    Generous Squire - Perth

    Apparently they've begun brewing on premise. Saw last week they had a sign out saying they'd be brewing an english style beer soon and yesterday the sign had been updated to say the beer was in the fermenters. It seems they use Polyclar 10 as a fining agent (based on the 3 large buckets they...

    Gas Lines In Keezer

    Hi all, I've got a freezer which holds 8 kegs all gassed up through a 6-way manifold and some john guest splitters. The tubing I got from Craftbrewer 8mm OD, 5mm ID. Unfortunately the lines are all over the place and it's getting annoying when removing empty kegs, putting new ones in or just...

    Bubblegum Esters From Us-05

    I brewed an aussie pale ale recipe 13/1 using a US-05 slurry of an alt. Recipe is below. Got 77% efficiency instead of the normal 70%. Fermented out without any noticeable esters, then sat cold in the fermenter for nearly 2 weeks prior to kegging. When I kegged it I noticed a slight...

    Digital Scales

    Just wondering if anyone has one of these scales for grain measurements http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Electronic-Comp...=item3a6ae1a979 I currently have one of those 5kg/1g cheap plastic kitchen ones that go for around $10. I'm not entirely confident of the accuracy at low weights (salts and...

    Mashing Issues

    After a year of brewing on the rig I'm now focused on improving my techniques to produce better and consistent beers, with consistency being an issue. And hopefully improve efficiency. The rig is a single tier 3v keg system with herms and 12" FB. I measured the millmaster gap at 1.42mm which...

    Chuck Hahn - Perth

    Walked past Generous Squire this morning and they had a notice saying Chuck Hahn would be there at 1pm Thursday. First time the sign has been out so not sure if it's for today or next week. Might try and sneak out and see anyway.

    Yeast Query

    I plan on brewing a pilsner double batch soon. I have a packet of wyeast czech pils which I bought about 2 years ago. Going by beersmith the packet has about 5% viability so I'm trying to plan ahead. Beersmith also say I need to have about 727.3B yeast cells for the brew. When I create a...

    Hop Hog Clone

    Had a pint of Feral Hop Hog the other night at the Sail Anchor in Freo. What a fantastic beer. The aroma was like I'd just opened a fresh packet of hops. After doing some research and cobbling together some other recipes I've come up with the following in the hope that it's something like the...

    Yeast Question

    I've got 2 cubes of a london pride clone and trying to work out which yeast to use and also a few questions about the yeast. I've got nottingham and s04 dry yeast, a smack pack of london ale 3 and a stubby of wyeast London esb which was taken from a starter. Both wyeasts are probably about a...

    First Foray Into Rice

    I brewed a double batch of premium american lager the other week and NC into 2 cubes. Last night had planned to dump them both into the 60L fermenter and use some saved yeast from Bohpils which I racked. Opened the first, all smelled nice and dumped it, opened the second and initially got a...

    New Brew Rig And Low Efficiency

    I originally thought everything went reasonably well for the first brew on the 3v herms rig apart from taking a bit longer, HLT heated nicely, the HERMS kept the temp right and after the boil ended up with the perfect amount in the cube. Last night poured it into the fermenter to find an OG of...

    German Beers

    Hi all, Whilst I'm still in the process of building my brew rig, I thought I'd better start planning for Oktoberfest (well we call it Browntoberfest) and as such I'd like to have a few different Bavarian/German beers on tap for the occasion. So looking for your favourite german styles and...
