iBooz2 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 6 hours ago, interceptor said: I have read that the hotbreak is good for the final beer. The crud I skim is mainly husk matter as it all ends up stuck to the sides of the kettle above wort line when temp is lowered to achieve a rolling boil so i makes no further contact with the wort after that anyway. Helps with cleaning up later. You think it should be stirred back in from kettle edges to mix again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill the brewzilla to slightly more than you need for your mash today and boil chlorine off (no lid), allow to cool (also with lid off) overnight and you should be right to do a batch tomorrow. Any of your neighbors got a rainwater tank that can spare 50 L for you in order to get you cracking? Edited March 19, 2022 by iBooz2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it turns out my neighbour who I have become friends with & shared beers has 2 massive tanks but he is a tightar..... so that could be difficult, I appreciate your help though, Cheers.

As @Shamus O'Sean said it's potassium or sodium metabisulfite. I bought a kilo and as Shamus said only a smidgen will do the job. I used to measure it out but now just eyeball it with a plastic spoon. 1kg will do you for over 1000 brews. It takes 15 mins or so to work so I just add it when starting to heat the strike water. https://beerco.com.au/products/sodium-metabisulphite#:~:text=Sodium Metabisulphite is a strong,and beer and wine bottles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickers Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 brew stocks are low but plenty of ingredients on hand thanks to big w 20% off and a trip to the LHBS this morning for hops so I am going to attempt a double brew day tomorrow. first up will be the SMOTY saison.. the standard cooper's smoty recipe with BE2 added and using BE-134 yeast. a bit of an experiment, i reckon it has potential. second will be the canadian blonde can with BE3, a partial of maris otter, cascade and amarillo hops with nottingham yeast. cleaning my FVs, taps etc tonight to get a good head start on it all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was reading some old posts on this subject & came across this, after looking at the practice by PB2 it would appear that may get me out of trouble as I have a 20l plastic BPA free Jerry Can, I will buy another one today from Bunnings & that should get me into business a bit sooner. I realise know that there may have been issues with beer quality/taste etc, so I will address it. Cheers for all of the comments & advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT5 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 You could also trundle up Anzac Highway to Port Road and fill up a couple of 20 litre containers from the tap at the old West End brewery. That water comes from the aquifer the brewery used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregT5 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 That's a shame. I thought the funds from the water (it used to be a gold coin donation) went to charities etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope you won't get much out of there anymore, BTW if you trundle up Anzac Highway you will end up in Glenelg turn right for the swamp ( Port Adelaide ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
