I am wondering if anyone else had issues with this yeast and experienced "extreme" lag times? WLP013 Yeast Best before date of June 3 - 2014 so it should have had just under 50% of the viable yeast cells I am led to believe. Here is what happened: 20/8 - Evening The Erlenmeyer Flask and...

I activated a packet of 1968 London ESB Wyeast yesterday morning by popping the internal nutrient packet in the activator / smack pack. The yeast was manufactured April 2011 and as it was fresh, within less than 12 hours it was fully expanded. Last night, to my surprise it seemed to have quite...

I bought this brand new off Ebay to run a large Crankandstein mill. It cost me $112 including shippment. Identical unit to the following and purchased from this supplier: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BRAND-NEW-1HP-240v-...=item43a6d37df8 Motor is in perfect condition and I just tested it for 30...

I have a motor with a 20mm diameter keyed shaft which operates at 2830RPM. The mill is a Crankandstein, recommended to run at 300RPM or lower and it has a 1/2" shaft with 3 flat spots on it. I figure a 1 or 1.5" pulley for keyed 20mm shaft at the motor and 10 or 15" pulley for 1/2" shaft with...

I bought one of these commonly used pumps second hand from a fellow brewer less than a month ago, hooked it up this weekend with some fittings, silicone to push mash liquor through a stainless HE coil back up to the same mash tun. To my surprise, the setup was unable to even circulate water...

After doing quite a few wheat beers, I would appreciate help if someone provide me with a few pointers on how I can increase the banana / bubblegum esters and reduce the clove phenolics in my wheat beers? Lately I have struggled to introduce enough banana and bubblegum flavours but I have had...

I am wondering if anyone knows of a decent source to obtain 120-150 liter pots in Melbourne. I require two of these vessels and they don't have to be identical in size either as long as they are larger than 120 liters. I would prefer a decent quality pot, however it may come down to...

Having a conical fermenter, I have always wanted to harvest some of the yeast and use it to make bread. I figured that I needed about as much as normal wet yeast to make a loaf. The beer was an American Pale Ale with about 32 IBU and some late hop additions (straight from some Cascade hop...

I prefer the 500ml bottle size for casual drinking to stubbies and longnecks. I am wondering if anyone has any 0.5l bottles they are willing to to part with? I am happy to pickup, pay or swap. Please let me know what quantity you are keen to part with, if they are dirty, semi cleaned or...

I have been producing varying beers for some time. My preferred styles are dark ales and hefeweizen. After sticking to a trusty old spreadsheet for some time, I purchased and starting using Beersmith to calculate the priming malt I should use for my bulk priming. With a 46 liter conical...
