    Mangrove Jacks Brewers Series Pilsner

    Brewed above, exact name is new Zealand Pilsner. About a year ago done Mangrove Jacks Czech Pils Craft Series. What a huge difference between those two. And I don't mean taste - the quality of craft series is so much higher - it tasted like a properly brewed beer. The New Zealand pilsner is just...

    Busy times from home brew shops

    Just checked few home brew suppliers and they all seem to be very busy, very often saying order will be delayed by one day. Guessing lots of us isolation/social distancing or "working" from home. I will brew something very soon as keg is getting low on volume. Apart from brew shops, micro...

    Generic oxi cleaner vs Chemipro wash and such

    To keep my robobrew clean, to remove protein residue and such I bought myself Chemipro Wash - but isn't it same staff as generic Oxi cleaner (much cheaper) or does it have some extra staff in it? Or maybe you can recommend something better to clean equipment after the brew?
