This is the best link to a guide on what to put with what. As a noob.. I am just getting the hang of placing flavors etc. thanks for the link amandabab.. Awesomeness!!! :mug:

Thanks man.. Next tap is a resin Spider-Man head from a bobble head toy.. Looks awesome!

Yeah still sold on the STC though.. If this chest freezer I'm bidding on eBay doesn't cool enough.. I have an idea of a water cooled PC radiator unit with twin PC fans attached to PVC tubing inside the chamber.. A reptile heating pad for the heat.. Sounds fiddly though.. Could work.. Need to...

Check out this link.. There is a few like this in the DIY forum.. It's inspired me to build one of my own.. I brew in my garage, and in australia it's well hot.. 31 Celsius in there.. So this is a must.. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/another-tss2-controller-box-build-195713/

Cool idea man :mug:

I am now bidding for a chest freezer for $3.00 on eBay.. It doesn't freeze.. But it cools.. Perfect for brewing I'd say.. I'll rig up a reptile heat mat inside and wire up a STC -1000 eventually.. Will keep you posted!!

I was thinking of adding some flavourings, dried orange peel or honey.. I think secondary is the best for this right? Anybody got any tips for this procedure.. Especially honey.. How can I infuse a honey flavor in my secondary without adding too much sugar as to prime it?? If that's makes sense lol

Fantastic guys!! Thanks so much for the info.. I really love this forum.. It's helped me heaps so far.. Thanks again. :mug:

Awesome man.. Cheers! Yeah I actually boiled the grains.. Yeah bit of a cock up.. Lol.. But I think it should be ok.. Excuse my newbness..but what do actually mean by secondary?? :P

Yeah I was a kit.. Amber ale, forgive my ignorance, I am new to all this. I added my dextrose for fermentation, not the priming sugar. It has subsequently had a healthy fermentation as far as I am aware, it's been bubbling away nicely. Just was worried that it would mess up the brew if I added...

Hi all, I am a newb to brewing, but I was after some help. Doing an Amber ale extract, added 150g of Choc malt grains, LME and Fuggles hops for extra flavour. (I boiled the grains and hops, yeah I know bad move) and a 1kg of dextrose. My og was 1.040 ish.. The yeast was standard from the kit (...

This is my Sunbeam Beer Mate keg dispenser tap. I was inspired by seeing all these cool taps.. So I glued an old resin skull onto a spare tap handle.. What do you think?

Thanks heaps guys. Ill keep you posted on the ourtcome. :)

Yeah it was a kit, but I added some Fuggles hops at the boil... Probably not a good idea8

Do you think adding honey instead of priming sugar will help with the astringency if its there?

Any way of perhaps adding honey at the priming stage instead of sugar to help with the astringency??

Yeah all good. I was looking for more of a smoother finish to this beer too.. Looks like that might be out the window due to the boiling of the grain and subsequent extracting of tannins. Will it give a acidulous, unpleasant flavour? What am I too expect with such disregard to the well being of...

Feinbera, you are awesome. The exact info I was looking for. I was afraid I ruined the batch by boiling, but I think I should be ok. I won't boil the water next time, keep it at nice 170F. I will totally do what you said next brew. Thanks a bunch! :)

Look, I'm new to this, it was an extract can of amber ale, I wanted to add some additional flavour, so I added some cracked Choc malt grains. I brought about 4 liters up to the boil, added the grains for 6mins, then turned off the gas. I then let it steep for 14mins. I have written this about 3...

Ahhh ok my appologies, I did boil my grains for about 6mins then switched the heat off for about 14mins. Steeping the grains. Sorry bout the confusion. I really appreciate the comments, I was worried that the sugars won't ferment but I have a very active fermentation going on right now, bubbling...
