Hi all, I have made over 50 brews now in a bit over a year of having my Crown urn (BIAB) but recently, one of the kids was hitting a tennis ball against a wall near the urn, and the ball must have hit the sightglass, and it cracked near the base where the sightglass screws into an elbow. Has...

I have made a string of Galaxy malt/rice lagers for the summer but now have an idea to brew an IPA using only Pride of Ringwood hops. A search of the interweb didn't help me out much, and it seems that POR is mainly used for bittering early on in the boil, and rarely late. Has anyone ever...

I have just built myself a tight arse stir plate using a couple of those 'rattlesnake egg' type magnets that I think Ross and several others are using. I have just pitched some yeast from a brew that is fermenting already to see how it goes growing the little buggers, but have some questions...

I have been reading the threads on over the side immersion heaters with interest since I have discovered that during winter, boils are quite average using my 40 litre Crown urn, and I have had to resort to boiling part of the wort on the stove to get to my target gravities in reasonable time...

Hi all, Just went outside to check on the hops plant (Pride of Ringwood), as it has been raining here in Adelaide for several days now, and noticed that some of the leaves are covered in a white powder, which seems to be powdery mildew. I have noticed in the past few weeks that the plant has...

Hi all, After what seems like ages researching, procrastinating and what not, I am going to do my first AG tomorrow. I have bought a Crown 40 litre urn, got SWMBO to knock me up a Swiss voile bag, and bought the hops and grain. I am making Dr Smurto's golden ale clone, read too much about it...

Hi all, I am very close to getting into AG finally, and have chosen BIAB as the way to get there. I am trying to decide which 40 litre urn to buy, and it seems to some down to a choice between; Jomack Birko Crown Of all the ones I have priced including delivery, it seems that the Jomack is...

Hi all, I have had the misfortune to have my 5kg CO2 fire extinguisher leak from the valve in the handle for the 3rd time now, and despite being replaced each time, it still happens. I leave my gas on constantly, because I gas up my kegs at serving pressure, which normally takes over a week...

Hi all, hoping I might be able to get some help in locating CO2 bulbs for a keg charger in Adelaide. They are the same size as the ones used for cream dispensers, but I haven't had any luck finding any so far. Going away on a trip to Marion Bay for a few days, and we have 4 kegs to pour from...

Been asked to make a Weizenbier for an outing in late November, and was wondering if anyone could point me to a good Weizenbier kit to make. Never made one before obviously, so are there any special things to remember when making these? Is there a minimum time the beer should be left before...
