I'm going to do this again on the weekend (2nd time). I'll report back shortly

Sorry for delay, thought I'd have a look if anyone responded since my original post. Hahahah - wars star again <- this = good, promotes discussion. WEAL - thank you for responding. Your obviously monitoring. Maybe some of us can make a few posts that are worth responding on. Happy to see some...

Good to hear that you can get these, but $220 for a Corny! No wonder I brew my own.

I was brewing regularly a few years ago, then Covid hit and I ended up moving houses, so havent been on this site since then. Just resurrected the gear and started again, just wondering where WEAL has gone. No recent posts. He may have ruffled a few feathers, but he certainly knew his stuff...

Can understand the cleaning advantage, my coil is a little bit of a pain to clean. But, why is jacketed better for dry hopping?

Might as well chuck an anchovy in the wort and see how good it goes.

Good luck, hopefully you will soon taste the best ever beer you have had.

Well, if you vote Liberal/Country that what you get. Higher taxes (yes thats true). Power prices thru the roof, abolishment/denial of anything to do with science. And of course higher beer costs. Aussie beer loving nation pay the 4th highest amount in the world on beer tax...

Curious / calc the cost $$$. Jacketed vs Immersion running costs to keep the temp. I have a 66ltr SS BrewTech, its not jacketed. I use a glycol chiller plus the supplied heater to regulate the temp. Just wondering, the cheaky kit looks great. Is it "that"much cheaper to run? Isnt that the...

All gone fella's, theres a happy customer out there :)

I have 2 sacks of Voyager malt to giveaway for free. (or a 6 pack of nice Pale ale if your feeling generous) Why? - Because Im moving house and not sure when Im brewing next so just need to make some room. Im located in Ormond. Message me, and Ill provide you my mobile and address. You need...

I know that one brilliant

Yes your right, I usually do this, mostly I use Beersmith, print the recipe and then go. As there was no "printout" I forgot

Oops, I forgot. That probably explains it. I usually always use whirfloc

Update. Last night tasted this experimental beer for the first time. Very Very cloudy. Not at all clear despite crash cooling and some 2 x tablespoon of Biofine clear. So this is the first thing I noticed. As its cloudy, I expect the yeast flavour to have some dominance, but Im not sure...

Fermentation down to 1010 3 days ago. Crash cooling to 2.5C for 3 days now because I hadnt cleaned the kegs in time, so I will keg tomorrow.

This is a really good question, and the comments are also great. For me, Im a bit of a pisshead, I cant wait to drink my next brew. I usually brew 2 kegs at a time, sometimes 3. I start to drink it about a week after kegging. BY the time the second keg is ready to drink, I really appreciate the...

Use Vinegar

Well, the theory goes that its only an extra hour of brew time because of 2nd mash, that didnt up being true, it was way longer. Yeah, after my first attempt, Im thinking re-iterated is not the best way to go. But if I did 2 brews, In reckon I'd still be out there cleaning now, so saves at...

I have a 66 litre fermenter (ferments 60L), but with the Guten 50L Ive only been able to get 40L into it. So today I decided to try a re-iterated mash, and attempt to get 60L at around 1.048. I didn't find any decent techniques documented so I sort of made it up as I went along. Also, I wanted...
