    Sigmind's Voss Kveik Yeast - Perfect for Australian Brewing?

    That's fair enough but there are now some strains that do a much better job at creating fast faux lagers than Voss. Oslo and Skare are very much lager-like and will do the trick if you don't have the fermentation control or patience for a lager fermentation. They do still get better with some...

    Fermzilla

    It's not krausen. It's foam from releasing pressure too fast. High krausen is at the 26L mark.

    The gauge is only measuring what's enclosed and as long as there's only 1 exit then the gauge can go anywhere before the valve. The T-piece can go any-which-way. The beer looks to have come through the lid due to a poor seal and I don't think that's krausen as you can see where the high...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au - thanks for the transparency. I don't care about missed upgrades but modifications being made to prevent product failure 6 months after purchase are a concern, especially when it's a failure that may take time to appear; this is why I mentioned it. As long as the new moulds...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Yeah, seeing that was a bit of a worry to say the least. Cracking must be occurring for it to require a mould change? Do those who haven't had a chance to brew many batches with it yet just have to wait and see?

    Specific gravity not changing

    What was the pitch temperature because this will likely be your issue? You're best to wait, even if that means not pitching until you get home from work.

    Brisbane grain bulk buy April 2018

    I'm keen. Switch over to crushing my own so have to get initial inventory :)

    Too hot to Brew ?

    That's the route I went, I decided to embrace the warmth in Brisbane and use saison and a kveik yeast (especially). Hefeweizen and other Belgians can also work. I still have a fridge but it only fits 30L and I usually have 2 going at once. I guess it depends on your preferences but I prefer...

    Sigmind's Voss Kveik Yeast - Perfect for Australian Brewing?

    This new one is going to be great as well; the orange citrus flavour really shines through. My co-taster-in-crime, who isn't a massive beer drinker, was very excited drinking it and said it was almost like an orange juice flavour with no prompting from myself. There was a little sweetness there...

    Sigmind's Voss Kveik Yeast - Perfect for Australian Brewing?

    Yeah, it can go higher apparently :) I wanted to start at an extreme and work backwards. It's pretty much the temp I get out of the grainfather so worked well - I hate wasting water while chilling and Brisbane tap water temp gets right up there during spring/summer. I used a couple of temp...

    Sigmind's Voss Kveik Yeast - Perfect for Australian Brewing?

    I've used the yeast a couple of times recently - just bottled one tonight (that I brewed on Saturday) following a recipe I use for a saison dupont clone just to compare. I did get it down to 1.006 but this one did contain some sugar in the grain bill. I mashed at a higher temp (66ºC for 60)...

    Mountain Goat Summer Ale and Steam Ale (Side-by-Side)

    I just made my own attempt at this based off memory (had some years ago) and even though I missed the memory I was going for, it was still more enjoyable than the can I bought to compare. I don't know if they've changed the recipe by a bit or my memory of the taste changed significantly... I...
