Hi Guys, not splitting, cheers.

Hi All, Not brewing much these days and getting good results from the old esky so I am selling the Braumeister. Grey control box, in excellent condition with controllable pump and original pump unused as a spare. Factory thermo sleeve. $1100 Pick up only, location is in Eltham, Victoria. Thanks

What would be the regulator options for the coregas?

I used to obsess about having clear wort into the fermenter. I don't bother now and have noticed no difference in my beers. If I plan to reuse yeast then I will try to keep the trub out. In terms of reward vs effort I can't see the point of obsessing about trub too much.

The fasting or 5.2 diet is working for me. Eat what you normally eat for 5 days (without going overboard) and on fasting days restrict yoursef to 600 calories. No beer on those days of course. Fasting appears to have some health benefits which is why I do it, the weight loss is a bonus. Makes...

Note to self, get a calendar. Looks like I dropped my bottle off a week early.

Any news on when results will be posted? No rush, just keen to know. Cheers Dave

    What an excellent blog

Digging up an old thread. Any more opinions on this? When I first started brewing I used the US05. Moved to Wyeast 1056 and seemed to get better results (cleaner) but in saying that my brewing and attention to fermentation also improved. Jamil reckons that the dried attributes a "peachy"...

More Beer- Have used them a few times. I purchased a valve for the Bernzomatic O2 cylinder where the valve had been bent and unusable. They Initially refunded the money without my consent and I was down the considerable postage cost. After some emailing they agreed to provide me with a...
