Hey all, long time no speak. Have been out of brewing for ages now and am keen to get started again. In the meantime- to wet the lips, just bought one of these fresh wort kits from All In Brewing. My problem is I've stuffed up as I wanted about a 4.8% ABV Beer upon completion. Has anybody...

Yeah, realise that mate. All good as I'll keep them in zero light in the garage. Many thanks for the replies fellas.

This is one here. The swing top seems to make a damn good seal just not sure how it will fare under pressure...

G'day All. It's been ages since I've been on here. Hope you're all well. Just curious if anyone has used the Ikea jars as bottles, and whether they're any good for the job? Many thanks in advance. Hound

26... And relatively young.

+1 I'm based on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Within a reasonable distance of me are two home brewing shops... North Sydney and Asquith... Needless to say, given the obvious duopoly, there's some serious bloody price gouging going on. I'm no pirahna pockets, but it's unbelievable. One word of...

Take that, you stupid f**kin' infection!

Armed with flamesuit, I dare to say... I've truly been trying over the years to justify why CG is any good?! Yes, yes, it's a matter of taste, blah, blah, blah. I myself am a megaswill born, megaswill raised bloke.. Who through the enlightenment of sites such as this one have learned it's ALL...

Sad sack of shit. Afraid to admit I'm brewless for about 4 months now. Drinking, yes. Carlton Draught. Proud? No.

Yeah mate, that's exactly what it was.. One single extension lead, cut in the middle, and wired into the unit. Male plugs into the wall, and the freezer/fridge plugs into the female. That was the first rendition.. Since then I've re-done it so the male cord runs into the housing, and then the...
