Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a new mill as my brother and I have been sharing a really good one from a bulk buy we participated in here some time ago - but I'm sick of sharing. Have only just started looking around and read about the Kegland Maltzilla but can't find much in terms of reviews...

Just wondering if anyone has brewed with any of the Two Bays gluten free grain kits? https://www.twobays.beer/collections/brew-packs I want to get a gluten free beer on the go for a few friends and family, a mix of gluten sensitive, intolerant and coeliac individuals (don't know why I know so...

Hi guys, So I brewed a DIPA (8.4%) a few weeks back, it's a bit unusual as I used about 1.8kg of fresh/wet Hallertau hops from my mates garden, not your typical hop for an IPA I wouldn't think.. So the hop schedule went like this; 25g Citra @ FWH 250g Hallertau @ 20mins 250g Hallertau @...

I'll let my good friend Stephen explain it a little better.. ;)

Hi guys, So I'm looking to change a couple of things in my setup, just looking for final words of advice etc., First thing I'm doing is removing the sight glass and replacing the tap on my Crown 40L urn. I've already removed the (useless) sight glass and original tap, I'm about to order a SS...

Hi guys, So I've searched up and read a lot of threads on here and gathered some ideas etc., but I've just been having trouble getting that store-bought layered hop flavour coming through in any of my beers. I can achieve bitterness easily, even aroma to an extent (mostly through the dry hop...

Hey guys, So I'm getting pretty sick of cleaning bottles and I'm also getting dissatisfied with oxidising my beers. I like the convenience of bottles but I'm thinking I could of course use one of those pressure cap doobies to accommodate for those times when I take beer offsite. The main...

Hi all, I'm new to harvesting and I have been reading through and everything makes sense but I just want to see what people think about what I have here (see attached)... I have enhanced the colour here just to make it a bit easier to see the separation. This was basically a whole yeast cake...

Hi all, So this weekend I'm hoping to do a v2 brew of an Oatmeal XPA recipe I put together and was my first ever AG brew. The original recipe is as follows (calculations are from Ian's BIAB Spreadsheet, also, I had my beer professionally analysed at Boags Brewery for some of the other...

Hi y'all, I've been on the hunt for a stir plate to use with my 5L flask for a while now and I have realised that hand agitation is far less effective. I liked the digital homebrew stirplate (http://www.digitalhomebrew.com/digital-stirplate-v3) but it's out of stock everywhere and they have a...

Hi all, I'm new to this so cut me some slack if it seems amateurish! When I brewed my first BIAB a couple months ago my brother loaned me a temp logger to throw in there. These are the results and just thought it might be interesting for some of those guys starting out; I have a very basic...

Hi all, I just got an email back from one of the Water Quality Scientists at TasWater ([email protected]), anyway, here are the most recent stats for Launceston (I specifically asked for the Kings Meadows area); Alkalinity Bicarbonate (CaCO3) - 16mg/L Calcium - 9mg/L Chloride -...

Hey guys, doing my first ever AG brew this weekend, was feeling pretty prepared but realised that I probably don't have enough yeast. So I'm doing an XPA, about 27.5 litres, OG at 1.055 and have one packet of Safale S04. Looking at the yeast calculator here -...

Hi guys, I made my first Perry a few months ago (using my own pears I minced and pressed about 19l). I used carbonation drops during bottling and I was actually paranoid of bottle bombs so I split the 750ml PET bottles by putting only 1 drop in half of the bottles and two drops in the other...
