    BIAB disaster - bag split open in the kettle mid-mash

    You will probably end up with the best beer you have ever made, and unable to ever recreate it. We have all been there in one way or another :) you will still end up with beer 👌

    Coopers XPA

    Coopers XPA is a staple on tap at my place. I use Ale (tried BB/JW and MO), little wheat and some dark crystal to give it the colour. Simple hop schedule - Simcoe and Lemondrop @ 60, and again dry hopping after 5 days. Comes out stupidly close to the commercial version. I also only use Coopers...

    All Grain - is it substantially better beer?

    I am guessing $ isn't an issue... One thing (not the #1 reason) that I love about AG brewing, is the cost. The main reason is tinkering with recipes, and making absolutely unique beers. I buy sacks of base malt for $40 delivered (here in SA we do regular bulk buys). So that is $1.60 per kg...

    Water volume calculation

    I actually sat down and thought about it before I brewed, and realised whether you brew 5l or 50l your boil off evap rates will be the same... Bear in mind I do not ever measure pre boil volumes because I am lazy, something I intend to change asap (after 14 years of brewing haha) I wound up...

    Massive brewery sale - SS Brewtech, PID, HERMS, Mash tun, kegs etc

    Ah ok mate thanks. The kettle is tempting, however the postage makes it a bit unviable. The Brewtech cooling kit looks like a bit good of gear too... GL with the rest of the sale. Cheers
