Just bought one of the brass turbomatic washer. I understand it fits to a standard outdoor tap. Anybody has any idea how to fit it on a standard laundry tap?
My laundry tap has a screw on thing like the outdoor taps, but just slightly big for the turbomatic washer to fit in it


Thanks

Don't remember what the OG was but the temp that i have kept it at is 19-22degrees.. i made two brews at the same time...both ales and the other brew has been bubling away nicely and krausen formed on the fermenter

My second go at brewing a dark beer. First one being the malt shovel oatmeal stout, whcih turned out really drinkable with only 3 weeks in the bottle. This second one being Wassa's chocolate mahogony porter with the honey, dark malt and cascade hops.

BOth times, the yeast died on me and after 3 ...

just put down wassa's chocolate mahogony porter.Just wondering if it's worth priming it with brown sugar instead of dextrose?

Thanks everyone.

What I might do is leave the two as it is...and see what happens. I will take your suggestion Geoff to put on another APA (definitely my first one) right after this one.

Thanks

Didn't add any hops

Just realised i made this mistake. been doing kit brews for a while now (kit and sugar/malt) so thought i do a stove top brew.

Did two brews last week, a canadian blond and a australian pale ale.. botht coopers. Read in this website that you shouldn't boil your kit cause it takes away the hop that ...

Rinse after you drink, then using the bottle rinser i use the no rinse sanitiser. Works well

around 1 litre of water used

Never broke a screw top bottle using these cappers. Yes requires more pressure but don't worry...

yeah.. it didn't froth up when i tried it in a bottle wihtout any dextrose.. but onces i primed it froth up at the very end.. fermentation has definitely finished cause it has been in the fermenter for around 2 weeks and 3 days...

might try racking next time

So with the waterbed heater, it is perfectly safe to just put the fermenter on it to heat? Found one in the shed.. probably from the last owners who owned the house.. so might as well put it in good use

i wouldn't be too worried about.. wait till tomorrow and if there are still no signs of fermentation happening such as bubbling through the airlock or some visible krausen or a sg reading to see if there are any changes.. if still no signs of fermentation i will repitch another packet of yeast..
i ...

I am not sure if this ever happened when we bottled a while ago, but we bottled our first brew after a long time and after priming the bottles (used up all the three fermenters so didn't have an extra one for bulk priming) with dextrose and filled it up for capping, there was so much froth in the ...

Might sound like a dumb question Ryan but why not below 1016?

Wish i knew that before i pitched the yeast that came with the kits. The IG was pretty high though... it was 1050 and when i checked again today it is 1040..so it is going steady

Repitched safeale yeast yesterday.... krausen forming on top now... phew... thanks for the advice

i just checked the gravity again today and much less sediments today... but will definitely rack before i bottle this one


Thanks

I just put down a malt shovel oatmeal stout. Had one from one of my mates and it was actually quite nice...basically two tins of the kit and 200 g of corn syrup. Put on a brew belt to keep the temp at around 24-26 degrees. pitched the yeast on thursday the two packs and not bubbling (whcih i am not ...

thanks.. makes me feel so much better

I've done probably 4 brews now and never had this happen to me before, not sure if normal.

Took out some beer from the fermenter into hydrometer testing jar to test gravity and there are a lot of sendiments coming out of it, it is actually in chunks. What's happening? Never happened before.
Any ...
