G’Day Craig, not exactly but I have had a few similar Micromatic fonts apart to check the lamp voltage and they can be fiddly. Rule #1 Dont get rough with it. You will have to take it off the bar and check for screws etc under the bottom plate etc, I’m guessing you may have to disassemble the...

Starsan will attack certain 'synthetic rubbers' if left soaking for too long, others it has no effect. I think silicon hose is one of them but slowly! It will dissolve certain rubber gloves in a week, I was shocked....

I couldn’t face one but watching thread with interest….. maybe try posting on an American brewing site they use all-sorts of &%#@ :-}

G’Day Shaun, my short answer is no, I always over-pitch by a factor of 2,3,&4 depending on the wort type and Og but you get to a point where you’re just wasting money. I have read there is a reason not to over-pitch?? but my taste buds say otherwise. Now under-pitching is another can of worms...

Make sure that everything that contacts your wort, especially after the boil, is cleaned and sanitised.... Good Luck

I know they’re expensive but the 20L Braumeister + the 10L malt pipe is an awesome bit of kit! I’ve had mine 10 years, its made a LOT of beer and never missed a beat…..

If you have a choice buy the Coopers it was my favourite kit beer by far...

Type of yeast and good management of same. Temperature control across the process Cleanliness and sanitation Etc etc etc, lots of little things add-up I got my last bitter down to 1002, 1004 is normal, they used to finish at +1012 (I brew 7% beers) I like my 'house bitter' dry and bitter! Read...

Very well put nickj; I 'ruined' a beer and invented Sticke Altbier!, OK I wasn't the first but it was bloody nice….

A good clean and sanitise them #1

Some of the Coopers Beers have a 'best after' date! as do mine, how good is your bottling cleaning and sanitation?

Did you see how much cocaine was hoovered up the other day by a 30 countries operation? 160 tonnes!! I dont know what scares me more; the fact that much coke has a ready market or the level of government / police / customs corruption that could (does) buy!! Tried to work out how much it was...

Despite the loss of C02 I’m more comfortable having C02 in my lines and kegs when they are left empty. I think having damp air left in them would significantly increase the risk of contamination despite the fact they (kegs) will get rinsed in starsan prior to reuse. my2c, Cheers…

Good yeast management is worth the effort, can make a good beer great!

G’day Brewski, after many years I still use carb drops! mainly for convenience, 2 drops should be perfect for a well carbonated 500ml beer, I do find they can be difficult to dissolve. I will always take my pets’ and give them a good shake once per days for 3 days, if you dont you can see the...

Clean and sanitise like your life depends on it! I use Gin in the airlocks, hate the stuff.....

I get 1 to 1 at 56psi takes about 3 hrs to produce about 35 litres 4 YO and running at 2 ppm tds :-} never touched the membrane or filters.Your beer will luv it....

May I introduce Charles (retired) he spent 4 years as a stud dog, couldn’t run to save his life but he kept the girls happy! We call him 'Chucky' cos he barfs at the drop of a hat…… Most dogs have owners, Greyhounds have servants!
