I brewed this on the weekend. I had a little difficulty with temp control during the mash but otherwise everything went well.

Thanks for the help guys. Any more suggestions are welcome. Bierhaus15, I haven't yet messed around with any liquid yeasts and starters etc. i have used Danstar Nottingham before and found it to be quite neutral in flavour. Would this be an appropriate selection?

I would like to brew a English Summer Ale and would love someone to throw together a 3G recipe for me. I have no experience formulating recipes. I have done a few batches of AG BIAB and am continuing to refine my process. I already have some Fuggles and some EKG hops so if the recipe used...

Thanks guys. I went with one of the bags from craft brewer. I will try to remember to update on how I go once it gets here. Also if people want to throw links up here to other Australia based brewing websites that might be useful for the future.

Hey guys. I am having a really hard time finding the best way to get a BIAB bag in Adelaide, Australia. None of the Australian homebrew shops I can find seem to sell them. Does anyone know of a place in Aus to get one or a company elsewhere that will ship here? Cheers

Just picking up on a small part of your question. 'I don't want it to over carb' If your beer is finished before you bottle it then the amount of priming sugar you use is what determines whether it will be over carbed. Time, temperature, yeast health and other factors determine how long to...

Here is another thought for you. When adding in top up water to a partial boil it actually takes quite a lot (read vigorous shaking for a few minutes) of mixing to fully combine the two mixtures of very different density. The other thought is that when doing extract (+/- specialty grains)...

I came across this link The Perfect House For Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse Is For Sale I couldn't help wondering, what plans other homebrewers would have for this set-up? My guess is a 9 story underground ex missile silo would have ample room for temperature controlled storage of...

Hey BeginnerBrewer, have you taken another gravity reading (hydro or refrac) to see what this beer is doing?

Hey dgmarquez, let us know what you are doing with this beer.

Are you using a hydro or refrac to measure gravity? If refrac then it reads off as soon as there is alcohol present and you need to adjust your reading to get the correct gravity. If you are warming it then the airlock bubbling could just be outgasing and not a sign of fermentation. If the...
