Anyone know what type of coupler fits the Asahi kegs? I was in a local recyclers/scrappers, and they had a pair of Asahi mini kegs sitting there for sale. No ide what the price was on them, or what size they were - I think they might have been 20L, they were built like cornys, but were shorter...

I reckon you should be about right with that amount of caraAroma. I'm drinking a Dunkelweizen at the moment made from the following: 23L batch 3kg Coopers Wheat Malt LME 1kg Munich II .5kg CaraAroma Colour is excellent, with a nice dark coppery hue, but if anything, the CaraAroma maltiness has...

Got mine the other day, and it will be going on the kegerator that is currently being given a sand a flash coat of paint. And cheers to Warb- you do us all a great service which I will be sure to partake of some time soon. Barto

My next planned brew is a HI-G Duvel clone. I am a BIABer and only have the good ol Big W 20L stock pot, so thinks are going to be tight. I have managed big brews with small batches in this pot before, though my efficiency has occassionally been low due to the low liquor:grist ratio. This next...

I probably drink a little more than i should - I guess I drink most nights, though i try to have at least the recommended 2 alcohol free days per week. When I do drink, I'll have 1 or 2 tallies in a sitting, occasionally drinking a few more on a night out with the boys. As a tradie, I'm well and...

Its not bad - i.e, no off tastes or infections - its just not particularly good. I have drank 6 tallies of it, so it is passable, it is just too thin. .. The brew was always a bit of experimentation with a few bits and pieces, and was my first attempt at using both lactose and rolled oats in a...

I attempted to make a coffee porter a little while back that turned out to be quite disappointing. My efficiency was terrible due to an ordinary crush on my part (using a food processor) and the beer came out weak and thin tasting - nowhere near what I was trying for. Can I recycle this brew...

As the topic says, how can we do this as homebrewers? Has anyone done it with any success? I have accidentally made an Eisbock when lagering a bock I made a while ago - I let it thaw out to a regular bock - but I certainly could have removed a fair amount of ice if I wanted to. Would it work to...

So has anyone out there been to the Canberra U-Brew-it? have experiences of the other u-brew-it setups in other states? A friend of mine is tossing up the idea of heading out there to do up a batch (not a home brewer himself) and asked if i'd be interested in going along... Or, am I breaking...

Here's one of mine that I did up for a Wee Heavy that was my first AG BIAB attempt. Turned out a great brew, so the label was worth the effort. I normally just print my labels on a sheet of Avery stickers 30mmx50mm, eg.- but for this one, I did up a jpeg on CS4 and got them printed at Big W...

I decided to whack out a czech pilsner the other day, and picked up a vial of WL802 pilsner yeast. The vial was an 09 batch, but my LHBS reckoned it would be fine. SO I pitched it in a 1L starter and went about my mash and boil. When I came back to the jug of starter, there was absolutely no...

Just looking at the picture showing your wiring - everything looks correct - the only thing that may be a possibility is that where you have the active and neutral going into terminals 1 & 2 respectively, they are very close together, bending past each other. This may mean that a stray strand of...

This is in the fermenter at the moment. Was supposed to come out at a much higher OG,but my efficiency was poor due to an ordinary mill (i got lazy with the food processor) This recipe was primarily a leftovers brew, but was following an idea I have had for some time BartHaus Espresso Porter...

Here is a diagram of the correct wiring... http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...si&img=5599
