    Over thinking it?

    I have 2 brite tanks connected to my flooded font, which is attached to a stainless steel bench. I have a glycol chiller, and the brites (serving) tanks are chilled using that. I do not run the glycol 24/7 for my beer lines/font loop, and only turn it on if I am going to be having a few, so...

    Can Conditioning.

    Has anyone tried can conditioning instead of bottle conditioning? If so, how did it go, is there a specific beer level you targeted, as in, how much head space do you leave in the can? Thanks Daz

    Propylene Glycol from Vape Stores

    Hi, I was just wondering if there would be any issue with using Glycol sold in vape stores? it's 99.7% food grade. I live in Newcastle and it's a lot cheaper to buy a 5Ltr of Glycol from the local vape store than it is to get it shipped up from Melbourne. I cannot see it being an issue, but...

    For Sale - Icemaster G40 Newcastle

    Dry Hop, Hop Creep, and D-Rest

    I have a few questions/theories regarding the above and would appreciate any insight. With dry hopping, the general consensus was to dry Hop with 2-3 Plato left so that the yeast would devour any oxygen that was introduced. But, now with hop creep, is that necessary? As in, if the dry hopping...

    Carbonation Stone.

    Hi guys, I know that you have to find the wetting pressure of your stone, as in the amount of psi needed before the carbonation stone will create it's mist of bubbles, and for every 28 inches of beer height in the tank above the stone you add 1 psi, and add this figure to the psi you are...

    Tinseth hop calculations and whirlpool

    Hi, if you are having a 10 min whirlpool hop addition, would you in theory add 10 mins to each hop additions utilisation (Tinseth formula), as effectively the hops are in contact with wort for an extra 10 mins before cooling? Eg, the 60 min addition adds 70 mins worth of ibu's with the 10 min...

    Fermenter Fan

    Hi, I have done a search, but nothing definitive has come up. I have purchased a 240v hydroponic fan for my upright freezer converted to fermentation chamber, controlled by stc-1000. Do I have the fan on at all times?, or just have it switch on when the freezer switches on? The fan has over...
