I recently got a new 2.6KG CO2 bottle from KL and I ordered a new (cheap) regulator off ebay (Chinese seller). Both have arrived and all looked fine however I cannot for the life of me get the regulator to connect to the bottle, the threads look like they are same or similar size but it will...

I'm attempting a NEIPA unfortunately I have been unable to source the recommend London ale yeasts WY 1318 or WLP013. I have the following available hence looking for advice on which to use WLP023 Burton Nottingham S04 S05 BRY97 I was originally thinking the Burton but they say it gives fruity...

Putting a brew on Saturday and I wanted to match the Bru N Water profile for Hoppy Pale Ale, with my Mel SE water as a base Beersmith recommends ~14g of Gypsum to match the profile. My LHBS (not so local anymore) has 500g of Calcium Sulphate for $10, given its now a hike for me I was wandering...

I just kegged my first AG brew, a Dr Smurto Golden Ale. Prior to this I had done a fair few extract/part grain brews for LCPA Clones or IPA's with one lager (which we shall discount for this thread). In the Extract/Grain beers I have used Mosaic/Zythos combo a couple of times, a Single Ella IPA...

Just got back from 10 day camping trip and went out to transfer my fermentor to keg. The beer had finished fermenting and was cold crashing under temp control unfortunately the Mrs wanted to freeze some stuff using the freezer so I just plugged into mains but never checked the fridge cool...

OK, So driven 7hrs from melbs up to Pambula, keg in the new 15l cooler and still cool on arrival, great, let's fire her up. 3 x 74g CO2 bottles to gas.. Check Gas connect and regulator...WTF So looks like in the stress of packing the trailer I've left the gas connect and regulator back home...

Given I want my first AG brewday to go as smoothly as possible and to allow me to capture some equipment details for my new Guten I thought I would pull together a spreadsheet with steps in it for my day. I've learned so much from this site I'd like to give a little back, hopefully will be of...

My Guten arrives tomorrow and I'm going to put on my first AG brew this weekend, Ive done some research and I'm going to go with the well recomended Dr Smurto Golden Ale. I've downloaded the Beersmith 2 app and printed out the receipe however I have a question on the boil size and mash...

I hooked up my Inkbird to my fridge yesterday and put in a lager for fermenting. The instructions say to ferment at 15C for 3 days then 3 days at 18C for diecetly rest. At the moment I have the inkbird set to at 14.5 (+/- 1), I've noticed the probe reading is around the 14.5C but the temp on...

My 2nd brew was finalised about a week ago, its a LCPA clone I bought from liqourcraft and its their best selling kit so I think it must generally brew well. I thought I followed all the instructions correctly and the OG/FG readings had me nicely at 5.2 %ABV so I was quite excited until I took...

Can anyone recommend a good strong hydrometer, I'm only on my 2nd Brew and I've broken two of the glass ones already, they don't bounce well Given my current strike rate I reckon I need buy in bulk or find one that's more robust, are there any plastic or steel ones available, I don't mind...

My mate has a couple of these which he is offering to me but these have very different connections than the corny kegs i have. I'm unsure if it's worth bothering with them as I would need to buy New connector, any idea on what I need to use these so I can Price up.

I'm about to do my first keg carbonation, I have read the FC article on here and lots of others on the web but I still am a little unclear on some aspects. The guy I bought my kegs off (clever brewing) advised about trying to FC too fast with high pressure as he said it ruins the beer, I've...

I've just kegged up my first beer and its now time to clean the fermenter, when I bought my kegs I also bought some Sodium Percarbonate to clean them and some Star-San to sanitse. Just wandering if its ok to use the Sodium Percarbonate on the plastic fermenter or if thats not suitable for plastic?
