So far I have a few All Grain brews under my belt and have not yet done a PH test on any of them. I have been doing a bit of reading about PH testing and have read that I may be able to improve my efficiency (my efficiency currently sit at about the mid 60% range) by adjusting the PH. What is...

I have been going through a few recipes which I really want to make. So far I have avoided these recipes because there are a few terms that I am not quite sure about. I apologise in advance if these questions have been asked before, I have had a crack with search and was unable to find what I...

About an hour later SWMBO was giving the kitchen a post brewing inspection and asked what this little bit of plastic was. I forgot to put the sediment reducer back in the...

I'm sure these questions have been asked before and I'm sure I may have read the answers but I am getting paranoid about temperature and I need clarafication. I have brew kit in my loungeroom and I have the climate control sat at a constant 19 deg c. If the air temp is 19 deg c will the liquid...

This might be a silly question but the thread on how many fermenters got me thinking. I have a fermenter which was my first and scarily it is coming up for 10 years of service. I use it regularly and don't have any problems. It is still snow white and has had the taps and seals repalced...
