Jumping in the deep end i see - the only way to swim. Not a cheap bit of kit that.

By the way BeerNess, im not so sure my BlackRat and your Lazy Cat should ever do a colab! Not so sure they will play well together.

Got it. Thanks guys. I will try again tomorrow.

As in i need the silicon tubing connected to the outside of the ball valve for it to start sucking from the bottom of the dip tube?

Hi everyone, After almost tearing my hair out (whats left of it anyway) I have decided to post on here for some advice. I have recently made a keggle and for some reason i cant get my dip tube to work. I have a compression fitting from craftbrewer (although im not 100% sure which way the...

Hi everyone, So this weekend im looking to do my second BIAB in my Keggle and have tried to find something that will allow me to use all my citra. Some reading suggested a Zombie Dust clone would be a good road to travel - although i havent ever tasted it. Here is a recipe i have put together...

Sale fell through...still for sale.

I'm looking at conducting my second BIAB this weekend and after putting down Dr's Golden Ale without issues, i am looking to move onto replicating a house favorite. From the Holegate website, i can see that the hop profile consists of NZ Selson Sauvin, Amarillo and Citra whilst the base malt is...

Its getting there.Currently just running the 50L keggle BIAB at the moment. Once i get that dialed then i can worry about recirc, etc.

That price doesnt include an element or FB - it only includes a 2 piece ball valve - which makes it quite expensive considering a second hand keg will do just fine.

Yeah I already tried to go down this path but not for anywhere near that price.

Hi everyone, I have decided to finally move into AG brewing and after looking at various pots and sizes i have decided to start with a Keggle. Does anyone have a keggle or 50L keg they want to sell? I thought i would ask here first before "acquiring" one on my own. Werribee or Geelong area...

Yeah I agree, its looking like this is going to be the cheapest option. I plan to add an element and start with BIAB before adding a recirc system when funds are available. Would a keggle be fine for that?

Hi everyone, after much reading and trolling I am yet to decide what the "best" 50L pot is and where it can be purchased from. I know that the best value 70L pot is from Ross however this is too big for my needs ATM. Does anyone know where i can buy a cheap 50L pot than i can install an...
