Hi All, I am trying to work out how to determine where the colour of my brew sits. The recipe I used (not sure if it was off here) has it styled as an ‘American Pale Ale’. I used the brewbuilder program from my local HB store and it says that the colour should be 23, but when I put the same...

I am using Beersmith 2, and I find it ok for transferring recipoies from brewbuilder on the HB store I use. I don't think I fully use BS2 to its full extent as I don't really give a toss about percentage efficiency and water loss and every other factor than can be recorded. I do BIAB and so I...

This is the first time I have attempted the ‘no chill’ process and from my readings of this topic on here, this is what I have done and will do, I am looking for confirmation/ advice: 1. Brewed as per normal and while still hot just after flame out transferred from boil vessel into a sanitised...

I know it works. My neighbour made a mexican can kit and kilo job with the juice of 6 limes in the secondary and kegged it. Pretty sweet, but not too bad. I am planning to do the same thing but tweak it a bit. Primary ferment kit and kilo coopers mexican (yes it's a can, but this is a trial...

I live in the Maitland area and may be doing a brew soon. Living in Thornton you don't work for a certain government organisation do you?

I cannot turn my gas cylinder on or off. It goes a quarter turn only. The reg says the cylinder is still pretty full, and if I open up the valve on the reg, it will just fill the kegs. I have tried to loosen the nut, and when I do so all the CO2 escapes from the cylinder. Should I loosen nut...

I need to clean the part indicated in the photo. It is the screw where the tap joins. There is beer in it and I cannot get a rag in there to clean it out. Taking the font off the fridge is not an option. Thoughts/ Suggestions?

I know that my cylinder weighs 2.6kg empty. It currently weighs 3.0kg.. therefore 400g of CO2. Question is, will this be enough to push two kegs for the next week with fairly constant use. My thoughts are no and that I should err on the side of caution and get it filled up. Thoughts?

So, will it matter if it is gassed up to serving pressure from today untill the 24th of Dec? Will it be over carbonated?

Been a while since this topic was bought up for discussion. I dont need the beer till xmas - but it has been in the fridge for about 3 weeks at 3.5/4 deg C..... Force carbing (The method psted on here) has worked well in the past, but that is because I was impatient. At present I am on a diet...

I see, I see.... There are plenty of ways to skin a cat :-) Thanks y'all

I am currently doing BIAB at 23L knockout. I want to experiment with brews. My first option is to make 23L and split it between x amount of vessels for fermentation with different yeasts and dry hopping profiles etc and then bottle. In this option how much yeast should I use for a smaller...

Hi All, I have found that when I dry hop into my racked beer (for me 'racking' means taking it from primary fermentation vessel with the yeast cake, into another vessel where it will sit for a week or two then it goes into the keg to chill to 4 deg before force carbing) the armoa does not last...

Bugger. I just added the sugar. Not in a position to bottle till the end of the week. Oh well. I might just add about 1/2 of what I added today (130g today) and she should be ok.

Thanbks Robbo thats what I was thinking. The hops are bagged so no problem with them breaking up and getting into the bottles. I might just add the sugar now and stir and then wait a few days and add the hops. Its been a while since I had to bottle Cheers,

I just racked out an AG GOlden Ale clone that I intend to bottle. I forgot to add my sugar to bulk prime, will it be ok to rack it again into another fermenter a few hours before bottling next weekend with the sugar? Secondly, I have need ot dry hop it for armoa, should I do this now or once...

Thanks to all. I actauly have Brewsmith 2 on my computer but I have not really sat down and played around with it. I worked out that i needed at 28.5L for 4kg grain for a mild ale. Meh, it is mashing now and the liquid is darkish, so something right must be happening.

I am currently doing BIAB in a 40L Birko Urn. I have been guessing the amount of water to use thus far and have always managed to get it pretty good. So good that my OG has always been within 2 of the desired. Is there a calcualtor out there that will enable me to accuratly determine the...

Anywhere other than Marks Home Brew to get CO2 at such late notice for NYE celbrations? I just called Mark, but there was no answer.... If anyone knows if he is open today and or tomorrow (Sat 31st) please let me know. Cheers, ROWDY

Ahhhh, Thanks King Brown... That would be that funny shaped spanner thing I got with the fridge. :-)
