    Ever feel that the beer Gods have it in for you?

    Thursday night one of the kegerator taps decides to spring a leak and dumps a full keg of beer on the garage floor, it then dumped a 3 week old bottle of gas to atmosphere. Tonight I'm prepping a starter for a wheat beer and there's an ominous crack and fizzing noise from my conical. I turned...

    Some advice on my first AG lager please

    Like it says I'm intending to brew my first lager Monday and there are a few things I'd like your thoughts on. I'm not intending any particular style, this is after all homebrew and we can brew what we like. But I have some NZ Motueka hops which supposedly make a nice lager. Which leads me to...

    Advice on a more adventurous brew please.

    Having run out of cornie space I'm contemplating doing a brew Monday which will be bottled :o Hence I'm contemplating something a little more adventurous than my usual Pales.

    Almost an anniversary brew. Chilumbus AIPA.

    October 6th last year was the day I made my 4th and last kit brew, deciding I wanted to be more involved than tipping a tin into a bucket I turned to the dark side. OK so I'm 2 days out but I have the day off so it seemed like a good idea to have an anniversary brewday. Also AG one wasn't until...

    Things I've learnt today

    Firstly, don't stop brewing 4 weeks before you go away for a 3 week holiday... my kegerator is now empty :( Secondly don't forget the campden tablets (just had to chuck 2 batches of TCP flavoured ale) Thirdly don't rely on your water authorities report for calculating CRS additions, I've...

    Weisse dispensing advice needed

    I'm having some issues dispensing my first Weisse from my kegerator, basically in accordance with the "guidelines" I've carbonated it quite high (30 psi at 12 degrees), as expected it was rather foamy. So I've switched my usual 5ft of 3/16 beer line for a 12ft length, now it pours a bit slower...

    New type of temperature controller.

    I've just come across this while looking for an STC-1000 on ebay. It appears to either heat OR cool but the interesting bit is that it switches 30 amps so could replace a PID and SSR for controlling an element. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-Tempe ... 43a92d6b00

    Fermenting fridge temperature query

    I'm using my fermenting fridge for the first time today (just pitched into AG24, a hefe). I'm aware t6hat the fermentation will give off heat and my brew will therefore be warmer than the fridge, but by how much? If I'm trying to keep 20L of wort at 17 degrees what should my fridge be set at?

    My fridges bypass operation.

    I've been looking for a fridge to use for fermenting in for a while now, but I've had no luck.... until yesterday when I was contacted by the owner of one I'd bid for on ebay.
