Hi all. I wanted to see if the above was possible since doing some reading suggests that fridges don't like outdoor setups unless you stump for one that is specifically built for outdoor use (and therefore costs a lot more). I was wondering about other people's experiences of running a fridge...

Hi I've looked around and read up in this but I still wanted to check my thoughts with you all. I've got my AG bottled and it's been bottled for two weeks at around 20 C. Now normally I'd then move the bottles on to our pantry floor as it's stone and probably drops then a few degrees...

Hi I'm putting together a pseudo lager recipe using 4kg of pilsner malt. In with that I intend on using 1kg of flaked rice. Is this too much? What percentage of the grain bill should be used for flaked rice? O the reason it's a pseudo lager is that I'm going to use mangrove jacks california...

Evening all, Quick question. I'm going to be batch priming my first AG brew tomorrow. Should be around 19 L and it fermented on average at 18C I think. Its an english brown ale so the calculators ive used have suggested 74 grams of priming sugar (dextrose). does that sound about right...

Hi, So far I've done one AG brew of a hobgoblin clone from HBC. All went well but this time I'm looking to do my own American Blonde Ale brew. Also I'll be doing a small batch in my BIAB setup hoping to produce around 10 L into the 15 L FV that I've bought. I'm trying to produce a blonde...

Hi all. I've been reading up on biab on the forum and I just wanted to check my thinking on a few points. I've already got a larger setup for 21 L brews (done my first ag last sunday). But I want to have a smaller setup so I can test ideas on recipes without having to produce such a large...

Evening all, So I've got my first ag sat in the fv bubbling away. Sitting around 18 to 19 degrees C and using the us 05 yeast so it's not aggressively bubbling but so far so good. Anyway, I know I need to measure the gravity later on in the fermentation to check when the gravity stops...

Evening all I'm attempting my first ag brew. It's the hobble wobble kit. Anyway the instructions state initial mash volume of 14 litres, top up volume at end of mash as 6 litres and then second sparge as 13 litres. I'm assuming I need to add on my vessel dead space loses and also grain...

Hi all. OK so I've put a 1/2 inch ball valve tap into my igloo ice cooler. Now I've cut and put together the copper Pipe (22mm) on the inside to help filter the grains when it comes to getting the wort out. I've not fixed any of the parts together just slotted them in. I wanted to know what...

Evening all, I've been doing some reading on fermentation temps. I've been monitoring the best places in the house for storing the fermenter. The best I can get at present is a temp that holds around 16 degrees C. I'll be using US05 for my first brew and while reading up on the yeast suggests...

Hi all. I've been doing some reading up and have tried searching the forum regarding cleaning and sanitizing equipment. I just wanted to double check however since I'm totally new to this. I'm going to be using starsan to sanitize my fv, bottling bucket, pipes, etc. Do I need to sanitize...

Evening all. Just saying hi. I've been nosing around here and on various sites for the last few weeks now and I can't wait any longer so I've started ordering the various bits i'll need to create my own all grain brewing setup in the kitchen (gf will be happy). I'm going for a 30L plastic...
