Hey guys. Having a clear out as I'm just getting my kegs filled at a microbrewery and no plans to start brewing again. Free to good home. Would prefer not to split and for the stuff to go to someone who needs a helping hand rather than someone just thinking 'Cha Ching'. '.

Guys, I have my old fermentation fridge going spare. No longer needed as I've built a keezer and now use my old kegerator as a powered fermentation fridge. Holds 1 regular fermenter or 3 cubes and easily gets down to 18 in summer with changing Of frozen bottles morning and night. Can even do a...

If nobody has got one second hand where would I buy a new one?

Hi guys. Am I in trouble with this? Glad wrap still tight but looks like it's hanging on for dear life. If it pops what do I do? Bacchus FWK oatmeal stout made to 28 litres with notto. Pitched at 22 then dropped to 17.5. Was very busy this morning and forgot to change ice bottle so temp...

Have been fermenting in cubes lately and the last couple of brews have had the same off flavour. Smells/tastes to me like pea and ham soup. Have went back to normal fermenters as these can be easily thoroughly cleaned as I thought this might be the problem. Did a sample couple of batches. One...

As the title implies, anyone ever kegged part of a batch a bit early and left the rest to sit it out? Got 28 litres in the fermenter and was thinking of kegging 9 litres tomorrow morning when it will have been in there 9 days. Would leave the rest at least another 5 days. It's not essential...

Is there anywhere else to get my bottle filled or buy cartridges as the HB shops are closed until at least Monday? I'm in Brisbane.

Am I mistaking the bubblegum taste I've read about for pea and ham soup taste? Did a search and can find nothing about pea and ham but plenty on bubblegum. It's the second time it's happened. Both lagers. First was FWK fermented at lager temps and second was lager kit (not sure which as the...

Thinking my swamp cooler may be tested to the limit on Sunday.

Look at my florian inspired 5L beer engine esky. Was looking at doing the 19L version but did this instead as it fits my needs for now.

Was looking to do the corny esky a la Florian for camping but the need has arisen for a smaller version. Not yet taped, as I only have grey tape and want white, but apart from that, ready for Halloween round a mates while the kids are trying to scare old people. I can already see design...

With the extra time it takes to ferment and the space it will take up in the fridge for however many weeks while its lagering, is it worth the trouble for something that me and the Missus will polish off on a Th/Fri/Sat? Discuss.

Looking for a stout tap or Kilkenny sparkler. I'm in Brisbane so factoring in postage would be wise if you are not.

Seems to be conflicting advice when you google it.

I'm going camping for two nights soon and just wondered what would be the best way to go regarding taking a keg with me.

Hi guys. Over the next few months I'm going to be brewing a lot more beer than I'm drinking and I wondered if it's possible to store fermented beer in cubes for an extended period of time. I keg my beer and both are full at the moment and I don't want to go back to bottling. If it is possible...

What are people's thoughts on drinking a stout that has only been in the bottle for 8 days. Stock getting low as have family here from overseas and they are ripping through it. Other option is to keg a lager that has only cold crashed for 2 days ( total time from 20degrees). I'm determined...

Hi guys. Put a pear cider down for SWMBO About 10 days ago and saw very little in the way of 'action'. Never had a single bubble but I know it has fermented as it's sitting at 1005 and was 1030 after a couple of days (forgot og reading). When I took the last reading it was cloudy and had...

Hi guys. Very new to home brewing and I'm looking for some advice on how to improve on what I'm already fairly happy with. Have made a couple of stouts to date and both are ok but could do with improvement. Mainly mouth feel and head creaminess/retention. Starting point will be Morgans...

Ok guys. Just kegged a lager (Morgans blue mountain) that I thought was started on 21st June but it was actually started on the 24th. I put the fermenter in the fridge on 2nd July so that means it only had 8 days at about 20-22 degrees. Will this be a problem? Starting gravity was 1032 and...
