Hey guys, just wondering can someone clear something up for me. I'm doing my first all grain probably next weekend, and I finally dialled in my numbers and recipe. I'll be batch sparging, and I'm fine with the mash volume and temp. 13.43L of water @ 75.7 degrees will give me my desired mash...

Hey guys, long time lurker.....not so long time poster. I'm not that confident with wiring, and thought I'd try and save myself the anxiety or building a keggle by buying an electric hot water boiler/tea urn. It's a 40litre buffalo boiler. I tried it out last night, and it reached 97.5 degrees...

His water should be fine, as it's the same as mine. Sanitizing with starsan, however I don't know what his step by step procedure is like Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey guys, I've noticed some mold in the tubing of my auto syphon, and was just wondering has anyone any ideas how best to clean it? And also the best way to prevent it again. The tubing of my syphon is long and thin and I don't have a clue how you could get the inside of it dry before putting...

I was abut too keen and was bustin my ass to try it so I'm hopin the flavours will mellow out a bit When it conditions more :-)

It was an old craigtube special....500g light dme and 700g dextrose . Filled the bucket up to 20litres I'm hopin it is just an early thing because the bottle also has very weak carbonation. But there was denying the very strong taste of alcohol

Hey guys, brewed a coopers Canadian blonde with some dme and dextrose a few weeks back. Say at 18 degrees the whole time and fermented nicely. Once it fermented out I left if for nearly two weeks and then bottled and primed. Been priming for about a week now, and tried the first bottle last...

Hey guys, managed to acquire two kegs, but I'm a bit stuck as to how to dismantle the spear!! Not the same kegs I've seen for keggle conversions before :-/ Anyone any ideas?
