Recently I purchased 50L of amazing beer from a brewing mate of mine who sells his beer at craft pubs to assist in a xmas party that will be happening soon.

I've put a 20L keg in my kegerator but where previous beers have poured fine this beer it quite foamy and takes a while to settle to half a ...

I've been reading about the amazing Wassa's Honey Porter which is best left in a bottle for 3 months. Now I used to bottle but am now in love with my kegs and was wondering if I could store this in a keg.

Would it have the same effect? Should the kegs be stored chilled?

Thanks.

spout. The other tap was leaking as well but that was at the washer which was at the connection to the fridge which eas easy fixed by replacing the washer.

I have myself a kegerator at home with two 'pub style twist taps'. one is working fine so it's not the end of the world but my other tap is pissing out beer when it shouldn't be.

I have pulled it apart and put it back together as I really don't know what I'm doing. Does anyone have any information ...

I've just been looking at beersmith to assist in guiding me with brewing. How easy is the BREWSHEET funtion to follow?

Has anyone else had the fortune to try the Rex Attitude brewed by New Zealand brewers Yeastie Boys?

it was on at the local a while back for their NZ Spectapular and it is the most interesting beer I have ever tried and it's a very love/hate beer.

From their webpage
They said it couldn't be done ...

Thanks Oliver, You've been a great help.

I've just read during my searches about Cube Conditioning where one would store wort before fermentation as well as reading about cold conditioning.

Whare are the benefits of this and how would one go about cold conditioning?

Cold steeping? never heard of that one.

Also another possible really silly question, how do you know what grains/malt/yeast goes best together? If I want to make a fruity beer I assume I would stay away from dark malts??

Thanks heaps Oliver,

Reading the section on grain I'm a little confused,

Does the grain need to be broken up (wizzed in a food processor) as I thought this was the case?
I also thought the grain needed to be put in at a certian temp not cold water and then brough to that temp.

I've done a few brews with kit form and recently I bought a Bock Extract kit from daves home brew to try and do something a little different.

It had basic instructions with grain, malt, etc but as I'm quite new and cluleless to all of this the bags were labeled BAG 1, BAG 2, etc so I don't quite ...

I've put a can of Cascade Chocolate porter, 1kg of malt (as advise by HB shop) and filled it upto 20l (also as advised by HB shop).

It doesn't appear to be a leak in the fermenter as when I squease the fermenter the airlock goes up, also the airlock was bubbling away like crazy before and now ...

Greetings one and all,

I have just recently put in a cascade Chocolate porter into the fermenter and as I was in a little bit og a rush I put in the yeast while it was @ 26 degrees. For the next day the fermenter was bubbling like mad and then as the fermenter has gotten to 24 degree's the bubbling ...

Overall - its a great place, I do like it - I actually wish they removed some tables and made it a bit more like a bar as opposed to a real sit down, restaurant feel in some parts. The beer is not cheap - it is on par with me going to the Belgian Beer Cafe - but the place packs out, so I guess they ...

Thanks heaps guys for putting my mind at ease. I got a brew belt and the beer has been bubbling away quite nicely.

Temp today was 16 degrees and still no fermentation.... got myself a brew belt and will see if that helps...

Do I need to re-pitch the yeast or is the cool temps making the yeast still ok?

tanks guys... II'm making a honey wheat beer so I've put in a can of what, 500grams of honeyt and 500grams of malt as I was given by the brew store.

Current tep is 17 degrees which i think is probaly a little low.

Tis is also the first time I haven't actually put in powder but te homebrew guy gave ...

Greetings one and all,

With my previous brews and advise I have read, I put everything in the primary fermenter and the add yeast where I leave it to so it's work.

I've just pu in a honey wheat beer in an the can says to stir in the yeast for 30 seconds... which I did without thinking...

I've ...

Bastards! I just got back from Melb and didn't read this forum before I left.

I had a black wattle beer the other day.... it was rather yummy.

I agree, it's not a a bad place and it surprisingly large.
