Hi folks, So I brewed a 62 Black IPA and after two weeks it's stalled at 1.030 (OG was 1.077). I've roused the yeast, raised the temp to 20°C and done a fast ferment for 24 hours as shown (still 1.030). I also initally pitched two packs of US-05 yeast. After this brew, I found out my...

Hi all, I'm after ~60 crown seal king brown bottles in Perth. If you have any, let me know!

Hi all, I brewed a DSGA with rye and cubed it. After the brew, there was wort scorched onto my element. It cut out a few times during the boil. Fast forward to today, I took a sample then pitched the yeast. The sample was sweet like wort but had a disgusting burnt aftertaste. Is it worth seeing...

Hi folks, I'm a no chiller and I cube hop but I'm looking for a bit more flavour to balance out the bitterness. The method of making "hop tea" that make sense to me is to take 2-3L of wort from the cube, bring it to the boil and add the <10 min hop additions. Then add this to the wort in the...

Hi all, Just kegged a beer at 10psi for a week, it's now been two weeks and it pours half beer and half head. The second pour is better but the beer is still undercarbed. The foam suggests it's overcarbed. Quick stats: - sitting in kegerator at 4ish deg. Varies a bit between the top and bottom...

Hi all, So my problem is that I've had my beer patiently sitting at 10psi for a week and last night I was finally going to taste my beautiful black IPA. However when I went to pour, the beer comes our slowly (very slowly but still a constant stream) and is flat. It doesn't foam up at all either...

Hi all, So I brewed NigeP62's 62 Black IPA and pitched the yeast on 8/6/2014 (7 days ago). The OG was 1.072 and the current gravity is 1.030 (sample tastes amazing). Sitting in my fermentation fridge at 18°C). The problem is that I need this beer on tap, ready to go for 28/06/2014. My...

Hi all, I've bought a keg king kegerator and set it up with the standard equipment in the bundle and after a few days, my CO2 bottle was empty. I have since replaced the push-in type connectors with a barbed manifold with hose clamps and leak tested the whole system and things are looking...

Hi all, I'm after 4 x 19L Cornelius ball lock kegs. Let me know if you are moving any on. Cheers, Hathro

So the wort seems fine however the cube is a little worse for wear. I can't pop it back into shape. At this stage, do I keep it and accept it will hold a smaller volume or ditch it? I'm inclined to keep it but I'm not sure of the cube's integrity now. Anyone been in this situation?

So I've tasted my SNPA mini-mash clone and it tastes great! The only problem is that when I pour it into a glass, it loses almost all of the hop aroma and flavour. The bitterness is still there but it is missing the floral aroma, cirtus hop flavour and the sweet crystal malt taste on the back...

Hi all, So I purchased a 40L Buffalo hot water urn and I'm currently doing a test run with water. It's been going on full whack for about 2 hours and still hasn't reached a rolling boil. It reached a rolling boil with the lid on but not with the lid off. The ambient temp is around 26ºC and...

Hi all, Thought I'd check in with the experts! Quick question about this controller. It seems to be the same as the Keg King controller and mentions that it is 16 amps? Are there any implications with this? Most of the other controllers seem to be 10 amps and I don't want it to be tripping my...

Hi all, I'm planning my brewing rig and will be making single batches, usually 23L (5 imperial gallons) and wanted to know if I should look for anything specific in an immersion wort chiller...
