Hi guys, never thought I would be asking this question, but is my kettle too big? I was given (fairly cheaply) a 82L stainless steel pot, one of those Chinese jobs with relatively thin sides. Anyway, I am currently only doing extract (in a smaller pot) and am quite new to brewing still. I have...

Hey guys So it turns out I unfortunately was not paying attention on ebay. I bought what looked like an STC 1000 without confirming that it actually was indeed one. I have ended up with a device that looks extremely similar. Has anyone else wound up with or used one of these...

Hey guys, So there are plenty of threads both here and elsewhere covering pitching sufficient viable yeast to a new beer for many obvious reasons. What I could not find much on however was estimating the viability or cell count of yeast harvested from commercial bottle dregs. I've never tried...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has had a success brewing a high alcohol content style Belgian beer from a kit? I know Mangrove Jack's offers a Belgian style can, i'm not sure of any other brands that do. Has anyone tried adding a good quality Belgian style yeast and other stuff to try...
