Whats the best option when it comes to using yeast for brewing 2 small identical batches one after the other? I normally get 11-12l batches due to equipment restraints and im using M44 yeast for the first time. Split a 10g pack of M44, rehydrate and pitch for each batch? Pitch the whole 10g in...

I've harvested my fairly modest first year Chinook plants and i'm planning a small brew. I'm thinking pale ale malt, a 60min clean bittering hop addition, like Magnum or Warrior, and then chuck half the Chinook flowers in at flameout and the other half dry hop. I do stovetop BIAB with 19l pot...

Got a few bits and pieces left over from previous brews i'd like to get rid of, wanting some opinions on whether or not this would turn out ok? American Pale Ale style. Iv'e got a little bit more magnum but other than that, that's everything i've got lying around going into the recipe. Batch...

Ive been doing mini biab with the big w 19l pot, small batches mean I can brew regularly but the downside is a good beer disappears too quickly! Other than a 30l esky and fermenter, I don't really have any other equipment for brewing. If you had another $100-$200 to spend, how would you upgrade...

I've done 2 mini biab now, end up with 12-13l in the fermenter. Still got some efficiency issues to work out, both brews have ended up about 10 points short of expected gravity but the 10g pack of us-05 I have pitched dry has fermented out pretty quickly and finished 6 points lower than expected...

Knocked out my first BIAB a month ago and overall im pretty happy with how it turned out but my efficiency was a bit off. Just trying to get a better understanding of where I went wrong and looking for a few pointers for the next one please. Firstly, my pre-boil volume was out by a couple of...

Just got this book in the mail yesterday. Anyone else reading/following the guys journey? Press release about it here http://blackhops.com.au/press-release-operation-brewery-book/ I can't even remember how I heard about this brewery, never been there or tried any of their beers, but I saw an ad...

Does anyone grow a small amount of hops in their backyard and harvest the rhizomes each year to sell for a bit of beer money? Got a decent amount of garden with a basic irrigation system in place already. When I moved in the gardens were pretty badly overgrown so I have slowly ripped most of it...

Hey, my first attempt at home brewing earlier this year didn't go exactly to plan. I bought a kit and tried to keep things simple to start with. Against all the advice here, I used the kit yeast and justified it to myself saying things like "it's my first go" and " well I already have it here"...

Hi guys, going to have a crack at my first BIAB soon, hoping to end up with a Cascade heavy APA. Got a 19l stock pot and a small esky as equipment, ive tried to scale a recipe i found with beersmith and the ingredients are as follows... 2.63kg Pale Malt 2 Row 0.17kg Crystal Malt 60L 14g Perle @...

Hi AHB, been a long time lurker on the forums and have been reading way too much into my first brew so last week I finally got myself a starter kit from the local brew shop! I was given a copy of Jack Fabers "Brewing Better Beer" a while ago and found it quite easy to follow, has anyone else...
