i was looking to go grain and go a Brewzilla. Would use rainwater as well. I hate bottling so if i get back into brewing i want to do it properly.

hear ya, that what i wanted to,

but i still like getting a root

 

[Lucky Luke]

its worth it just getting say two fermenters

I was running two and then me and a mate ran 3 for ages. Dont brew with a mate- you drink more.

Make sure you clean the bulbs with some metho before you start them to remove the oils your fingers placed on the bulb.

im a bit dirty on my tip shop (not the council guys who are fkn legends). I drop allot of stuff off to them and they wont give me anything back. Some stuff they are expensive on and wont budge.

Slack dogs. They’re literally selling what’s been discarded as rubbish. Should be priced to move quickly so it finds a home and doesn’t just end back up on the tip face.

If your making spirits no need to treat the rain water before use either.

with brewing

my recipe is this

the kit, say a coppers pale ale

filtered rain water is all i have so i boil it first

add to fermenter, like wort the kit

one tinny dash of the calcium powder for hardening,,

bag of ice , upto 23l

check temps add yeast


dont laugh to loud rewerb

Doesn’t the cold temps from the ice cause the yeast to stall? I prefer fermenting in winter so the bloody heat doesn’t kill the yeast.

The cleaning racks are the go. Rinse the bottles before they dry out and rinse them
With a sensitiser to get them ready to use.

in range then add yeast

im a new to brewing tho only done like 40 brews or something

about 5 went south 10 were ok, 20 were good enough to show off to ya mates with, plus another couple crap inventions with brown sugar, but had you trippin, stuff like that

 

[reza92]

metho i just use a slightly damp rag does it really have to metho

You need something to remove the oil. Water won’t do it. Metho or terps

This is what i wanted to get, I think @Rewerb put me on to them. https://www.kegland.com.au/brewzilla-65l-gen-3.html fk bottles ill go kegs

Just watch out you don’t add something that can survive the fermenting process but make the beer sour. One of the guys I know who has tank water (no town) do beer and spirits & uses RO units for the beer but not for the spirits.

Yeah old mate I know mostly kegs now. Still does bottles but that’s just for him around home or in case he wants to take 1-2 to a mates place etc.

havent had that happen here before but i suppose it might always be a possibility. If it happens once ill learn my lesson.
