Hmm, maybe $500 after seeing some of the other classifieds..

$700 (I think it's a fair price?) • 3 corny kegs • CO2 regulator • CO2 refillable bottle • 2 fermenters • Fridge / Freezer – chalk board paint on the front so you can update the names for the beer - fits 2 fermenters or 3 kegs + CO2 • Temperature controller (can use...

So the topic pretty much sums it up, got a couple of kits back in August.. and they have been their since. Located in Melbourne so there has been some serious heat over that time and although they haven't been directly in the sun it's prett close to it. Not the end of the world if they get the...

I would recommend for your first brew to keep it as simple as that so when you do begin adding variations you can really pick up the flavours. Just be sure to brew at the correct temperature (~18 degrees for an ale) and it should come out quite nice.

I reckon that's it then, just lacking some common sense, cheers!

Just for reference I am looking to get the front piece on the far left off so I can clean the spring and also the piece closest to the back that has come out in this picture.

Looks like I have a different tap than that picture (his possibly isn't spring loaded?), however he has got that last piece out which is the one I need to give a clean as even with cleaning the rest, it still isn't pouring properly. Also when I do rotate that front piece attached to the spring...

Sorry but I have to give this a bump, still having real trouble and can't pour any beer until it's fixed!

Old topic, but I'm tyring to dismantle the tap to give it a clean (the flow has been turbulent so can't pour a beer) how the heck do i get the spring off? having real trouble, thanks!

Would have been more effective if I hadn't already been given the answer, better like next time gaypes. Thanks for the answers though guys, reason I'm not bulk priming is because I keg so I just force carbonate, decent beer in 10 days if I need it!

Thanks just need to know how to measure that, I think scales that work on those levels need a license :lol:

Large bottles, I bought a bunch of those reusable plastic ones just for convenience. Stay carbonated for a quite a while even when I just poor the beer from the tap which is handy.

Hey guys this has probably been answered previously but I couldn't find it with a quick search, I normally keg but I'm planning on filling a couple of bottles that I have lying around. I have dextrose and I'm just looking for an approximate way of adding it directly to the bottle (in terms of...

Well it's in the fermenting fridge and it is flying! I've kept it at 18-20 degrees and it tarted at about 1.055 and it's already down to 1.016, but i had a taste and it seems pretty flavourless, recipe in the end was 9L apple juice, 4L pear juice, 500gm ldme, 1.5kg honey, couple of cinnimon...

force carbing indeed, i suppose i'm not looking for the most amazing cider, just the best i can manage that i can carb by next friday. is it worth putting other things aside from pear juice, water and ldme, or won't they have time to contribute any flavour?
