I am currently making a system to do 150L batches, and as such I need to upgrade by bottling bucket and polypropylene hose with a tap to something that can bottle a batch of this size in a reasonable time frame. I have seen at a local microbrewery, they have a machine which has four nozzles...

I have read all over this forum about diacetyl rests, and when to use them, but I cant find anywhere how to do it exactly, and none of the stuff I've read has been exactly applicable to me. I have a few questions... 1. How do you do it? I gather raising the temp a bit or something to get more...

This probably will seem like an odd question, but I see heaps of people brewing IPAs, so I want to know what the fuss, and cistinction, is all about. What are the key differences between an IPA and an regular Pale Ale?

Howdy boys and girls, I am scaling up my operation and looking into automation. I've got some good idea from this forum and from the Australian equivilant, but I have one key issue that I would like to discuss here. I have read about people setting up a MLT that has a re-circulation pump...

I know I am supposed to chill the wort down after the boil before I aerate it, or else the disolved oxygen can oxidise different consituents in the beer causing bad flavors. But how cold does it have to be before aerating it is ok? I ask the question because I am proposing a chilling...

This is really an odd question...maybe more for a textile designer... I have an instant beer chiller which is usually used for chilling beer as it comes out of the keg for serving. I have been entertaining the idea of send my hot wort through there, then removing the hot and cold break...
