Anyone know of any brew related shops which sell these as a package, or at least in the same place? Cheers Hawk

Hi all Been quite a while since last post. I recently moved house and so haven't been able to set up my rig for a while. Finally that is happening. Need to get a decent circuit connected to my garage. What i'm after is some advice/suggestions on how to mount my control box. The internal...

Hi all Another question. I brewed a belgium pale ale on Sunday. I did a started of a while labs belgium abby liquid yeast, in 100g of a malt starter i got from the local brew shop, and put that in with 30C water. I pitch the yeast simply by cutting the top, not realising that the liquid yeast...

Hey all Bought the cheapest, keg. Sadly a mistake. Can't seal it. Have replaced the seal, the actual thing is the keg not the cheap, it is the one i've used many time. It is the lid - not the same one one from the cheap kegs. Cannot seal it. Any suggested? Go buy a new one? Will never buy one...

Hi all Just just got my setup sorted. All working happily - cept the volt/amp meter. Anyone have a SYL-2352? All i have it for is to tell my the mash-tun temp, but i can't figure out how to turn it to Celsius. Anyone know how to? The manual doesn't seem to tell me how to. Cheers Hawk

Hi all So was hoping to get my brew system ready for easter brewing. Just got a 32A circuit installed and have finished (or thought i had) my control box. Plug it in for the first time and turn the key... Pop. slight smell of smoke. Also switched the breaker. I've replaced the fuse, and turned...

Hi all Almost finished on my control box. Have one question i was hoping someone could assist me with. Where do i wire in the volt meter? It's got two wires and is different to the electric brewery one. I've otherwise mostly followed their design. It's this volt/amp meter...

Hi all Buying the final bits for my rig. Have decided to go for a tri-thermowell for the HLT temp sensor. Figure the most important temp reading is not for the HLT but the transfer. Problem is, can't find where to buy one. Anyone know where to? Thanks Hawk

Hey all Decided that the new brew rig won't be ready for some months, so going back to the old grainfather for this weekend's brew. Anyone know what the EBC/SRM for light xtal is? I've picked it up as a substitute for Caramunich (i think). Hoping to get the right details in beersmith. Brewing...

Hi all Been a while since i posted, so thought i'd start a new thread as to what's going on in my garage atm. Current in the process of upscalling from by grainfather. Have purchased a 3x70L HERMS pot system from Cheekypeaky brewery. This includes almost everything i need, short of a sparge...

Hi all I recently completed a keganator setup. Works beaut. I need to sort out how to clean the lines easily and cheaply. Concluded that the carbonating cap would be ideal. Problem is, i have pin lock kegs and have not been able to find much in the form of pin lock caps. Only ball lock, with is...

Hi all Quick one. I'm currently storing my beer (have a few brews bottled at present in various phases) in my garage, which is bloody cold (in Canberra and the garage gets well below 10 - say 5 degrees constant?) and wondering whether it's having an effect on the carbonation process. I've...

Hi all So pausing from an all grain brew for a once off last time kit brew, wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions. I have a coopers dark ale kit as well as a range of hops, including American Cascade 2014, German northern Brewer and German Hallertau Is there some way i could use...

Hey all I did my second all grain brew on sunday in my grainfather. As far as i can tell it all went well, except the sparge was delayed while i heated the water to the right temp. Perhaps 20 mins or so. Kept the wort at about 72 degrees though during this time. Now, almost three days later...

Hi all So i'm not completely new to brewing (close though), but went out a bought a Grainfather couple of weeks ago, and had a go at my first all grain brew last week. Did a test from the fermenter (been in there for 1 week) and i'd say first attempt was a bit of a failure. Not that i didn't...
