Has anyone had any luck refilling sodastream bottles from a 10kg (VT) BOC CO2 cylinder? i have one of the kegland sodastream refill adapters but this doesnt seem to work. I suspect the rpv may be the cause but cant see how to remove it...

Sorry mate. Already sold. How do I delete post?

Decided to get a grainfather, so my biab set up is up for grabs. Included is: 50l keg with top cut out, 3pc ball valve, temp gauge, some crude insulation around it. 2 or 3 ring burner with regulator hose, will have to check. A modified cleaners sink which acts as a stand. Various hoses, bags...

i have approx 38 750ml bottles (some with beer in them, not sure of quality) and a few 330ml bottles. with milk crates if required. also have 4 x 15l containers, purchased with fresh wort in them from lhbs, have used them as no chill cubes for a split 30l batch. all free to pick up in brisbane...

Thanks mate. I gave it a bit of a shake and put temp up to 18. i guess time will tell. will look at racking to secondary to try and get the yeast going again aswell. it seemed like a good idea at the time, i guess you learn alot from your mistakes and experience. i hadn't, but when i adjusted...

hi all, I have recently brewed a Schwarzbier with an OG of .052. pitched saflager s-23 yeast at 18 degrees, set fridge to 13 degrees. This fermented for approx 14 days with a new reading of .022. I have left this in the fermenter and gradually reduced temp to 6, over 5-6 days, and my gravity...

i have been using brewmate, but am still a little uncertain if i am using it correctly. I generally mash for 90min at 67ish degrees, then drain the bag and pop it in 10L at 78ish degrees for 10min, then drain and add to wort. My efficiency is measured using brewmate, i enter in my actual gravity...

Hi guys, i have finally set up a BIAB system. Basic set up includes a 50l keg, ball valve and dial thermometer, 3 ring burner set up in a s/s cleaners sink i got from work. I put the stand on castors ans set up a pulley for draining the bag, and sparge in a 19L big W pot. All up it prob cost...

hi mate, sorry for late reply. link for mt cozzie http://brewerschoice.com.au/mt-cozzie-pale-ale/ hope you like, didn't last long in the keg for me!

i just brewed a brewers choice koziusco clone with extract (mt cozzie ti think), which used POR and galaxy. very pleased with the result. Well worth a go if you're a fan of the beer.

i tried it both ways, with no luck. i thought it was the wiring but the older one worked when i wired it back in.

more for the hlt and calibrating the dial thermometer

hey guys, i have the stc1000, and was hoping to change the probe out for a stainless one i can put in liquid. i got one from jaycar but it doesn't seem to be compatible (error ee) is there a certain type you need? has anyone else come across this issue? thanks

thanks for the great advice guys. will post some photos when vessel is complete.

does the fittings you use affect the flavour? i have access to a lot of copper fittings which would negate the cost of stainless, would it make much of a difference to the quality of the brew? Can the copper or brass handle the boiling temperatures?
