    Tips you would like to have known when you first started brewing?

A spunding valve on the receiving keg makes that process easier. Filling your (purged) kegs by weight (sitting the keg...

    What came in the mail for you today?

    An immersion chiller - going to try a hop stand. I've had success with 'whirlpool' additions (hop addition at end-of boil, stir & let sit for 30 minutes). With the immersion chiller I'm planning to do a whirlpool addition, then bring the temp down to between 71C & 77C, add more hops, stir and...

    Aerating with O2, filter?

    At least 50 batches aerated using those bernzomatic oxygen canisters, with no in-line filter & no crook flavours from the resulting beer.

    Getting Back to All Grain - a faster better ghetto system

    Immersion elements are great. I used one for a long-time when I had a ten gallon cooler and stockpot. It was handy for both heating mash-water in the cooler, and boiling the wort. I used to hang it over the side of a mash paddle which straddled the diameter of the cooler/stock-pot. It was a...

    A BYO recipe says to let wort sit 15min before cooling – why?

    Interesting thread from a guy doing a Uinta Wyld clone - describes a lower temp hop-stand. Includes a link to a podcast from a hop grower who talks about maximising hop aroma by steeping at lower temperatures post-boil...

    Speidel Braumeister (brewmaster)

    I live in Australia & recently had a 20 litre sent FedEx from Germany via craftbrewer.com.au. Everything internal was tied and taped, so nothing could rattle & cause scratches/dings. The packaging seemed fine and it arrived in perfect condition. The only problem I had was getting the driver...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I have a day off tomorrow and will be brewing a base recipe for Arrogant Bastard, though it won't be AB as I'll be substituting Galaxy for all the hop additions. It is springtime here in Sydney Australia and it should be a lovely day to be out in the back yard.
