Gday all. As my title suggests, two days ago I set my temp controller to cold crash my brew and I went out there just now to transfer and it seems my freezer died or something happened, not sure yet but the temp in there was 69 degrees Celsius!! Lamp must have stayed on, I don’t know. Anyway, my...

Gday fellow brewers. I have just recently (3 brews in) joined the AG world of brewing and bloody loving it!! getting great results with some super tasty beers. But, my no chill cube that I have used has the smell of hops in it that I just cant get out! I have cleaned with PBW 3 times, sanitised...

I posted something earlier which I thought I had worked out but alas..No. After 20 K&K brews I'm looking at doing my first AG (well BIAB) in a couple of weeks and I have a question, If I see a recipe and it is for a 45L batch, how do I recalculate that for a 20-23L batch. Sorry if this is a...

Cancel that, had a blonde moment...

Gday All. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with using the Digiboil from Kegland as a vessel for partial mash. I'm looking at stepping up to AG eventually but would like to try partial mash first. Cheers

Gday All. As the title suggests, is this doable? I have a Cerveza K&K that I thought I wouldn't use any bittering hops during the mix up, don't ask me why.. After tasting 5 days into fermentation, it's tasting pretty boring and bleah! Was looking to bitter it up a bit. Cheers and Beers!

Gday All. Reasonably new to brewing (about 15 brews now, Extract) and I was thinking of refining the extract craft a little more. My next brew I was thinking of using 2 x 1.5kg cans of Pale liquid malt and adding my own bittering hops, adding a some DME to bring the gravity up and steeping...

gday all. I’m wondering what is the best way to get a more malty taste in my lager or any brew for that matter. I just do K&K and I generally put in 1.2kg of LDME along with steeping around 300g of grain but I’m looking for a more maltier taste. Any help for this noob would be much appreciated...

Gday All. I know this could be seen as a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question but this is my first keg set up so I don't have a previous guide to go on. I have a kegerator running three 19 litre kegs and just do the normal stuff with the gas, but I have run out and I have had the...

Gday all. I have read the posts on this forum and others on this topic and it seems that I am doing things right but the evidence seems to prove otherwise. I am trying to transfer from my SS fermenter to a corny keg. I have a silicon hose from the fermenter to a quick disconnect (black and I...

Gday all. Couldn't think of a header for this so that was the best I could come up with. I'm looking at making a K&K amber ale and was wondering if I use LDME (1kg) with 200g of steeped cara or crystal. would that be enough to get the color/taste for this type of beer or should I get the 1.5kg...

Gday All. As the title suggests I'm wondering what the folk on this forum think of this theory. I have looked on this and other forums but found no chat about it. The reason I ask is that I am currently slowly dropping a lager to 1 degree, It's been 6 days already and it started at 20 degrees (...

Gday all. My Pilsner brew is looking like it has finished fermenting (1.015 for the last 48 hrs) but I am heading interstate for 4 days and I was wondering what temp I should keep it at until I get back. It's currently at 20 degrees (ramp up temp). I was thinking just ambient as I don't want to...

Gday All. I have just put down a Blonde Pilsner that has turned into a bit of a beast unfortunately (OG 1.074) not my intention but live and learn I guess. Now, I have read that you can dry hop at around 50% attenuation and was wondering how much and of what type would be best. I originally...

Gday all. I am about to brew my first larger (Pilsner) and I have a couple of packs of S-05 on hand and was wondering if that would be suitable or should I use a S-23 that I can get from my LBS. It's for a 23L Kit brew with a caramel Pilsner malted grain steep. I have a ripper of a chest...

Gday all. Finally got my first brew into the keg today (woo hoo!) but not without incident. I got everything ready and thought, crap! what will I use to attach to the tap, tried some beer line shoved up the tap and lost about a litre of beer, fixed that on the fly but only temporary. So just...

gday all. New to the forum and been a voyeur for too long so here is a question form a noob who’s in the middle of the first brew. Put down a coopers pale ale 5 days ago using 04 yeast and 600g of LDME 300g dextrose and 300g of maltodextrine. Been kept at a very constant 19.5 degees but it...

Gday all. First timer here and new to the world of home brewing. I have just put down my first brew (simple pale ale, with a bunch of simple fermentables, thought I'd start off easy and learn the craft) which is just about ready to cold crash and then I'm going to do my second which is going...
