Hi All, Not sure if anyone is interested, but if you have done a electric brewery control panel before you will appreciate the value of a good plastic box. De Youngs Salvage in O'Sullies had 2 of these (I bought one, the other is still there). $20 is what I paid for mine. Some of the components...

Anyone else pick up one of these over the weekend?

Not sure if I was just unlucky but one of the very few times I have had an infection (and the only time I have had an infection in the cube) was when I immersed it in the pool. I think the problem was immersing it completely such that the cap was also underwater, such that the pool water could...

Stainless steel 44 gallon drum. Which I would have previously thought didnt exist?? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/flinders-park/miscellaneous-goods/44gallon-drum/1148755456 Anyway, clean as a whistle by the looks. I am sure someone could use this for something... EDIT: Adelaide, no price...

Just grabbed another 2 sixers myself as I will be away from my kegs over Easter! $13 a six-pack, couldn't buy the materials for that! Oh, wait... yes, yes you could.

At Dans (in SA at least), name says it all. You need to be a member (free), and the sign says there is a limit of 3 per member per day (although my guy told me it was a misprint and I could get as many as I liked). Regular price is $22.49. I have never tried it before, but hopefully its good...

No worries. Off to the dump tomorrow if no takers. Cheers, Jeremy.

Apologies for the delay.

Hi All, I have a small upright freezer which I have been using for a fermentation chamber for the last couple of years. The compressor works and it makes the side of the freezer cold, but apparently not cold enough for a 40 degree day (as my Hoegaarden that fermented out in <24 hours will...

I just got myself an upright freezer as a fermentation chamber in preference to a chesty due to the lifting involved. Bear in mind that you may need to lift it out for SG readings as well as racking / end of ferment, and that you will be trying not to disturb the trub at the end. I would say...

Yeah, I must admit I tried one at the brewery and I didn't like it as much as the original. I had quite a few beers in Belgium that were supposedly the "hoppy" version of that brewerys mainstay, and they were never particularly hoppy. Still, will be interesting to see what they are like! Would...

Hi All, I was lucky enough to get sent to Belgium for 3.5 weeks in December for work, and managed to score myself these bad boys... Currently sitting in my fridge as I am worried they might spoil in the hot weather! Wondering whether I should drink them now or let them age...? I also figure...
