Hi all, I hope this is the right place to be posting this. My lovely wife just gifted to me a 40L guten :D, a very happy man I am. However I have bumped into an issue, I can not for the life of me work out how to save a program. I fiddled with the guten this evening to clean it out, familiarise...

I spoke to the gent who got me my yeast that I used for the starter (it's from his "Library") and he reckons it was https://www.wyeastlab.com/hb_yeaststrain_detail.cfm?ID=69 (#3944).

It's been three weeks since bottling this brew, I grabbed a bottle of Hoegaarden to compare against. Got the wife to pour into identical glasses and compared side by side. Given the expected colour difference, I kept my eyes closed and used only my sense of smell and taste. The nose on mine...

I've made a couple of beers based on the Hop Slam (UK) and the Fruit Salad Ale recipes from their website. I modified the FSA a little bit: For the FSA I used the following: 1x 1.7kg Coopers Australian Pale Ale Can 1x 1.5kg Extra Pale Malt Extract Can 150gm Simpsons Medium Crystal Malt 20gm...

Good call on the yeast. Brain was a bit of a fuzz when I visited the local HBS and did not articulate the style clearly. The Fuggles and the citric were used in the brew that a mate had made in his AG setup, and the Mrs specifically asked me to make something close to that beer (I liked it too)...

Greetings, I am looking at converting a Witbier recipe that I got from the Seven Barrel Brewery book into an extract based recipe and thought that I would post it here for QA before attempting to make it. First, the AG recipe. My proposed conversion to extract brew Once the boil was done mix...

Does anyone know if these are available all set up with the 2x standard aussie 240V sockets all set up?

Thanks for the responses all. I'll have to find the IBU rating for the ESB kit. Plenty of opportunity to play and find the "right" combo that ends up working, and to see what changes different handling of the chocolate malts give in regards to steeping method (pitching @ 70C vs overnight cold...

I thought I'd post up some things that I have been doing, and seek for thoughts and feed back. Back on 10/May I bottled an ESB 3K "Extra Special" Stout kit, which I'd added 200gm of simpsons chocolate malt steeped in 2L water (process was to bring 2L water to the boil, turn off the gas, toss in...

Will leave it alone until next weekend. I'm fortunate in that I got handed down a heap of equipment to add to my own, I now have three fermenters to play with. So I laid down the dutch lager last night (just popped the yeast in this morning as the wort got down to 12-15C overnight), so they're...

The ESB stout I did to 18 litres I taste tested one last night (13 days - a bit early) and while carbonation is a little low (cooler weather I'd think), the flavour of it is fantastic. The S189 was Morgans Golden Saaz Pilsner kit with CBW Pilsen Light pure malt extract spent the first few days...

I currently use brew your own at home down at Kambah for my advice and supplies, great place. Thanks for the feedback - I'll do some more research re: yeast and preparing prior to pitching, I've currently just been using the packets - my suspicion with the stout was a cold snap made it...

Hi, Joined recently after getting back into brewing after a 10 year or so hiatus. A wee bit of a wine w^Hsnob but enjoy drinking most forms of fermented beverages, really want to get in and understand them well. Started with a cider, then did a stout, and have a pilsner sitting out there...
