Good to see a fellow Aussie on here Sam! Haha

I'm from SA myself, the biggest thing you'll encounter this time of year is temp control.. Just keep an eye on it

 

[SamTheBrewinMan]

Thanks for the tip GapByear, i need them.
I got sent from the shop i purchase from a yeast with an ideal temp that's in between 11C and 15C. I have been surprised at how well my temp has stayed at 14C when the weather has been all over the place!! Hope your brewing is going well!

Thanks Paul.
Adding honey sounds great! I'm not sure if I'll be patient enough for the first brew to last 4 wks..... but see how i go. Drank the sample from the SG test today was unreal! 1018 by the way ; ) seems like I'm on track.

Well they made beer,


I'm making much better beer these days doing all grain. Temperature control is very important in beer making. The better control over it you have, the better beer you'll make.
Take your time and have fun with it. You'll only get better with time.
