Hi all, I haven’t brewed in a few years so I’m debating selling my set up. I know it cost me quite a few thousand to put together but I have no idea what I can ask for it now. What do you think it is worth? It is: 40L birko urn plus BIAB bag 20L esky with manifold (suitable as a mash tun if...

Hi all, I haven't brewed for 3 years. BIAB in a Birko urn. I chill in a couple of the old faithful bigw 19l pots in the bath. I will be getting all new ingredients and a new tap on the fermenter. The fermenter actually had sanitiser sitting in it for 3 years. It's clean with a small amount of...

I brewed an AG Rye robust porter almost 4 weeks ago. It had an sg of 1068. I was running short of time so didn't have time to hit the wort with 02 or use a starter so I just sprinkled 2 packets (not rehydrated) into a 20L brew. I know that's not ideal but I've done this plenty of times in...

I have a couple of almost empty kegs that were sitting unplugged from the gas for ages. We have people coming over tonight and ive just realised they've lost most of their carbonation. There is a very small head (even opening the flow control all the way) that dissapates very quickly. They are...

Im thinking of trying a more out there brew. Going for cinnamin doughnut in a glass. At this stage thinking of 70% vienna as a base for sweetness, 30% munich for breadiness. Saaz for some spiciness to 25IBUs. Neutral yeast like us05. 3 cinnamon sticks in secondary. Seems that broken up sticks...

Hi all, I'm after a big porter and thought I might as well use up leftover bits of specialty malts I had hanging around. Does this look like it will work OK? I haven't used Amber or brown malts in a porter before. Leftovers robust porter (Robust Porter) Original Gravity (OG): 1.070 (°P)...

Hi all, I am finding that I'm not using my immersion chiller as I end up "no chilling" most of my beers. Rather than have it sitting around at home someone may get some good use out of it. The original thread where I purchased from another AHB member is here...

I know "how to" posts have been made about this before but thought I would post this again for any new members. I keep forgetting and struggle to open bags and found this... http://www.weyermann.de/downloads/pdf/Weyermann_Bag_Opening_Instructions_english_March_2012.pdf

I never brew lagers as they are too much effort but decided to brew only my second lager recently using the last of my Vienna. I had issues with the smack pack not swelling after 5 days (it was older) so purchased a second one (no chilled so plenty of time to pitch). While the second was coming...

I did an idiotic thing and realised that I have just brewed (chiling now) a 21L AG IPA at about 1060 OG but only have one 12 g pack of US05. So my question is, what is the best pitching option 1 - underpitch with just one pack (Mr Malty says I need 2 packs) 2 - Go to Big W and buy some...

Hi all I'm looking to install a large laundry style trough in the garage/brewery. Second hand is fine, it's just needs to be usable. I'd like it to be big enough to be able to fit a fermenter/cube in for cleaning. I'd prefer one that comes with the cupboard underneath but this is not...

Hi all, I have some Goldings rhizomes going cheap. Just looking for a no fuss arrangement to cover the cost of fixing my urn. At the moment I'm only looking for local pick up in Sunbury or Melbourne CBD. Photos are below. Prices. 2 small rhizomes = $10 for the 2 Medium Rhizomes = $10 each...

Hi all, As my urn has broken and I've run out of beer I'm looking to do a quick stovetop brew to tide me over. I'm looking to use a kit as a base and just add some grain to get a bit of complexity. Never having done a partial before how does this sound 1 coopers dark ale kit 1kg LDME 700g...

I was at my local Dans on the weekend and there was a guy doing tasting of few beers from the same brewery (I think it was Hawthorn). Thinking he was a rep from the brewer I starting asking a few questions about the beers. He mentioned the English Amber Ale that was for sale but not available...

It's a tragedy. I've run out of beer! 2 kegs were both getting low so I brewed another 2 23 litre batches. The first beer seemed a bit below average at first but not infected so I reused the yeast. It's getting worse the longer I leave it and both seem pretty clearly infected now. 46 litres of...

At the Request of Beerfingers I have split the knk thread Are you sure or is your hop amount out 1 decimal point? If you brew an extract you might just surprise yourself. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=36160

My 40L Birko urn (new model with black plastic lid) has been playing up recently. The boil dry has been cutting in and I've needed to reset regularly duing the boil. So I started sitting the urn on a small piece of wood that permanently pushed the button in so I'd get through a brew. It cut out...

Is anyone from BAD or AHB going to this event? Or entering the competition? I'll be there with the wife and kids in tow... http://www.snagbeerandbubblefest.com.au/workshops.htm

Hi all, Due to brewing an emergency beer recently I had to finish fermenting an earlier beer in a willow cube. However, I used one that didnt have a tap fitted to the bottom (the bung hole is still sealed up so I can't easily unscrew the bung and replace with a tap). So I propose the following...
