All in good fun fellas. Cheers to beer, and AHB. A Hey guys, Im new to brewing so go easy on me. What happens when (insert bleedingly obvious question) B "The pathetic ignorance you have displayed just now is making everyone else look very un-cool, and its, like, really...

Guys, The PBW label says dont use on teflon things (presumably because it will pull the teflon right off the steel), which got me thinking about teflon thread tape in weldless fittings. I often leave PBW, or napisan, in my kettle, lines and plate chiller, for a couple of days sometimes. I havent...

Ay lads, a heads up to say my marmalade poter went on tap this week at Archive, for this week only, as part of the BABBs fruit comp. Please get on in and sample, and vote! I copped a slop of it last night, and was very happy. The mamalade isnt overbearing im glad to say, and melds nicely with...

Im using a plate chiller tomorrow, and dumping straight onto a yeast cake so i dont want to totally roast my yeast with hot wort! So, approx how much 30c ish water are people using to to cool 40 litres of boiling wort to 20c ish, using a plate chiller? If someone can point me toward an...

im making a ridiculously hopped American Amber very soon, and in a nutshell its trad style should lean toward malt, but for my own experimentational satisfaction i will be throwing in a veritable tonne of hops. So, im thinking more Chloride than Sulphate, to highten the malts so as to (my...

Well, these things dont build themselves... thought i might share the journey in photos. I'd been dickin around with tables and lifting bits, using a pump here or there, and a pallet and sheet of metal to avoid melting the lino. The brew frame was beckoning... bits looked a lot at the brutus...

Guys, I'm playing round with some water chem in Beer Alchemy, brewing an English IPA tomorow and looking at targeting Burton water profile. So does 13 grams of Gypsum sound totally extreme? it does to me, but with this addition im still not even on par with the suggested target for that...

Guys, my brewing software is asking for Bicarbonate concentration. The water report im working from doesn't have it. Can i deduce it somehow from the Hardness and the Alkalinity? Or when they say Hardness does this also mean Bicarbonate?? im zone one/two brisbane if anyones got the magic...

Guys, im building a brew frame soon, just doing up the design now. Question is: will a noob welder encounter anymore trouble than usuall doing mitre joins? im getting the bits cut by the steel fabrication dudes where im buying it (asuming they can do 45 degree cuts easy), so theyll be...

Guys, just thought id let anyone know, i just installed the Beer alchemy update as prompted to when i launched it just now, and now its crashing on me. like i cant get it to open. Im not sure how to fix this, and it totally could have to do with me being a bit of a clunk with computers. Ive...

Would anyone like to tell me just how easy it is to oil a march pump, and how naughty i am for not having done this after 50 odd brews? I was recirculaing some cleaning solution through it the other day and the pump was really quite warm after only 10mins or so (the solution was ambient...

Well this is my first original post, so hello to everyone - i didnt see the "introduce yourself" thread while i was lurking about in the shadows! Just downloaded the demo version of Beer Alchemy, which seems great. im having trouble getting it to sync with my phone though. theyre both on the...
