Seems like this topic would have been brought up before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. I just bought a 4 way manifold from grain and grape: http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_in...roducts_id=7224 I'm trying to set it up, but I can't get the gas line over the barbs. The...

Hi, I'd like to try my hand at sour beers at some stage, and because they take so long to ferment, I would like to get started sooner rather than later. I was wondering what most of you guys use for a fermenter? From what I've read, glass or better bottle are better than a standard canoe...

I brewed an oatmeal stout with about 54% Weyermann smoked today. I must say that it is tasting superb and extremely well balanced as wort. However, the smoke flavour is very mild. Even with 100%, it would not come close to being as smoky as an Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier. I am aware that some of...

Dragonhead Stout (4%ABV) Appearance - Black (SRM 40+) Nose - Milk chocolate. Sweet espresso. Palate - Significant herbal hop character. Nutty. Chocolate. Roasted notes are present, but the chocolate dominates. Substantial bitterness (~40-50 IBU) Finish - Dry. Short. Very similar to an Irish...

Innis & Gunn Rum Cask Oak Aged Beer (7.4%) Appearance - Deep Red (~20SRM). Creamy, off-white head. Reasonably good retention. Nose - Oak. Bourbon. Sherry. Rum. Malty. Raisins. Biscuity (maris-otter?). Hint of chocolate and treacle. Perhaps candied peanuts. Palate - Oak. Bourbon. Coconut. Golden...

Meantime London Smoked Bock - 6%ABV Appearance - pale amber (srm about 8). White head quickly receding. High carbonation. Nose - Floral, hoppy, vaguely fruity. No smoke. Very little malt character. Palate - Reasonably bitter (maybe about 40IBU but stands out with no malt backbone to balance...

I'm planning on setting up a keg-system. Reasons? It will make it easier to lager/age. It will give me greater ease of control over carbonation levels. It will save the hassle of bottling. I often don't want a whole bottle of beer, and it will be good to be able to pour just a small glass...

Hi everybody. This happened ages ago, but I would like to try bulk priming again some time, and don't have the guts to try again until I figure out what went wrong the first time. Hopefully someone here has some suggestions as to what might be the problem. I normally just use carbonation drops...

Hey guys, I just put down an AG weizen, using Wyeast wiehenstephan weizen 3068. I don't have any fermentation control, and usually time it pretty carefully to ferment within a couple of degrees of ideal temp. I pitched at 24 degrees, hoping that it would be down to about 21 pretty quickly (17...

I'm planning on doing lots of AG brewing. I have used grain before and crushed it by hand, but it was extremely tedious and there is no way I would do it for an AG. I was planning on getting a Monstermill MM-3, but at that time I was planning on getting grain from craftbrewer because I didn't...
