I have a local tentative on the Tilt, If he doesn't want it I'll post. It seems to be the most popular item!

Hi all, time to hang up the mash paddle so everything is up for sale. links are for gumtree ads with pics. Grainfather connect: $850 Birko 40L Urn exposed element with badly home made lid - not pretty but does the job! $150 kegerator setup with Perlick taps: $1300 Other: 2x 19L Stainless kegs...

Complete kegging setup: Keg Master Kegerator (series 3) with Perlick stainless steel flow control taps, 6.8kg CO2 bottle, regulator, 5 kegs & heaps more. Would much prefer to sell as a complete package before breaking things up for individual sale. It's for sale on gumtree but hopefully someone...

seriously don't worry too much about the yeast just add **** loads of hops and you can't go wrong in an IPA :)

The 30 watt bulb has done the trick for me. It heated a glass of water from 17 to 19 pretty quickly. I never bothered to wire the heat side of my stc1000 so I have dusted off my old Mashmaster Tempmate to control the light bulb while the STC controls the fridge.

I have a 240V desk fan at my office in the city but alas I am working from home this week. So I stole the bedside lamp from the spare room with a 10 watt bulb. When I came out this morning the air temp in the fridge was reading 15 degrees so I have upgraded the bulb to a 30W halogen and will...

Citra and Galaxy go great together! my house APA is a combination of 80g galaxy and 50grams citra and it has been well received in the past. I would definitely add more than 50 grams of dry hops for an IPA. Pretty sure any combination of Citra, galaxy and Amarillo will work well. Regarding a...

so I am looking at a heating solution up here in QLD because I want to ferment at 19 degrees and from experience the fridge will drop to 15-16 in the current ambient climate. Will a PC fan be sufficient for this? I'm looking at a 12V 100mA pc fan from Jaycar which would be 12 * 0.1 = 1.2 Watts...

what a bummer man, all that work for nothing!

never seen that before. Although it's not a very good photo. can you take some out and put it in a glass and take another photo? Looks like someone gave you unmalted wheat instead of ale malt?! It doesn't seem to have any amber/gold colour to it at all.

thanks Steve, what about Australian hops such as galaxy?

Any timing on 2018 season hops availability?

I'm not saying you can. What i was trying to say is that you could use much cheaper, different equipment to make the same quality beer.

I agree man , $6k for a 50L setup; you could get that for $2k with no reduction in quality of beer.

where are you getting the hops from? That recipe should be getting a very similar aroma to stone and wood pacific ale. if the hops are old or stored poorly it can impact the aroma. New season is due pretty soon I think. also I find adding the hops at fermentation temperature gives the best...

That's cool that you've got 10L to play around with after brew. It's always a bit of hand break for crazy ideas when you realise you'll have to drink 20 litres of this stuff! My first ever kit brew was a brewcraft lager, which included a drying enzyme!

I tend to think of brewing with darker malts + cane to sugar a bit similar to using ice and hot water to produce tap water.

I'm sure the hipsters will love it. Trends in beer, good grief. I tried a can of Heady Topper at the height of the "haze craze" and was unimpressed. I thought it was high in hop astringency - to the point that I would have been disappointed if one of my brews turned out like that. So since that...

you'll still need to make a starter I'd say. depends on your OG. use mr malty yeast pitching calculator http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html that's a lot of lager for your first one. You don't do things by halves do you! Be warned lagers can be hard. good luck!

That recipe above, the ipa, came out to check it just now and it's gone off with yeast spewing out the airlock. Never seen us05 do that before. Set at 18 degrees too. Maybe pitched too much slurry
