    2 kegs, 1 tank - am I doing it wrong?

    G'day brewers, I have 2 kegs in a commercial kegerator (1 beer, 1 soda water). They are fed by 1 gas tank via a tee piece. I don't force carb the beer - I just set and forget it at 10-12 psi. However I force carb the water at 40 psi but when I do this I disconnect the beer gas line. I've...

    First time kegger - flat foamy beer - NOOOooooooooo!!

    G'day brewers, I've got a problem with flat foamy keg beer. It's my first go at kegging and I did a lot of research (thanks YouTube). In short I made a kegerator out of a small fridge. 1 regulator, tee piece, 2 kegs and CO2 tank in the fridge, taps on the door (1 beer, 1 soda water). Here's my...

    BIAB flat beer - using dextrose

    G'day brewers, I've got a head-scratcher here. I do all-grain BIAB and I've noticed ever since bulk priming with dextrose (using the calc on this site) all my brews are on the flat side. Some background on how I roll: I mostly do pale ales, wheat beers, stouts My recipes are scaled to 15 L...

    Cold crash then bottle advise

    G'day brewers, I haven't CCd before and want to try it. I've had an ale in the fridge fermenting at 22C for 9 days and plan to bottle in 5 days. If I was to CC for the last 2-3 days at 3-4C what happens when it's bottling time? I prime bottles with dextrose using the calc on this site and I...

    SMaSH with BIAB advice

    Hey brewers, I have about 40 gram of Warrior hops left over and wanted to do a smash recipe to learn more about malt and hop characteristics. I was thinking of going maris otter for the grain. Thoughts? I brew small 15L batches with BIAB so 40gm hops, 3kg MO should be ok i hope? Any other tips...

    BIAB no-chill

    Hi all, Does anyone do no-chill BIAB? Currently I do 10L batches and I cool it by transferring to a pot sitting in an ice bath in my sink. It works well but the ice bags cost $8 (my freezer isn't big enough to make ice blocks) and it's another step/cost I'd like to remove if possible. I've been...

    Mini BIAB - racking

    Hey brewers, The first mini biab I did I bottled straight from the FV and used carb drops - nice beer, pretty happy with it. For the 2nd one, I took the advise from my LHBS and added dextrose to a second FV, did the whirlpool thing and bottled from that. It was a bit annoying in terms of loss...

    Mini BIAB - mash / sparge water volumes

    Howdy, I'm an all grain mini-BIAB noob (done 2 brews) and have some questions about water quantities. Generally I mash in a 32L pot on the stove and do a dunk sparge (sometimes I rinse over the wort, what's better?) and I want to know if it matters how I split the mash and sparge water up? For...
