Tea spoon of chalk for all beers or just the stout? I'm interested in the water adjustments but struggling to get my head around it all.
Nice one dude! I had pretty good results with that one myself when I was brewing up kits, subbed in a dried lager yeast from memory and some hops, lovely fluffy white head and like you say much more satisfying than a tui anyday! I would rather dri...
Almost done cleaning (PBW) and sterilising (Star San) my bottles for a couple of batches that are ready to bottle tomorrow and later in the week. Is it ok to leave the star san in the bottles until bottling time, then just empty and use or am I be...
There are two methods of measuring EBC (Traditional and new). The traditional method has a higher value than the new for the same malt. If 1350 is by the traditional system then the new would be roughly 1000 (I think??) and a little over 500 SRM.
...
What's the idea behind drawing off the 1 litre at 20mins and adding hops into it?
Confused over the colour ratings of Roasted Barley. I usually use SRM in Beersmith but thought why not go with EBC as the malt analysis sheets use the same. So I converted an Irish red recipe and updated the details for my Roasted Barley as per th...
I'd be keen mate, not sure how drinking homebrew would go down in there though! Maybe meet for some beers on tap and exchange the HB goods for later sampling :)
Renaissance MPA - Really nice beer this, very impressed with how drinkable this beer is with such a high ABV and the large amounts of hops in it. Def keen to try the Rakau hops out after sampling this.
Homebrew - Bo Pils - Nice refreshing bo pils...
Just mashing in an ESB:
1.056 if all goes well.
94% Marris Otter
4% Pale Crystal
2% Dark Crystal
42 IBU's Goldings/Fuggles at 60min
25g Goldings at flame out
S-04
Word of caution!
I brought my immersion chiller from brewerscoop and it comes with like a barbed end which the hose slips on perfectly, nice and tight, hose clip to tighten it right up. First time I came to use it last week (didn't test, stupid!)...
That pint looks awesome mate, nice one!
Have you brewed this before Warra? I take it with the name you are trying to clone the Hobgoblin? This was my first BIAB all grain attempt and whilst I thought it was ok to start with as time goes by I'm not that impressed with the beer. My recipe...
I brought one of these from Ross recently and it was $110 when converted to NZ$ and delivery. Well worth the money though, got mine hooked up and fermenting my Okky at 10c swt as.
I'm only 6 all grain brews in but have been buying my base malts in 5Kg amounts and trying different ones out depending on the beer I'm brewing. I have been going for Marris Otter for the English type beers, ADM pils for the lager types (although ...
Cheers mate, will do. Bit disappointed as still having trouble with my numbers. Was fine pre boil but ended up about 8 points lower gravity than expected and only 1L extra wort. Think I overcompensated for trub after the amber ale but this beer ha...

- About Me:
- Originally from England but lived in Wellington for last 4 and a half years. Got into brewing a year ago with a coopers dark ale kit and a kilo of dextrose. Turned out like coca cola! After that I started replacing the dextrose with enhancer packs, then LME/DME. Replaced the kit yeasts with safale and started adding some fresh hops and steeping some grains.
So the brewing bug has well and truly took a hold and am now experimenting with BIAB brewing. I'm sure kegging, beer fridges and growing hops isn't too far away!
