I bought an adapter so that i can refill a kegland sodastream cylinder but i'm not getting any gas flow when i open the valve, i watched the video a few times and and got the process right. Refilling from a 2.6kg gasguys cylinder that is approx. 3/4 full, tried a branded sodastream cylinder...

Time to rationalise my bottle collection since i mostly keg now, 60 x 330ml stubbies that i got from Hawkers brewery a few years.

Is there any way to identify the variety of fresh hops ?, i picked 1kg off a friends plant that he didn't know the variety of and at first i thought it had the aroma of Saaz. I brewed a pils with it and now i'm not so sure, tastes good but it doesn't have the flavour or aroma of Saaz that i'm...

So my kegland element died and i want to brew a beer for xmas day, anyone have a spare ?

I brewed a pale ale a few months back and i used the spent grain for a parti-gyle, so i have 20ltrs of wort that is like a very light beer with an SG of about 1.018. Thinking of using it as a base for ginger beer with maybe a small chilli infusion ?

I pressure fermented a hard seltzer and after i had transferred it to a keg i was left will still a fair amount of pressure in the FV, i tried using 2 gas ball lock fittings to transfer that co2 to my 4ltr mini keg but nothing happened. Was this the wrong process and if so how can i achieve this ?

Picked up a used fermentersaurus from the forum (thanks Yuz) so made up a lager using what i had on hand, 3 days to nearly finished @20c ( ambient temp in my laundry) Pressure never got above about 8psi so i may have a leak somewhere. 23ltr batch BIAB, mash @66c for 60mins, 60min boil. 4kg...

A few months back i brewed a Porter and used the spent grist for a parti-gyle, this gave me 20ltrs of black wort with an SG of 1.018. I had planned to give this to a mate to tart up a kit but he took too long and it was taking up valuable fridge space so i used it in a brew, i upped the ABV...

So i moved into kegging and so began the slippery slope to a DIY keezer project. We have a small chest and upright freezer that were used for food but i started eying off the chest freezer for a keezer build, so i bought a larger upright freezer and then found that the chest freezer was about...

So i grabbed a woolies kit and pimped it like i did a Coopers PA a few weeks ago with 500g of medium crystal and 50g of cascade hops using 1kg of dextrose instead of sugar. Did an SG reading and its a lowly 1.030, the coopers was 1.060 with the only difference being i used BE2 with the coopers...

Oh learned ones, looking to put another brew on but not 100% on the style given my limited ingredient list. I was starting to accumulate malts and hops buying some here and there when on sale. no yeasts on hand but i have a lager that is close to bottling so i will harvest the 34/70 when its...

Can anyone confirm if these kegs can have the posts changed to ball lock type, might be able to get them free.

Just filled my 4l mini keg and went to get a co2 bulb but i'm all out, a google search shows that no one stocks them apart from brewing supply places. Anyone know if any normal retail stores in Melbourne stock them ? I think it might be time to move up to soda stream size bottles.

So i have 5kg of dark munich 100g of hallertau pellets and saflager 34/70 to make my first all grain and first smash brew, i cant find a definitive guide on hop addition ie amount and timing. Is 100g on par for 5kg of grain, would a 50/50 hop addition work - mid mash and at the end ?

I picked up a freebie ex medical supplies fridge that i want to use as a brew fridge, it has a digital thermostat with a wide range of settings and currently doesn't seem to cool but temp is rising as if it was heating. Quite a solid unit and fits my fermenter in perfectly, being ex medical it...

Doing only my 2nd cider and on advice from local brew shop i have used 8ltrs of cheap homebrand juice to a brigalow kit, taste is good and has an OG of 1.03 so hoping for around 4-4.5%.

I naturally carbed a mini keg 2 weeks ago that I am drinking Christmas day. Should I release the prv before gassing with my mini reg ?
