So wise...... Advice taken. A coarser crush it is. Cheers Bribie G

Yes I do have a fair bit of flour in the mash. I mill it pretty fine so maybe I need to change the setting. Might use no wheat next time and see if that changes things.. Thats a good idea about the scourer... might give that a whirl. Thanks mate

Hi All Yesterday I had a crack at brewing my first IPA. However, halfway through the boil I started to smell a strange burning smell and I couldn't work out what it was or where it was coming from. So I just carried on as normal. After flameout I transferred to cubes and near the end of the...

Cheers boys... First infection in 4 years.. It really hurts, oh well chalk it up to experience. Its now the Gutter Ale

No hops went into the fermenter. I used US05 The white shit just looks bad.... Guess its my first garden brew.....

I ferment in a fridge, 2 FVs in a fridge and the other FV is fine. Tastes good. Taste the same as the other FV. Took reading the same way as always.

WTF is this ?? Is it as bad as I assume ?? 14 days @ 18' us05 Wasnt like this 3 days ago when I took gravity reading...

I always leave for 14 days days and check gravity is stable before CC. Ive never had this happen before, I bought a second hand FV so I thought that may have been the issue. Cheers for the response guys.

Never had this happen before. Have I got my first infection? Noticed it just before I CC.

I give Ten Toes two thumbs up. I really enjoy his beers, there is a wood fire pizza van there on Fri arvos if you're keen for a feed. Rupert is also a top bloke for beer chat when it's not busy. Pretty sure 'Taps' at Mooloolaba has his pale ale there

Hey Brad If you put in an order I will grab 6. Cheers Luke

Pretty sure my old man bathed me in it when i was a kid. That explains my attraction to it. It's definatly a good drop

Cheers Mikeyr, just grabbed acouple myself. What could go wrong.. :kooi:

OK... so I will definantly take extra care and make sure this avoidable issue does not happen again. Regarding the frozen beer.... the gravity has dropped from 1044 to 1034 in 3 days since thawing out. However, I do not have a krausen like normal do when using US05. I have tiny bubble activity...

Yes, in hindsight I should of taped my probe to the side of my fridge. It is normally weaved in-between the fridge shelves and left to dangle between the 2 FV in the fermentation chamber. However, mistakes and shit happen My unanswered questions remains, has this happened to anyone before? Or...

Yesterday afternoon I pitched us05 into my FV. Then I got up to check in the morning, only to find that the temp probe on my controller has fallen outside of the freezer door. I pitched the yeast at 4pm yesterday afternoon, and when I checked it after the footy the probe must have fallen out...

Hey Kev, I'm no expert..but if you have fermentation at a controlled temp, its happy days. However, I could be wrong. If it was me I would not be concerned. Cheers :kooi:

Its all good gents... I have positive activity now. I believe that I just panicked this morning when the wort looked dead. The yeast last night did look strange though, not like Ive seen before. Oh well... Once again thanks for the replies. :kooi:
