Thank you for the feedback. Just thought I'd provide a quick update. I came home last night to assess the situation. The sanitized aluminium foil was still intact. As you can see from the images below, I've been to the local hardware store and engineered a new airlock. :D When I got...

Last night I started a mixed-berry wheat beer using WPL380. I had the 30L carboy filled to the 24L mark. After about 12 hours I had a slow but steady fermentation starting. I came home 2 hours later and the airlock was full of muck. Then before my very eyes, the airlock exploded and I had a...

Warning: don't try this at home ... I had the 30L carboy filled to the 24L mark. After about 12 hours I had a slow but steady fermentation starting. I came home 2 hours later and the airlock was full of muck. Then before my very eyes, the airlock exploded and I had mixed berries all over the...

Anyone? Please let me know if this post is better suited in another section within the forums. Cheers!

G'day, I'm hoping to brew a fruity crisp summer beer with light body and a mix of sweet and tartness. Inspiration comes from my local "Rich's Summer Frenzy". After some research and discussion with the local home brew guy, I've come up with the following: 1.7kg Coopers Wheat Beer 1.5kg Briess...

I thought I had created a monster ... (reminded me of the sulphur vents at Mt. Io in Hokkaido, Japan). Next time I get this smell I'll take your advice and rack it into a secondary. Thanks for the feedback!

G'day, I've recently brewed a batch of apple cider with juice from the supermarket, so I thought I'd try to experiment with similar juice. I picked up a 3 litre (0.8 gallon) bottle of Apple and Mango juice, added some SafCider yeast and crossed my fingers ... The night I pitched it, it was a...

Update: Good news! I just bottled 3 gallons of my first ever brew! :ban: I was somewhat concerned about making bottle bombs, but wasn't too keen on the idea of flat cider, so only used about 2/3 of a teaspoon of brown sugar in each 750ml (25 ounce / 0.2 gallon) bottle. There's another...

Done. Current gravity is 0.96 (SG was approx 1.05). What would you recommend? Cheers. Thanks for the advice.

OK, it's been about 14 days since I added the remaining juice to the carbouy, so a total of 15 litres. I also added 1 kg of white sugar. OG was approx 1080. The brew has been fermenting quite well. [I love the White Labs, does well in the colder climates.] I'm thinking it must be close to...

G'day, Greeting from Australia. I'm a big fan of alcoholic cider (I understand it also also known as hard cider), so I thought I'd have a go at making my own. After a few days researching on the 'net, reading forums, youtube etc., I decided to try fermenting reconstituted apple juice from the...

G'day, Greetings from Australia. I've just started my first brew, and hoping it's the first of many. I'm about to head off to the appropriate forum to seek feedback on my current project. Please feel free to provide advice and/or constructive criticism :) Cheers
