Hey guys, First time brewing an Irish Red tomorrow and need a substitute for 6oz roasted barley 300L. I have either black patent malt or Carafa II dehusked. Do you think I could substitute in one of these and still get the colour/malt profile? Cheers!

Hallelujah we have movement! Had me worried for a minutes there. The wonder and durability of yeast! Time for a pliny clone to celebrate!

I ordered some yeast from the states to be delivered here in Japan and it was delayed in customs for a while and when it arrived the wlp002 (english ale) had become clumpy and didn't look in great condition. I needed to brew but had guests over so had little time, so I made a starter for a day...

I meant its going to be the stainless rather than brass version? Great to hear you have them in stock and I don't need to wait! Thanks

Scott, I just ordered two of these last week to be shipped to Japan. Can you confirm they will be the stainless NPT versions as advertised on the website? Are you saying these wont be shipped for at least another month? should probably inform people of that when they buy them! Cheers Jamie

Hi there, I recently bought a cheap 70 liter pot online here in japan cheaply but the guy had drilled a way too big hole for the ball valve. The hole is 1.5" in diameter and he tried to patch it up with the pieces shown in the photo. The two pieces on the left were on the outside of the...

Bobby M, I've sent you an email mate. Thanks

Any recommendations for a cooler that can fit a 12 inch round false bottom?

Does anyone know of anywhere that will ship camlocks internationally at a reasonable price? I'm in Japan. Cheers

The other thing is that the Rubbermaid coolers are about $140 here in Japan.....

Hey, I got a free 12 inch domed false bottom a while back and am now looking into buying a cooler to use as a mash tun. I hope to be doing an equal number of 5 and 10 gallon batches. Was planning on buying a 10 gallon Rubbermaid but read that it may be a bit small for the higher gravity 10...
