Well, I tried the beer after 3 of weeks bottle conditioning and well, damn, It came out REALLY nice.. A very slight sourness that I still think was from an infection, but wow, this stuff is definately quaffable. My housemate says it's as good as any golden ale he's tried before, and he has a fair pa...

I thought my sanitation was pretty damn good, and to be honest, I think the fermenter has a manufacturing flaw, looks a little like a small popped air-bubble in the floor of the container. One trick I found with the bottles, is I rinse after drinking, and leave them with the dirty dishes. Then when ...

Ok, so I bottled that batch on Saturday, and I still think it's infected but not too badly, so ti could be drinkable.. I tasted it b4 bottling and it has a tinge of sourness, but I think that may mellow with conditioning. We shall see in a couple of weeks. I cleaned the fermenter and let it sit over...

I honestly didn't expect a perfect brew first go, and am the kind of person that embraces mistakes. It is serio...

Hi Dave,
Which tap did you use? I've been considering a couple, but have concerns about the shape of the keggle near the base, I'm assuming a no-weld one is the way to go.. Could you provide a link to a product page of the one you used?

Cool, thanks.. I think it's all going to be OK. I pitched the yeast last night (US-05), wort temp 28 deg. and wrapped the fermenter in a wet towel to bring down the temp.. Woke to find a very vigorous ferment occurring (temp down to 26), with 3 INCHES of krausen on top! that's the most I've ever see...

If you're in Australia, I would recommend the silicon hose (on special) and the auto-siphon hose tip from this page http://www.gryphonbrewing.com.au/store/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... p?cPath=61 Also, grab some empty fresh wort kit cubes from a good LHBS for a deposit if you ...

First BIAB: What a cockup

Hi All, Tried my first BIAB yesterday, and despite me doing everything humanly possible to mess it up, I think it may turn out alright. touch wood. Bit of background about me.. I've done K&K's, Partials, etc before, so have a little bit of experience, not much. I'm NOT a perfectionist, I do a lot of...
