Can anyone point me in the direction of a bottlo that has Cantillon in stock in Melbourne? Cheers

Hey guys, I used my last pack of 3864 a few months ago and wasn't farming my yeast at the time so didn't save any. Does anyone have a pack, a culture, some slurry..... I'd really like to brew some recipes I have that use this yeast and don't want to sub it with something else.

Weather was a bit crappy for brewing this weekend so I decided to get to work on a 3 vessel setup. I thought I'd use my BIAB bag instead of a false bottom for 2 reasons. 1)cos I already have it 2)easier removeal/disposal of grain Saturday was HERMS day. Started out with a BigW 11L pot, BigW...

Making a collar for my chest freezer so I can fit 50L kegs in with the coupler attached. Will be made from doubled up 150mm x 19mm Merbau (Kwilla) with 6mm of expanda foam injected between the two frames. Just threw together a drawing in CAD, busy weekend ahead but will hopefully get it built by...

Ok guys, I need some help here. I've tried making starters a few times now and they always end up smelling awful. Procedure is normally; *Wash Erlenmeyer flask with PBW *Rinse with warm water *Rinse with hot water x 2 *Boil wort (500ml) in Erlenmeyer flask for 5-10mins, loosely covered with...

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a mill and narrowed it down to the two 3 roller mills listed above. I included the Millmaster 2 roller because I know a lot of you use it and the more I check it out the better it is looking, although I'd prefer 3 roller so I only have to do a single pass through...

Ok, so I decided to do a 50L brew (in my 55L pot . . . that was fun) and now I'm making my first starter (because I'm too tight to buy 2 packs of yeast, I have a stir plate and I like to make things complicated) Now Mr.Malty pitch rate calc tells me I need 480 billion yeast cells to ferment my...

Hey guys, quick question... I'll be brief cos I'm running late for work. I did a brew yesterday and long story short I got heaps of trub in my fermenter. I BIAB and use an immersion chiller so there was heaps of hot and cold break in the bottom that got stirred and went into the ferm. :blink...

Hey all, I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands atm. I have a fermenter that is about to be emptied, a bunch of specialty grains cracked and ready for brewing and a whole Easter long weekend to brew.. but I can't crack my base grains, so I can't brew. Can anyone help me out? Oh, I don't want to...

I've noticed a bit of variety in BIAB techniques lately and though I'd start a poll to see who's doing what in the world of BIAB. Some people have started a mini sparge in a smaller pot and adding it to their boil, others have lengthened mash and boil times, some dunk, some stir. How do you go...

I'm sure this has probably been asked and answered before, but after an hour of searching I can't find anything. What is the best way to get a sample from my fermenter for testing gravity? Opening the lid and using a sanitised pipette or sanitise the tap and pour a sample into a cup. I'm...

Hey guys, Did my first AG BIAB brew yesterday and noticed some black foam during the boil. I scooped it out but now there's more black foam in the krausen in my fermenter. It's the first time I've used the kettle and I thought I cleaned it pretty well with PBW before I mashed... any ideas...

Hey all, Planning my first AG recipe for Feb to work in with the SEQ grain bulk buy. Trying for a Trois Pistoles clone and was wondering if you would mind checking my recipe and passing along feedback or suggestions. Cheers
