Summer is coming up, and mates are starting to pop around for the odd beer or 3. Most of these guys aren't what you call beer connoisseurs. They just like your average beer, and they like it cold. So I've brewed plenty of simple beers to get me through the summer. I have a keg system, and one...

Anybody have any experience with these? I bought one of these a few months ago and it’s been absolutely brilliant. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-White-Digital-Thermostat-for-Reptile-Snake-Aquarium-Mat-Lamp-2000W-/111798979290?hash=item1a07bd0ada:g:X8oAAOSwI-BWIOFY Coupled with a cheap reptile...

Evening lads. Been out of brewing for a LONG time. Must be 4 or 5 years now. Thought it was high time I got back on board, so yesterday I went down to the LHBS and brought some basic supplies, and kits to do 4 brews. 1x ESB Belgian Golden Ale 5 litre FWK, 1x Draught Can with brew enhancer with...

I keep reading about it, but I have never actually done it. Apparently one of my brewing fridges has decided it wants to be a freezer now. I went out to the garage to check on my 2 fermenters. 1 fridge was sitting beautifully at -2o, but the other "fridge" was sitting at around -13o! Needless to...

Basically I was just curious. Everyone has heard of going on a winery tour where you jump on a bus and go around to 4 or 5 wineries in an afternoon. And we've all been a brewery tour whereby you just walk around one brewery for a couple of hours. I have done winery tours of the Yarra and Swan...

As I mentioned in a post a week or so ago, i'm going to attempt my first lager, probably this weekend. Just received some good Saflager yeast and hops plugs in the mail, and was thinking of boiling some hops (first time boiling hops, only ever dry hopped) and adding it to this lager. I'm still...

I've done a bit of reading around on the site, but I've found this to be quite a confusing subject, so I thought I would make sure I have all this right. I had a read on howtobrew.com, I just wanna make sure I have taken it all in. OK. I have probly done about 30 brews so far, and things are...

I searched for this and couldn't find anything relating directly to it. I have a FWK Pilsner in the secondary at the moment, dry hopping with some Saaz pellets, and a high alcohol Coopers Cerveza (can of Cerveza, 1kg BE, 1kg Dex, topped to 20L) in the primary. Both have been in their respective...

I know a lot of you probly saw this thread and straight away thought "Why didn't he use the search?". Well, truth is I did. I have seen the Forced carbonation method, but my situation is a little different in that I can't use this method as it's sposed to be used. OK. I have a keg setup in my...

I have recently done a K&K which is just about finished its time in the primary and is almost ready to rack into the secondary. I have some Saaz hops pellets I just bought that I was gonna drop in there inside this old little tea ball thingy I found. I don't know what its called, but it'd just a...

Firstly, sorry if this has been mentioned. I couldn't find it using search. I am flat out at the moment and will be for the next few weeks which leaves very little time for brewing. Normally I would pay a visit to my HBS, but I just don't think I will have the time as I live about half an hour...

OK, I hate to beg, but here goes... After what feels like an eternity, I have finally started getting a pretty good "den" going at home. So far it's basically just a small room with a cowhide rug and it has a few beer ornaments like Oktoberfest steins and other beer type stuff. I have a modest...

I'm sorry if this has been covered before. I searched and searched and couldn't find anything that just lists peoples Brewery names or beer names. There is the thread titled Beer Labels And Logos; http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...=10171&st=0 But that tends to deal more with the...

I went to my brew shop today to pick up a Fresh Wort Kit (at the recommendation of people from this site, I'll brew it up this arvo). Anyway, whilst there, I had my usual chat with the owner of the store. He's a pretty good guy who seems to knows his stuff. I was talking to him about gassing up...

I recently completed a new K&K brew and put it in the keg and in the fridge. Chilled it down to about 4 degrees and using Wortgames excellent chart for gassing up kegs, put the gas on at about 12-13psi. This is slightly higher than what Wortgames chart recommends, but I like my beer a little...

First of all I'm pretty new to this home brew stuff, particularly the taps and kegging side of things, so excuse my ignorance. Here goes... I received a while back a keg setup as a gift. I have 2 taps. The one in this picture came from a pub and was a present with my kegging setup. It looks as...

OK. So my brew is done fermenting and I'm keen to get it on the gas so I can drink it soon. Only problem is I haven't got my fridge all setup and drilled to keep the gas on it. I dont have a decent drill either, thats why its not done yet. I plan to get it all done soon, but like I said, I just...

This question may be daft. Im pretty sure I know the answer, but I thought for the sake of a quick forum post I can be completely sure. Is there any problems/issues that can arise from having my gas bottle for my keg setup laying down. I have my keg fridge sitting up on a small table to bring...

I have recently gotten myself a keg system, and after a disappointing first batch outta the keg, I have been trying to make a better beer. I refined my brewing procedure, and hope that I have brewed a better beer (I'm still on K+Ks tho). Anyway, fermentation is pretty much done, and another area...

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I searched and searched and couldnt find anything. I recently was gifted with a keg setup from some mates (it was a wedding present, the Mrs loved it, haha), and was planning trying to set it all up right this weekend (drill holes for taps etc). They...
