I'm down here with the family and seeking out good beer. Mornington Peninsula Brewery and Red Hill Brewery are definitely on the agenda but do not open until later in the week. If it helps I'm at rosebud but willing to drive

Hey guys I'm looking to buy a coopers fermenter as I've used them before and really like them. The website has them listed at $44.91. If the order is over $80 there is no delivery (usually $15). Bit of a longshot, but does anyone in Brisbane want one and want to go in on the order? I'm on...

Hey guys Really silly question but I'm hoping you can help me. I recently bought this wort chiller: http://www.brewmart.com.au/brewmart-shop/catalogue/?detail&ItemID=3582&SZIDX=0&CCODE=18867+SS&QOH=21&CATID=304&CLN=1 I'm trying to figure out what fittings I need to get from Bunnings to make...

Hey guys I've been tearing through gas and am convinced I must have a leak. I did the soap test but no luck. I disconnected my kegs and turned the gas off and in 48 hours I haven't lost any kpi on the gauge. Does this suggest the leak is in the keg or in the connection to the keg?

Hey guys I'm in the market for a wort chiller. Would prefer copper (to ensure maximum efficiency) and it to be as large as possible. Came across this one on the Brew Mart website for $170 + delivery...

Hey guys First time brewing with Brett so a bit unsure. I have a Saison/Brett Blend yeast that is 6 months old. I have read that making a starter can cause the Sacc to develop in excess of the Brett and will cause the yeast to become out of the intended balance. That being said, the yeast is 6...

I made a rookie error and ran out of gas. Does anyone know who is open over christmas to get C02? I am willing to travel.

Hey guys Recently brewed a pale ale and am seeking thoughts on getting more hop aroma. Whilst the beer tastes great, has perfect bitterness and there is a hop aroma, it quickly blows off and is nothing like I expected. I know the obvious answers tends to be 'just add more hops' but I have dry...

Hey guys Brewed my first Russian Imperial Stout a couple of weeks ago. Recipe was from Brewing Classic Styles (Czar's revenge). I underestimated my efficiency and overshot my OG. Ended up at 1.105 (aiming for 1.098) I cubed it so my oxygenating consisted of me tipping from height into the...

Hey guys I just got into kegging and I love it. I've committed to bringing a keg to an event and I don't know how to approach it. What is the easiest/cheapest way to take a keg to a party? What is the minimum gear I will need? Thanks again

Hey guys I've never quite understood how to use my refractometer. I batch sparge and try to mix prior to using my refractometer. Despite this, my readings always seem to be under and jump around a lot. I have even tried to wait until the boil starts before measuring (thinking it will mix it...

Hey guys, I'm brewing a Kolsch and need some advice. I plan to ferment for 2 weeks (or until done) and then cold crash as low as possible in my fermenting fridge for a week. I will add gelatin in the last couple of days then in keg, carbonate and wait a month for consumption. Is this...

Hey guys This is a super silly question but I'm trying to convert my esky to a mash tun and struggling to put together a tap that doesn't result in a leak. If anyone could point me towards what I need to grab from the big green shed that would be amazingly appreciated!!!

Hey guys I'm going to do my first AG brew. I am attempting to brew the 'West Coast Blaster' from Brewing Classic Styles. I am trying to line up the grain requirements with the options at CraftBrewer. I have done the following: British Pale Ale Malt= Ale - Perle Malt (Thomas Fawcett Floor...

Hey guys Been lurking for a while, thought I would do my first post. I did my first extract brew a couple of weeks ago. I steeped 250g of Carared grains for 30 mins @ 70 degrees. I did a full boil, following beer smith instructions, adding 2.5kg of light DME and the following hop times...
