Hi, I'm chasing a cheap tap so I can keep a keg of soda water alongside my beers so there's a non alcoholic option for the non drinkers. It doesn't need be pretty, as long as I can mount it through the door, pourwater and shut it off properly I'll be happy. If anyone has an old tap laying...

Hi all I have a bunch of Surinam cherry trees growing around my place, a couple of them have started to fruit. They drop a lot of fruit each summer and generally make a mess, so this year I've decided to harvest and do something with them. So far I've collected from 3 trees for two days and...

Hi all, I got a few in me yesterday and decided to throw together a random recipe with what I had laying around. 3l boil for 40min, 1/3 tin of extract in boil. 1.5kg Morgans Amber LME 1kg DME 500g Maltodextrin 500g Dextrose 40m 10g mosaic 11% 30m 10g cluster 7.9% 30m 10g centennial 9.9%...

Hi all. Just wondering what could cause bad head retention. I've made this extract brew 5 times, the third rendition is kegged and tapped now. Ive always force carbed to 140kpa, in the same fridge at the same temp, followed the same recipe but have been playing around with more/other hops...

Hi all, I threw a can of coopers pale ale on this morning as a quick and easy while waiting for an extract brew to boil. I used the can of goo, 600g dextrose, 200g lme and 200g maltodextrin. The starting gravity seemed a bit lower than I'm used to, at 1036. The wort was around 24°c when I...

Afternoon all. Just finished a morning of brewing, started a couple, kegged a couple, drank a couple.. This morning I was doing an extract S&W Pacific, as its been my go to recipe since starting, and never had a bad one, so I stick with it. Its Earle's recipe found here in the forums. Today...

Looks like that's where it's staying until it empties. At least it was sanitised. What happened? I had a problem with a dip tube that kept clogging, so I figured I'd put a filter made out of stainless braid on the end of it. All was going well, I tightened the hose clamp to the tube inside the...

Hey all. Not sure where to post this since its not quite ag and its not quite k&k. I recently bought a FWK from craftbrewer, to put a second easy brew on alongside my extract brew. Since I have a handful of FV's it seemed like a good idea to throw a quick one alongside the usual brew. They...

Hi all. I've been the sorry owner of a pair of aliexpress flow control taps for the past week and I thought I'd share. I upgraded from a single bronco to a pair of flow control door mounted taps. I paid 19 a piece for them. I paid a bit extra on postage but that's because I'm an impatient...

Maybe I'm crazy, but I want to experiment with using different substitutes for dextrose in brewing. So far I've had good luck with bickford's cordials in place of dextrose in ciders. It completely ferments out and leaves a slight flavouring behind, then I back sweeten at kegging. I've been...

Hi all. I'm throwing together a two tap kegerator out of an old 420l all fridge (no freezer). I've worked out I can fit 2-6 kegs in it, depending on what fermenter is crash cooling in there at that time. As I was reading about needing to keep beer lines and taps cool, has anyone tried...

Looking for a pair of ball lock 19l corny kegs in good condition. Will travel as far as caboolture to beenleigh to collect. If you have any you're willing to part with let me know. Cheer.
