Got specs/details etc? Can they heat and cool at the same time?

I use a 60L fermenter to make 46L batches. I don't lift the fermenter at all. I went to Bunnings and bought a heavy duty pot plant coaster. Fits the 60L fermenter no probs. Then I made a ramp and I push the fermenter up the ramp and into the fridge. No lifting required. I'm also going to tie...

There are plenty of places to buy the correct tool (Sanke knife) for removing the snap ring and its cheap. http://morebeer.com/view_product/7544/1034...25fb72475b47a97 http://morewinemaking.com/view_product/754...PSESSID=e3690d9 http://www.stpats.com/oakbarrels.htm

I went the expensive route and used a 2mm sheet of polycarbonate(Lexan) for the door skin. It cost about $70 but it will never warp, absorb water or leech anything into the fridge like plywood 'might'. Plus its easy to clean (if it ever gets dirty :rolleyes: ) Cheers

I'll never pay $450 for a bottle of beer. I don't care how good it is. I agree with the wank value comment. People with more money than sense will probably buy it to show off, the Dom of the beer world.

Now all you need is a neon Santa who opens his coat to show his man boobs. :lol:

I don't cook snags on the grill. I've found everytime I cook them on the grill the fat drips down and I end up with a massive fireball. I cook them on the hotplate and find they taste better as well. I don't tend to use a lot of heat either, even though I like my snags well cooked, I'd rather...

See this is what I have experienced personally with every keg show I've done. Wake up the next morning and finish off the beers the other pussies should have drunk. Open the lid and there is water down the bottom with ice floating on top, and brr its cold and seems to work better than what the...

I wouldn't even bother opening it. Just pull the torpedo valve/1way valve out of the beer out of your coupler. Fill it up with a mix of water and napisan/sodium percarbonate. Leave it overnight, then drain it out, turn it upside down, then flush it out with water for a while till you are...

Well done mate, looks great. Love the stainless makes it look real pro and very clean. Cheers

I've been looking at building my own magic/miracle/jockey box as well re: below thread http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...19355&st=15 I was looking to go the stainless coil route. However I've pretty much decided to just go for a cold plate. As for using copper coils: Me...

1 word Aluminium. I hate cans. Same deal with coke too. Tastes much better in glass then either cans or even plastic PET's Your kegs are stainless, so its totally different. To age them in the keg I think the best results come from bulk priming. Though I'm only very new at kegging myself and...

I remember watching him wrestle when I was a kid and was just in awe at the man mountain. I never knew about his drinking exploits and what can you say about that. I'm speechless :o

No probs here either. Mrs HKS has assisted in putting down every batch we have ever brewed. She loves beer and drinks 1 for 1 with me. In fact I have to make sure I don't get distracted otherwise I fall a few beers behind and well that's less beers for me. However when there is only 1 beer...

:o I'm speechless. If that isn't the most awesome bar setup I have ever seen, well crap, to top that would be insane. You are one lucky man mate. I bow to you! You da man! Cheers
