Hi all, I have just transferred my beer from primary to secondary (25L - 20L Demijohn) using my stainless racking cane. Worked great until there was about 1/3 left in the primary then just decided that was all it would do. has anyone got any tips to keep it flowing until the bottom of the cane...

Thanks a heap for your help guys.. i will endeavour to do this conversion before i run my next batch.. stay tuned for more issues.. ;)

Hi all, I have completed my first brew in my new setup a while ago.. I had one of those trial runs that just became a debacle.. The biggest issue was draining the mash: The gear I'm using is the tri-keg setup consisting of a water heating keg, an insulated keg for a mash tun and a 3rd for the...

Solid advice from both of you.. I thankyou for your input.. Will be attempting the summer ale in the recipe DB so will let you know how she goes..

Hello all, I have just finished construction of my new AG rig, consisting of converted kegs with a false bottom for the mash tun, taps on all kegs and a brazed plate heat exchange.. To be honest I am a little daunted. I have been doing partials for a while but this is my first AG and am going...

So I have just bought a plate heat exchange from G&G and it didn't come with instructions. I am aware that its fairly self explanatory with the in and out but is there anything i need to know any pointers..

I'm wanting to put some taps in the side of my brew kettle stainless steel vessel. I've got a book the has compression fittings and nylon washers but it doesn't make a lot of sense. any pics or diagrams or links as to how others have done it would be much appreciated. Also i have a false bottom...

excellent i love the shit outta youtube.. fantastic thanks for your help as always guys.. Cheers, Caleb.

So the Tooheys ones are the flat top ones correct? I kind of put all commercial kegs into the one basket, but on closer inspection they are not the CUB style where could one obtain information on how to modify these legally obtained kegs..? Cheers. P.S. AFAIK...?

Hello again all, I have a quick question not sure if its the correct forum or not. I have access to some CUB style kegs and I'm wondering if there is some modification that i can do to be able to reuse them as my own beer kegs. Is it possible to clean them out re-fill them and gas them with some...

dammit.. I've got a grain bag too, for some reason i thought it wouldn't work. Don't ask me why now.. the old flower style is the one ive got and it was above the tap i think I may have closed it up when I stirred the mash. hop bag is a good idea too. first try is always a bit shonky i guess...

Hi all had a few issues with my first mini mash wonderin if i could get a bit of advice.. I used a 15L water cooler with an expandable steamer in the base as a filter screen thought it was a marvellous idea until the steamer closed and clogged the outlet an hour later i had finished straining...

Hey all got a heads up that some of you interstate truckies going through alice may be willing to pick up a few grains of beer and drop them to me in Alice Springs in exchange for a few beers or some such arrangement. Its costing me an arm and a bloody leg to get the shit shipped here so if...
