    Dual Font Rebuild/Cleanup

    Update: I managed to get it off. Holy hell that took some effort. Used the monkey wrench to provide some grip and after a lot of struggling and cursing and what feels like a palm full of blisters, it found its way off. Here's what we are left with. Doesn't look too complicated from here...

    Dual Font Rebuild/Cleanup

    Will grab some steel wool and give it a bit of a rub down to get it looking nice again. I was thinking the top may have been screwed on to the pipe, but couldn't get it to budge. At the moment I'm limited to using boiling water and the freezer. So far, neither methods have worked. If it does...

    Dual Font Rebuild/Cleanup

    Hey guys, The FIL got given the following setup the other day and was hoping to get it cleaned up and running again. Has anyone seen or used one of these types of font setups, and if so, how do I go about replacing the lines and getting everything cleaned up (in dire need of a good scrubbing)...

    Epic Hop Zombie DIPA

    If you get a recipe together, be sure to post your thoughts on it. I would love to have a clone of this at home, in larger, cheaper quantities. I reckon she might be more impartial to the Sink The Bismarck IPA or the End of History beer from BrewDog. Either way, I wouldn't be declining an...

    Whats In The Glass (commercial)

    It's definitely different. I just poured myself a glass then, and instantly from the smell I knew it would be what I was expecting. It has that sour smell to it, but not so much in a way that it is off-putting. The first sip met my expectations. I only had a small sip to start with, but it...

    Whats In The Glass (commercial)

    A bit late posting this, but better late than never I suppose. My order form Int. Beer Shop came a few weeks back with a mix of different styles to try out. I picked 6 in total for my first order (gets expensive when you start picking them out), and here is what I came up with in order of...

    Very nice Doubleplugga! Did you go directly through the Sierra site or?

    Spiegelau has created a special IPA glass

    I was expecting about $15/glass. That's pretty good value. A test postage works out to $13.52 for me, which would bring it up to $43.52. I got quoted $36.94 for 1 glass shipped to me. So the value is pretty good, assuming they are going to be sold around that mark. Looking forward to it!

    Spiegelau has created a special IPA glass

    That's good to hear! Will be interesting to see how the prices compare to the american sites. If anyone does decide that they can't wait another 4 months, be sure to post photos and details about it ;) (I'll definitely do it if I can't control myself). Thanks for looking into it Liam_snorkel!

    Spiegelau has created a special IPA glass

    DFH Sounds good. Will be looking forward to seeing how you go. As for me, the cheapest so far for one glass posted is going to be $36.94. That's to a regional SA area as well. Quite a big difference from the previously mentioned prices but still high. Not sure how much postage for multiple...

    Spiegelau has created a special IPA glass

    Postage from DFH is about $45 but for something like this you would probably be better off getting a group buy and going through a post forwarding website. I would definitely go post forwarding for just one glad though. I might see what kind of prices I'd looking at.

    Torrified wheat - Can it be done at home

    Do you have a basement? If so, get a mate to help you out, having him wait down there in the dark. Tell the wheat to go down and grab you some supplies for the next brew. When he goes down there, have your friend jump out.... Wait, that's terrified wheat. Yeah, you are probably better off just...
