Hi all, I had some spare time in the shed the other day and I was experimenting with making a coil with some left over copper pipe I had. I was originally going to use it for a different purpose (That shall remain nameless [emoji6]) but it wasn't quite long enough or skinny enough for that use...

Hi all, I'm looking for a magnetic drive pump for a brauduino setup and I came across this on Ali Express: Link Would this be sufficient for recirc in a 40L crown urn? It has similar specs to the Keg King version and comes with stainless head at this price (!) but it is only 10w not 25w so I'm...

Hi all, I'm after some advice/opinions from people who have already gone down the brewing control route: I haven't posted in ages because I've barely had time to brew for ages, but the bug has bitten again and now that I'm on holidays, I'm looking to build an automated system (or at least...

I've been kegging for a while but I like to take my own beer camping and I camp a fair bit. I don't like to carb in the bottle for this because the sediment gets stirred up in transit so I've got two carbonation caps. My question is: If I want to carb up several bottles and, thus, have to swap...

I did a quick search but couldn't find much info. I thought I would find something so I might have just searched like a noob. So, to all the no chillers out there like me: What's longest you've kept a no chill cube before pitching? and was final beer good? or infected? or in any way off...

I've brewed a German Pilsner for an upcoming party: BeerSmith 2 Recipe Printout Recipe: Deutsch Pils Style: German Pilsner (Pils) TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Batch Size (fermenter): 46.00 l Estimated OG: 1.047 SG Estimated Color: 7.1 EBC Estimated IBU...

Hi all, I've done a bit of searching here and on Craftbrewer, where I bought my urn from, and I can't find my answer: Does anyone know what size thread is on the shank of the tap in a 40L crown urn and how it is sealed? I can't see any kind of washer in there but maybe it's covered by the nut...

G'day all. I've been kegging for a while now and only bottle for long term storage in champagne bottles, SO..... I've got 246 stubbies (mostly brown, with some green and some corona) and 36 tallies (all brown) that need a new home. About 90% have had all labels removed. They're dusty but...

G'day all, Over the past 6 months to a year I've done more dark brews than I used to as well as drinking more darker commercial beers and I seem to have noticed that I get more headaches during a session (maybe from dehydration?) as well as more hangover-like symptoms the next day when drinking...

I did a quick search to find out if amount of trub increases proportionally for a double batch or if it is more, or less, proportionally than for a single. Only one post had much to say and suggested that it's only 20% more for a double. However, this was based on the experience of only one...

Hey guys, I'm keen to come up with a decent RIP so I had a look on the recipe DB and found only one russian imperial stout recipe by Peas and Corn. I like the look of it but I'm after half the volume and I really want a chocolatey, almost liquerish finish so can I please get some...

I recently brewed a very basic pale ale. I used only a single bittering addition, knowing that overly hop-flavoured beers sometimes scare off some of my megaswill drinking mates. I kegged it and tried it the other day and it's too bland. 4.50 kg Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (5.9 EBC) 0.35 kg...

After accumulating gear slowly over the past few months and thanks to some generosity from a mate who just upgraded his system, I'll finally be doing my first AG brew this weekend! I'm basing my recipe on AndrewQLD's CPA clone, but I might end up changing out the dark crystal for some light...

Does anyone know if it is possible/easy to straighten the freezer plate in a bar fridge with internal freezer, without cracking it and leaking refridgerant everywhere? I'm not meaning to troll, and I'm not totally niave about refridgerant and overly sensitive fridge compressors etc. It's just...

After I discovered the free freezer I was given doesn't work properly anymore, I was distracted from all things brewing and left my kegs in there at room temp for a few days before transferring them back to my not-quite-as-dodgey fridge. They now have science-fair worthy collections of mould on...

My sister-in-law and her husband moved house recently and gave me their old chest freezer as they are looking to buy a new one. The price was right so I went to get it but when I arrived, i found that he'd laid it down on an angle with the top lower than the bottom to drain the liquid out of it...

Hey guys, I've come up with a really simple, kit based recipe for a best bitter. Pending good sanitation etc I know it will make a decent beer: Coopers Draught tin (21 IBU in 20L) 900g LDM 300g Medium Crystal Fuggles 18g @ 40mins Fuggles 15g @ 20mins Fuggles 10g @ flameout total IBU about...

Hi guys, For someone looking to gain a better understanding of lager styles and flavours, would a '*******' lager made with us-05 or Nottingham be acceptable or still give too much of an ale yeast flavour? I've done a few partial mash ales recently and have been expanding my palate but I've...

I've read a few books of late, the main one being "The Brewmaster's Table" by Garret Oliver of Boston Brewery, which talk about matching beer with food but also about tasting beers in a logical order in terms of flavour. I've also taken up the practice recently of buying two beers I've never...

Hi guys, I've gone digging for coal and found diamonds! I just hooked up a very basic kegging system. It doesn't fit in my current bar fridge and so to set it up, I've had to use my fermenting fridge. SWMBO found this out and said "WHAT?! You know that fridge doesn't work properly. It's going...
