My Shed Floor Ale was so called because almost the whole batch ended up there.... Left the tap open just a tiny bit. The shed smelt terrific. Some would argue you aren't really a brewer 'til you have lost a batch! ;) You should be pretty right. Give the tap a good clean before you bottle, just like ...

I don't celebrate it myself, but I read about a celebration held in Tasmania. There are some pretty intrepid guys down there that would have a celebration of 'Ozmas' around the winter solstice. They would lug a heap of traditional christmas-type food in to the Lake Meston hut way out on the central ...

When I was first interested in BIAB I read the AHB thread where PP and a few other guys were doing the original experiments that started it all off. It is a bit inspirational to read about the process and the innovations along the way. The hard work is done, now we can just coast along on the coat-t...

With my vast experience - 1 BIAB to date.... 1. Generally 28 litres end of boil. 2. As with Hashie, Keggle, where the opening diameter is less than the keggle wall diameter. 3. Yes, of a sort. I rigged a rope and carabiner from the shed roof, and tied off another rope to the bag. 4. No mash out. Ye...

I've had so many brews with that off flavour that I still find it hard to believe that the beer I'm enjoying was made by me. Happy days :P I hear yer Tom :clap: Just cubed my third BIAB a few days ago, and have started drinking the first. My brews got better when I went from kits to extract, but st...

Good question. I will be interested in the answer too, just to see if I committed a sin by pouring my current brew onto the entire US-05 yeast-cake of the last. I have done it once before in similar circumstances to yours jrodie, pouring a big all-extract IIPA onto a just-bottled-off Nottingham yea...

Number three - Single-hop ale

Howdy again crew BIAB #2 went into the cube today (a Little Creatures sort of Ale), which gets the mind focussing on #3.... I was thinking a single-hop, all-Australian Ale; no imported ingredients. So the recipe I have been playing with on the Calculator looks like this.... 22 litres into fermenter ...

beer keg to kettle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoKxkNdPM9U" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is what i did I did the same as you. I had a mate weld three stainless lugs onto the cut-out top, so I can use it as a lid. Ends up a mearvellous kettle. Only issue is pulling the bag, ...

Hey FBB I grabbed a brass ball-valve tap at Bunnings, with some fibre washers and a nut. I hammered a flat spot down near the bottom, drilled a hole and opened it up to the correct size with a file. You would need to be careful not to make the hole too big. Obviously.... Mostly people do prefer stai...

Hey FBB I used almost the same recipe (simplified a bit) for my first one, and only a couple of days before you! Had some teething problems also, so yours made me smile! Mine has been in the fermenter 5 days, and the hydro sample I tasted last night was marvellous. Have decided that this is almost a...

Thanks for the support chaps. This is a terrific support for the uninformed neophyte. :? I had a sample taste last night out of the hydrometer tube. It tastes terrific, even after just four days in primary. Can't wait to get this one into the bottle and carbed.... Only about 24 sleeps to go.... :dri...
