Is this where you siphon off a small amount, raise the temp up (to maybe close to the 30) and see if it ferments any more?

I aerated the batch at the start, just manually with a big spoon etc. I added hops because i was adding a 2L starter and didn't want to further decrease the IBU of the beer as it was already on the light side in terms of bittering.

Initially i used the kit yeast, so yes it could have been low in count, but it did start off fine. For the yeast starter i used a s-05 from the LHBS who keeps things pretty fresh and always refrigerated. I used about 400g total of the specialty grain.

Hi All, I'm still only a few of years into brewing and have been reasonably successful with BIAB all grain brewing. Recently, with a new kid and less time on my hands i decided to switch back to extract/kit and bit brewing. My last brew stopped fermenting around 1.020 (OG was around 1.042)...

Cheers, my mistake, was looking under Flaked. :)

OK. Must call them as I couldn't find it on their website. Would the polenta be 1:1 substitute in the mash?

Hi all, looking to make a brew that uses flaked corn/maize. Problem is that my LHBS or other nearby (sth east Melbourne) don't seem to stock it. Can't find it in the eBay sellers either. Are there any alternatives we can get easily here in Australia? I read about corn grist but also read...

Hey, If anyone in Melbourne (or Bendigo) wants to give away or sell some some small crown style bottles I'd be keen to work something out. Cheers

Yeah my local Brewers Den has them to. Based on the advice here, especially about the aussie disposals ones, I'll probably get one from bunnings or rays outdoors. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aussie Home Brewer mobile app

Thanks everyone...I didn't actually know what everyone meant when they said cubes, now ive seen some pics I realize exactly what they are... :rolleyes: Think I'll definitely pick one up. Aussie disposals have 25l ones for 13 bucks... As long as they are the right material I'll probably try one...

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it's not something commonly found at stores like bunnings or camping stores then? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aussie Home Brewer mobile app

I'm in Melbourne.. out near Wantirna. Interesting comments about the IBU. Will need to factor that in. Will be good to hear how other people adjust their recipies Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aussie Home Brewer mobile app

Hi All, Still less than a year in to home brewing and just came across the no chill cube method. I'll be moving to all grain brewing for my next batch and want to know what containers you guys are using for cubes and where your buying them (bunnings?) Also, does anyone have some ideas on how...

FWIW to anyone who reads this, I decided to drop the coriander and use a small amount of ginger. So it's now a Summer Ale with a hint of ginger and orange. LHBS was also out of Amarillo so I substituted in cascade at 30 min and flame out and used some PoR for bittering. Ibu was still the same...

My first kit was the coopers Mexican Cerveza brewed to what ever was on the instructions..maybe BE2 I dry hopped with some galaxy and it turned out very nice and drinkable..enjoyed by many over summer. I'd dial back the amount of galaxy I used or just stick with the recipie for beginners...

I had a similar problem with a cream ale I made in May. Turns out when I was following the recipie I converted a cup measurement into grams for the DME I was priming with and got it wrong As my problem was not enough sugar, I took 2 bottles out, Uncapped them, added 1/8 teaspoon dextrose to one...

Not enough to remember what it tasted like...or at least not recently enough to have taken the time to notice :rolleyes: Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aussie Home Brewer mobile app
