    Naked Dsl And Voip Phone Anyone?

    I've got IINet Naked DSL2 with 50GB for computer use and VIOP phone. Never used all 50GB and I download the odd movie/music from time to time and play online games for a number of hours each week. I ended up getting one of the first Bob units when they came out about 2/3 years ago, and whilst...

    Electronics Issue Burnt Looking Resistor Whats It Mean

    There was a bunch of really dodgy capacitors that got churned out by some cheap Chinese company many years ago and they managed to continue selling them and are still used in heaps of electronics today. My old Tele was an unfortunate recipient of one of these and the TV was only a few years old...

    Cats And Chickens

    Like the good Dr said, clip their wings if you're really worried. Only do one wing though, as it unbalances them and doesnt let them go where they want. If you clip both, they will realise that they are just limited to short hops, and will bunny hop their way up to where they want to be. Natural...

    Cats And Chickens

    You should be fine as long as you've got enough chooks that they can team up and fend for themselves, especially if your not getting a roster to look after the girls. Which if you're in suburbia I doubt you will. They are flock birds so you'll want at least 2 minimum so the poor buggas arent...

    I like the drill and paddle idea. I'll be using that next time myself... :beer:

    Saving An Over Diluted Beer?

    Hi folks, Managed in inadvertenly over fill and diluted my fermentor to 25L instead of the 21L I was aiming for. OG was about 12 points down from expected (1043 instead of 1055) and now fermentation has ceased this beer is thin, watery and generally bland. Can I save it? I'm thinking of...

    How Much Lager Yeast To Pitch?

    I believe its due to your lower ferment temps and making sure there's enough yeast to do the job - thus the double dose. I dont really know what I'm talking about though so others will explain better than I... Nonetheless, what ferment temp are you aiming for?

    Beer And Brewer Mag

    Hi folks, Just wonding if this fine publication is still in circulation as the few newstands I've checked out dont seem to stock it. And two of them certainly did in the past, with one now saying that the mag is discontinued and they cant get it. I'm just checking out the website and notice...

    Where To Get Cheap Or Free Polystyrene?

    Clarks Rubber sell foil lined sticky foam for insulation. Used it on my hot/cold box and its a winner. Sheets of foam insulation, with foil on one side, peel back layer on other side, so can be stuck to the inside of the box with foil facing inwards. Cant remember the $, but 20 bucks worth...

    Second Stove Biab - B*lls Up (alittle Bit)

    I did this the first time also... :P However, I've been pushing the 6kg mark (5.8 to be exact) when it comes to grain bills and not really having any major dramas with it. Found that a 2L kettle off the boil, sparged 3 times works well. Not very accurate temp wise, but works for me. Gets me...

    Biab Bag Life

    mmmmm...ok. I suspect the bag material is not quite up to scratch in that case. I've been using a 5.7kg grain bill for my last 2 brews and the bag is plently big enough for it all. Seems I pressed a little too hard whilst trying to get all the goodness out and split the seam so will need to...

    Biab Bag Life

    Hi all, Just wondering what sort of life span I should expect from my BIAB bag? I've got 3 BIAB brews under my belt and feeling quite confident that I'll be sticking with this method for some time to come. But my bag has developed a rather large hole along the seam after only these 3 brews...

    Bottles Overflowing When Priming

    I've tried both bulk priming and bottle priming and the time and effort of bulk seems to out weight the ease of a teaspoon of sugar into each bottle. 1 funnel, 1 teaspoon and away you go. Get the whole lot done in no time. I find it easier than having another vessel to clean (both before and...

    RecipeDB - Little Fella's Pale Ale

    Just a quick question with this one. They didnt have any US-05 at the LHBS, but I've got S-04 and Nottingham in the fridge. Which yeast would you use if in my position? Many thanks!
