"Mexican favourite Corona topped the list, followed by low-carb option Pure Blonde and Tooheys."....and that's why the survey aint worth shit.

I remember when this was about Cooper's backpedaling

Initially Coopers were not distancing themselves from it....I don't hear Coopers condemning the use of their product here: From https://coopers.com.au/docs/default-source/default-document-library/coopers-keeping-it-light.pdf Only when people didn't like it did they decide to backpedal...

I have only just realised that I never responded to say that this worked just fine in the end. When I went to use it I just smashed it in the bag with a meat mallet to break it up. It dissolved reasonably easily...easier than the panella did. The beer turned out fine from what I recall...

"dry" is sometimes a relative term, eg: "dry" timber has a moisture content of less than 15%...not exactly dry. I figure that there is some moisture in Dry Malt Extract even if it is a only a little. Though, it may have taken some humidity through the plastic (which are sometimes marginally...

Thanks Guys, Much appreciated. I will give it a whirl! :icon_cheers: EK

I was planning on doing a Ginger Pale Ale experimental with a tin of Ginger beer and a kilo of Light DME that I had purchased a year or two ago and never used. As I check that I still had it, I found that it was no longer the powder, but a solid condensed brick of malt extract. Has anyone used...

I remember reading on the JAO thread (quite some time ago) and someone mentioned that the JAO recipe came from a source/country where the recommended particular bread yeast was quite like a brewing yeast. S05 if I recall correctly. Perhaps the JAO thread is worth a search?

Unfortunately, at the moment the Recipe DB is offline, Many kick off with a Dr Smutro's Golden Ale. Have a look at this post: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/21927-recipedb-drsmurtos-golden-ale/page-34#entry849644 -EK

To describe it there is more of a flat plate that forms part of the base of the urn. There is nothing there that will clag up more than any other urn as far as I am aware. It's fairly easy to clean. My only advice is: don't do the mod that is talked about on this forum....get yourself a proper...

+1 I bought a crown urn with a concealed element, but it only properly boiled for the first few times. I now use it for BIAB, but I drain the unboiled wort into a 60L aluminium stock pot that has been drilled by the guys at Craftbrewer and had a ball valve and 2200W SS element. This does the...

For that price you may as well go the fridge...it could always be useful as a wine fridge if it doesn't work out. The cooler bags are available form annaconda...but are typically $50, sometimes on special for $25. I think they are called "100 Can Coolers". Something similar to this but for 100...

Get a new one from a HBS anyway...a spare comes in handy when one "fails to bounce". :icon_cheers: EK

I brew similarly to how you plan to BIAB, I wouldn't bother with the hop sock myself. I use pelletised hops and they break up almost instantaneously and they settle fairly well with a whirlpool at the end of the boil. I use a simple thermometer (similar to this one) with a bit of string tied to...

Not if it's one of the ones that doesn't have a compressor, apparently they don't have the required cooling power. Also, it's not a bath. It's a cylindrical cooler bag-type thing. Frozen 1.25L coke bottles can just fit in with the fermenter. A hole was cut in the top of the cooler for the...

Do you mean something like a wine fridge that keeps the wine at something like 14 degrees? If so, then do some more searching on AHB as this has been raised before. Apparently, they are not proper fridges and can't cool an active source of heat, like a fermenter. If you just mean something that...

Guys, I have a 40L Crown Urn with the concealed element. After doing some research, I decided not to mod it. Here is why http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...st&p=608682 The thermo-switch that is bypassed (see the beginning of that thread) stops the element from staying at max temp all...

"Relax. Don't Worry. Have a home brew." It will settle in the cube/jerry and it will be easy to leave behind when you pour it into your fermenting vessel. I have done this on a couple of occassions and have left behind a litre of wort with the trub, all went well with the brew. Also, I have...

+1 for Northside! :icon_cheers: EK

Paranoid Agnostic. meaning: I'm not sure, but I think something is out to get me.
