Hi, This may be a stupid question but has anyone got guidance/photos for drilling the hole through the freezer lid when fitting a font. I have bought a font and measured up the nipple and the lid thickness and they are both about 50mm which means I have no nipple left to bolt onto. Am I...

Hi, I posted this issue in the Yeast Rinsing Experiment - Yeast Vs Trub/break thread but haven't managed to get any responses and thought it might be due to the old thread or maybe I didn't give enough information. Anyway, basic issue is that I am trying to rinse my yeast for the first time...

I brewed a Dr Smurto's Golden Ale (rye version) but substituted in Simcoe as the hop (still bittered to 30IBU including 30g additions at 5 mins and 0 mins), from my notes it seemed to taste OK when fermenting but now I've kegged it all I am getting is the beer (malty) flavour and nothing from...

Not brewed in a while (guessing about a year) but had my first attempt at the Bullheads Kolsch recipe. The recipe calls for a three step mash, mash in at 52, then raise to 64, raise again to 71 and then mash out. I'm using a Crown urn so I followed the advice in the thread on mashing in...

Everyone, Just a heads up that I have put my brewing fridge up for sale (North Sydney). Used it over the past couple of years but have to sell it, can fit two fermenters in there, never missed a beat and happily drops down to 0 (actually think below) for crash chilling. Fridge is a...

Moved to kegging so giving away my bottles. Five and a half handy crates of brown bottles of varying sizes, 330, 568, 700 and 750 I think. Come as a job lot and with a spare crate. Christopher

So I bought all my gear for my new keezer and managed to order the wrong sized kegs for it. The ones I have are approximately 58cm high and 23cm in diameter and have had the posts, lids and seals replaced but I'm really after the taller skinnier ones. Is anyone interested in swapping their...

Looking into getting into kegging and thought I might see if anyone else is looking to get out (I know, wishful thinking right)? I'm looking for a 2 - 4 keg system, preferably a keezer as due to space limitations this will be sitting in my living room and I think a keezer has more opportunity...

Hey, I've finally got my beer to ferment down to an expected FG of around 1012, I've been using Mangrove Jack M03 on a split batch and all three brews stopped about ten points high, anyway, I got them all going again after raising the temp and finally having to stir them with a sanitised spoon...

Hi, Currently lagering my second attempt at a lager (from a can). Using Mangrove Jack's M84 which has been in the fermenter for what seems to be an eternity, anyway, I've been lagering for a couple of weeks now at 5C and will continue to do that for another couple of weeks but I was wondering...

Hi, I've done a few kit recipes now and am thinking that I want to move to BIAB next, still got a couple of brews to come before then. The thing is I'm not a huge drinker but like the whole brewing process and trying out new types of beer, at first I was thinking of possibly doing BIAB in a...

First time brewing lager, first time using liquid yeast (WLP833) and first time making a yeast starter, possibly not the best combination. Anyway, I followed the instructions from the Basics of Making and Using a Yeast Starter (very good) but I was thinking something should have happened by now...

OK starter for ten, I've read a good number of the yeast starter threads now and I am still a bit confused. When everyone talks about a 2l, 3l or 4l yeast starter does that mean that you harvest the yeast that you get from 2l, 3l or 4l of wort and not that you need 2l, 3l or 4l of actual yeast...

Anyone got any pint bottles for sale? I've got a few Little Creatures bottles that are a great size for a cheeky evening drink but nowhere near enough for a full brew.

Would like a small fridge (or upright freezer) for single 30l fermenter, happy to pick up. Thanks, Christopher
