    Dry hopping techniques

    Waste of time cold. Vdk pass then in. For more utility and if using a tank with ports bubble with 5 psi daily for a few mins, you would be amazed at how many float or sink.

    Is there any place in NSW that sells new 50 L commercial kegs (empty) ?

    Bah, the kegs ex Major in china are AB Inbev approved which if you have been thru that process (2 times for me) you will know is exhaustive and indesputable. Ab has not bought German kegs for 4 odd years, 30 % cheaper and passed the quality tests.

    Home brewer to pro brewer

    Did the council or the cops dictate growlers only? Bit concerned they can define this when the legal facility does not restrict under the Liquor Act. If it is a preferene for the business there are plenty of small machinery options. Growler supply has not been the best with c19

    Fermentation stuck at 1020

    Check your thermometer is reading the correct temp, the pH and yeast health. Main 3 issues why yeast poops out. Even though you pumped oxygen in it does not mean it dissolved. When I used to run Ringwood ale I would pump on fot the first 24 hours

    Exploring craft brewery lagers - what are they doing differently?

    The 80c hop step I have never understood. It's commercially impractical and the one fella I knew with a system capable stopped it and just pulled hops from the boil. The most important aspect is healthy yeast, nutrient and oxygen. There are no ifs or buts about it. Fermentation management...

    Hi everyone (Gluten free brewing)

    Sorry to labour, but does the supplier make the claim? I’ve used this product extensively to stop polyphenol haze pickup in small pack and I cannot remember any other information than cutting gluten to less than 20ppm. And it can only be labelled ‘gluten reduced’. So again, no claims made, up to...

    Hi everyone (Gluten free brewing)

    How can you say it is not safe? Clarity firm reduces gluten and is below the US FDA limits. We have a tighter limit in AU. Not sure on the research needed, it is made by one of the largest firms for process aids in the world. AG at TwoBays has just commissioned a purely GF plant and I hunk they...

    Could be mould, or protein. No stress. Most of the 2 part concoctions are clear and a caustic mix with a peroxide booster. The potassium ‘1 shot’ is a pink colour from Bracton. There is also an enzyme product, but change was too hard for the industry to take. I will check but it’s about 50c a...

    Glycol plate chillers for beer

    All on the size of the ice bank and how much you are pouring. A small bar doing 10l an hour is very different than Coogee beach hotel that does 500 x 50l a week. It is all about peak pouring periods, aka 4-8pm on a friday night. The smaller venues will see the ice bank rebuild, but won't...

    Glycol plate chillers for beer

    Hi there Bit of confusion of systems here. PM me and I can send details via email. For a long draw beer system, cool room at 4c, beer runs thru python with plate heat exchange situated below bar with flooded font. Glycol at negative temps knocks back any heat pickup in-line and drops back to...
