I cant figure out why my gravity was so low with my pre boil being about right and my volume being pretty close. I use a refac and hydrometer for all readings and even took multiple samples of both to double check. All was mixed very well. My only thought is it must be that my boil off is less...

Wanted to brew an imperial chocholate stout and have thrown this together in brewfather with no real idea, looking to brew this weekend and have these ingredients on hand. Will this work? Will 1 pack of yeast get me there on a small batch? Should I tweek the percentages or remove ingredients...

Was looking for gamma seal lids and 5 gallon buckets and came across this site, $4.99 for bucket and lid but this caught my eye https://www.pccedue.com/kegco-mdk309ss01-keg-dispenser-p-716379.htm What's the deal with this site? I can't find much on google. Obviously you don't get a kegarator...

Anyone used the repco gamma lid knock off for storing grain? They are made of polypropylene so should be fine🤷‍♂️

Hello all. I have had a rough time trying to figure out an off sweet taste I keep getting. I have started using a chubby fermenter and purging a keg with the co2 produced from fermentation as well as putting .3g of potassium metabisulfite in the keg being purged. The left over beer in the chubby...

Just pulled the pin on a Grainfather G40 and a 3 roller geared mill. So excited to upgrade from my diy keggle that started the journey, but as I have gained more experience the limitations of my set up have slowed me down. The G40 is the best I can afford and I'm really excited to get brewing...

Made a Neipa last Wednesday with an OG of 1.064 and pitched 2x verdant yeast packs that evening ant 20c, Friday night checked the gravity and was down to 1.018 so put in my dry hop of 180g and let it build to 10psi. Checked the gravity over the last 2 days and it is 1.014 so should be done. So...

Anyone looking to sell a mill at the moment. In east gipsland but will pay for postage if the price is right. Cheers

Critical thinking welcome. Will dry hop on day 3 and set to 10psi at the same time. Only reason for pressure is to carb it up and help with cold crash in the chubby fermenter. Juice Me New England IPA 6.8% / 15.4 °P Recipe by Skillz All Grain MY BIAB SET UP 58.9% efficiency Batch Volume: 23 L...

I'm loving IPA and NEIPA alot. I have been using the usual suspects, Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, El Dorado. It has recently been suggested to me by a certain supplier of hop goodness on facebook that you can't go wrong with Zamba, Sequoia, Trident for a NEIPA. I had never heard of the first 2 and...

Hi y'all. Looking at getting into milling my own grains and am now looking at my storage options. I'm sure I can figure out the containers but as the title suggests I'm wondering about keeping the grains in a shed in good old Victoria with our lovely temp swings. Just built a 12x7.5m shed with...

Can somebody please help with 2 main questions I have. 1, how important is changing HC03 as I'm always low but don't think it matters 2, what are the 2 main ones we are looking for when we say hoppy or malty or fuller or dry, Ca and Cl? This was my last target Ca 101, Mg 15, Na 31, Cl 89...

Hello fellow brewer's. I'm looking for cuttings off hop plants in the east gippsland area, please let me know if you can help out. Cheers

Iam having a constant issue with my beer coming out overly sweet. Could you please look over my last recipe and see if anything stands out. I have taken alot of precautions to lower oxygen to the point that this beer wasn't even dry hopped and then all the standard low oxygen options were...

Hello brains trust. Please see attached pictures. I'm planning a 3c's pale ale and when I move the recipe over to my profile on brewfather the hopstand give a very different amount of ibu and compensates by upping the 60min boil addition. I have checked the hopstand utilisation and it is 23%...

East gippy hydroponics and homebrew opens in bairnsdale on Tuesday. I'm not affiliated with them in anyway but I'm so excited to have a local homebrew shop that now means I can pick up grains on a whim and brew more. If you are a local let's support them and keep them around.

Just did my first ever secondary and adjunct fermentation. Recipe is Dan Stockwell's cherry ripe stout courtesy of brew taste style on YouTube. Was a good tasting stout out of the hydro sample so looking forward to trying the finished product soon.

Brewloon doing its job during cold crash. Closed transfer to go and then keg hop, let's see how this goes with o2 ingress.

Hello brains trust. I brewed this a month ago and was very happy with the beer initially. 2 weeks in it lost most of its hoppy appeal. Any suggestions on why this might be? I put the dry hops in just after high krousen, purged with co2. Used a brewloon to capture co2 and used it for suck back...

Good enough place to put this i think. Did and experiment by putting 6 hop varieties into cheap half strength beers. Went like this. Wednesday, put 3 full size hop pellets into very cold screw top bottles, 6 bottles 6 varieties. Put them into the coubord. Saturday I put the in the fridge to...
