Hey, I've brewed a coffee chocolate stout and have a nice coffee taste but it's lacking the chocolate. I have used 200grms of coco nibs after fermentation, first 100 and then another 100. Am I not using enough or could I be doing something else to extract the flavours? Advice would be greatly...

Anyone upgrading or wanting to offload a mill in Brisbane? I thought I had purchased one but he decided to sell to someone else.

So I put down a brew that called for a 20gr (20l) dry hop. I got it mixed up with another and kegged and carbed it. So if I hop in the keg, do I allow it to warm, use more hops, put in a hop bag and leave till the keg is finished or pull it out after a few days. Armarilo hops. I know there...

Hey, to aerate my no chill cubes I simply whack the spoon in the end of a drill and give it a good spin for a few minutes. Yeast is sprinkled onto top of the 2inch layer of foam created. Would there be any benefit in going back at a later date and giving it another spin to mix the yeast in? If...

So I knocked over my gas bottle and busted my regulator. It was a tescuo. As far as I can tell it did what it needed to do. So now I'm in the market for a new one. The prices range from $50 upwards. What do I get for paying extra money? Also, is there a limit to the amount of kegs that can...

Not sure if this is recommended, but it's what I gave been doing so far. Spoon into the drill and a few minutes giving it a good mix. Afterwards I have about 30cm of thick foam on top. Sometimes I rehydrate the yeast and as I pour it in it mixes straight in. But When I sprinkle the yeast...
