Beer Brewing Essentials - Equipment Advice
Posted: Sat Feb 20, 2016 3:38 pm
So with a long and ... well... not so great talk with the missus im going to be shutting up shop with distilling after i run my last batches. No reopen date in the foreseeable future :shock:
And Im told the still needs to go :scared-eek:
Love home brew though so didnt go without a fight. still lost though :laughing-rolling: and knowing this is a distilling forum there are still a lot of members here that have brewed beer from what i have read.
So im going to start making beer. gave it a thought long time ago but loved distilling more. So with beer making legal she came around... took a while though :angry-banghead:
Ill have 16L of 66% WB/CF stuff aging so wont run out for a while if i sub in beer
I'll take a trip to my local home brew shop, being Annerly, which im not fond of, and ill ask them a few questions on what i need to brew beer successfully. Not fond of this because they will try and sell the whole shop to me :violence-smack: Could try a different one if any brissy beer makers know of a good one for beer?
Im wondering if anyone can help me out and tell me what i will need to make beer. Tools and Equipment? such as bottle brushes for bottles or something? All the basic small stuff beginners never think of when starting. heat belt or pad for winter? the alcometer a beginner might not think of or SG meter. got the alco and SG meters but im sure there are lots of things ill find i need and would rather know what i can first before i go in head first.
I will be doing a fair amount of googling and YouTubeing too. Unlike distilling i will have this researched before i start
My boiler and power controller will be gone too so cant use those. so thought i could boil grains in a large stock pot?
If im not distilling ill make beer so any advice on what i should gather up to make it successfully will be greatly appreciated
Thanks to anyone who can help me out in this dark day b-(
Cheers
