Gap - flip top bottles

    Hi guys There are around 30 flip top bottles. Some have bayonets but you will need to grab some + red seals (cost next to nothing at LHBS) 3 crates included. Most of these have only had about 2-3 batches through them before I switched to kegging. They are a simple method to bottling & as...

    Recently started doing a mash out while constantly stirring until I get to temp, without any false bottom. Just curious as to whether any of you have kept the thermostat on during the mash without a false bottom? There was no issue of bag scorch when I was constantly stirring for mash out &...

    Crown concealed element users

    Anyone got a good method to keep the element from getting wort caked onto it during the boil? I find 60 mins usually no problems but on the occasional 90 minute boil i have had it cut out. Currently i use the spoon the scrape it periodically & avoid this issue, but has anyone come up with a...

    Water chemistry - big efficiency increase

    I finally got around to reading about water chemistry after a few years of brewing (extract first year, 2 years BIAB). After adjusting my water I saw an increase of 8 points without changing anything else! Also, tasting from fermenter the hops seem to pop much more than before (adjusted H2O to...

    Brigalow bottling wands are cheap shit

    As the title says, absolute shit product. I've now had 2 springs go, both on the very first bottle of bottling day. Avoid them like a ladyboy when you're drunk at 3am in Patpong. One upside is that I bottled using food grade tubing & found it worked rather well. Much quicker if a little...

    Overprimed

    Hey all I recently bottled a Porter Ale in 750ml swing tops & somehow miscalculated. I have primed to approx 3.1 volumes instead of 2.5. Is this going to lead to mountains of foam when I open them? They are currently sitting at a steady 22 degrees & have been conditioning for 11 days. Is it...

    Sweet Orange Peel Powder from Craft Brewer

    Has anyone used it? I picked some up & thinking of using it in my saison recipe. Has a slight smell like Tang. Wondering is it imparts nice flavour or am I better off with fresh orange zest? If fresh, the peel of how many oranges is needed? Cheers

    Brew software discrepancies

    I mainly use Ian H's spreadsheet which is great when designing recipes I'm an extract brewer, when I have entered some of my recipes into Brewtoad they give different OG's as well as different IBU (even if AA% is represented the same). Anyone else notice this?

    Hi guys I have been searching the net for ways to impart strong choc flavours into porters, stouts & brown ales. I found multiple sites where people were recommending a Korean roasted barley called Borlicha. It's available in any korean supermarket & is about $2.40 a bag (450gms) Has anyone...
