Parts I used from Jaycar are as follows: 1 x HB6012 Jiffy box 2 x PS4094 Power points 1 X PP4009 Plug panel ( don't forget to buy a fuse for it) 1 x PS4122 Mains power lead 1 x block of connectors (cant remember the part number) I found this shopping list on an older post. Just made...

Thank iamozziyob. Much more useful.

Nick JD your ass is getting lonely why don't you go stick your head back up it...... I pitched the yeast at a few deg. over what I would consider a good temperature to pitch at and would like to know what effect that will have on the final product.

I did a similar thing only with Lager yeast. pitched at 28 deg but had it down to 14 deg within about 10-12 hours. Do you recon I will get away with it? For the record it was Brew Cellar "Premium lager Yeast" and Brew Cellar "European Yeast"

Great feedback guys. Thanks. Its true that I don't really want to bottle anymore. This has given me a few good ideas on what to do with the remaining couple of litres of brew and I think I will go ahead and try the method I proposed and see how it goes. I never thought about only making 20...

G'day all I brew 23 ltrs of beer at a time, but can only hold 19 ltr's in my kegs. So my question is : does anybody save the left-over 2-3 litres of brew to a small container, keep chilled and add to the keg after an equivalent amount has been consumed...

Thanks mate I will give that a go myself. B)

What do you mean by "boil with wort" please yum beer?

Are many of you guys fermenting in cubes? I can only fit one round 30ltr barrel in my fermentation fridge but I can fit two 25ltr cubes nicely. Is there a problem with a lack of head space in the cubes? Also, if fermenting in cubes has anyone drilled a hole in the top of the cube and...

"Racking shouldn't affect the final gravity too much. While it will slow down how long it takes to reach terminal gravity, you'll still have several million cells per mL of beer, and as such it will still be able to ferment out- remember that similar concentrations of yeast ferment out priming...

Gday Peas and corn. I use the yeast that comes with the brew kits. I hope to play with some different types of yeast in the future but at the moment I am just trying to find my feet again. Most of the brew's I have dry pitched the yeast, but on a couple I hydrated the yeast prior to pitching...

great thanks J G Going to bite the bullet and crank up a fermentation fridge...... Home brewing seems to be a bit more complicated than I remember, or maybe my palate has matured somewhat :rolleyes: and what passed for beer in the old days just don't "cut the mustard " anymore Anyway...

I found this site: http://urowiki.filecore.net/index.php/Ther...ital_thermostat Its a step by step wiring diagram for the STC1000 complete with heating , cooling and fan. Also read thatkiwifella's build thread http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=51949 on this forum That...

Hey thanks Awesome Fury, you answered all my questions in one go. I thought there was a load of wiring and crap to do to set one up, but it looks pretty simple. I'm on E-bay right now ordering a ST1000 Thanks again J

Gday all Has anybody got a fermentation fridge set up in the Tweed Heads / Byron bay area I can have a look at? Would be nice to see one up close. J
