    Equipment For Sale All grain brewery kit and kegs Gold Coast

    I've not had time to do more than a few FWK for a year or more and now have to move house, so I'm selling out for now. I'd ideally like to sell the brewery as one lot & the kegs as another lot, but if you want everything I'll knock off $50. Brewery Brewery is 86L boiler & Mash tun with malt...

    Fix back sweetened cider

    I've got a 50l keg of commercial craft cider I got for the price of the keg, but it's back sweetened and I like dry cider. I'm thinking a bout dropping some yeast in to chew up the sugars and make a strong dry cider. Any tips or yeast recommendations? Only cider I've made was dropping beer...

    Should I dry hop a commercial keg of beer?

    I've come into a couple of kegs of craft beer, I think it's Yenda. It's out of date, but tastes ok. Same as it probably did fresh, which is pretty average at best. It really needs a shit load of hops dropping in the top, but I'm worried about ruining it. Its definitely filtered so no yeast...

    Bar fridge for 50l keg?

    Anyone managed to get a 50L keg in a bar fridge? I'm thinking they won't fit.. but maybe with some persuasion.

    Help with accidental extra bitterness

    Hi, I was hoping someone could give me some advice on dry hopping this beer which is now more bitter than I planned for. Should I dry hop to the schedule, reduce the schedule or not dry hop at all? I know dry hopping is said to not raise IBU, but I think it does raise perceived bitterness...

    Ways to remove gluten from beer

    Thought I'd start a thread to discuss ways of reducing gluten for those of us that get smashed by the stuff, but still want to drink beer. I've been using clarity ferm which works pretty well, but must have some limits as I did a FWK black ipa that had wheat in it. Even with the clarity ferm...

    Works fine, but beaten up a bit. Westinghouse I think. Inside all peeled and a bit rusty. Top dented and scratched. Needs clean. Good for fermentation chamber. Need gone this weekend or it's going to the tip

    Can you get tannins from recycling wort, or just sparging?

    My last couple or batches have had a weird off flavour that I've narrowed down to tannis. One was a bit lemony, slightly acid and made the tongue dry like a red wine. The next had more crystal in which covered the lemony taste, but was also a but muddy tasting and made me mouth a bit dry. I'm...

    Bad tasting yeast starter

    I always taste my starters, and normally they just taste flat and beery. This starter tastes like the worst home brew twang you can imagine. Kind of plasticy. It's not like what I would consider to be an infection taste though. It's made from kettle trub. Beer is a partial mash stout, with...

    Does priming sugar reduce chances of oxidation?

    I was just wondering as i had to move a beer out of a bad keg into secondary & I'll have to move it back again eventually, so I added priming sugar. Mostly I wanted to get CO2 over the beer as I can't purge easily, but it got me wondering whether priming sugar would work as effective oxidation...

    do you boil filtered water?

    I'm doing a kit for the first time in ages, and I want to keep it simple. I'm going to use water filtered through two in line filters. Just wondered what the consensus was about boiling or not boiling before use. The filter may be a source of bacteria.

    Persistent oxidised beer problem

    I have a persistent off flavour that's crept into my beers, two of which have been bad enough to tip away. I thought it was an infection at first, but I now think it's oxidation (I'm putting the change down to my taste getting more refined). I can now detect a distinct wet cardboard taste. In...

    First lager seems to have been a disaster - is it worth it?

    I've been doing AG English ales about a year and mostly really happy, as I'm getting cask ale that's better than anything locally availble. I've only had one disaster where I got the water wrong and ended up with nothing like beer. So I just tried a Czech pilsner, and what a pain in the arse...

    Bronce sparkler real ale machine

    I've been searching for the best way to serve my real ale which is all I drink and the main reason for getting into home brew. Every option seemed expensive, messy or both, and I realised that most options were designed for pubs in the UK, not garages in Queensland. My ghetto beer engine served...

    Any point cleaning a keg that's going to be refilled straight away

    I only have one keg and I fill it from jerry cans used as secondary fermenters. I've just emptied one which I know was not infected, and I cannot see any reason to clean it between brews. I know you wouldn't do this repeatedly and obviously not ok to change from stout to lager, but apart from...

    What's the best keg set up for Real Ale (with out a beer engine)?

    I've been using collapsible bags with either gravity pour or ghetto beer engine, but after the last two leaked (half lost batch from infection, and lots of mess), I'm giving up on them. At some point I'll rig up a beer engine to a keg via LPG reg, but for now I want to get as close to...
