Thanks everyone for your replies....sorry it's taken me a while to get back...I was away for nearly a week. There's a couple of great suggestions there that I will follow up on and I'll keep you posted on what I decide on. Cheers Molly

Hi malt junkie... I've got 5 taps now, but to be honest - I'd be happy with just 2. I love big IPA's and they need to be drunk fresh....that's my main diet! Another tap with something different would suffice....but if I could do 3 taps, even better

Dannymars, I've sort of got that setup now with my kegerator, and I could build it in, but it's going to look amateur......I really want this to look pro!

Thanks, I'll have a look for that one and see what they've got

Thanks everyone for the replies.......I know that sort of setup isn't going to be cheap, but to be honest - it doesn't really matter. It's not that I'm rich, but we don't really go out, we entertain a lot, we've got a nice new house and want it to look just right. I just can't seem to fine...

Hi guys I already have a kegerator that I made using a chest freezer - works great, BUT.......moved into a new house and we're about to do a fancy outdoor kitchen and SWMBO has put the foot down! I can have my beer on tap - but it must look slick! Has to be underbench mounted with font coming...

I'm moving house, but not the bottles! I mainly keg these days so I'm getting rid of some Grolsch bottles. Most of them are 473ml but there are a few of the 450ml variety. I have 120 bottles that I need to get rid of in two weeks. I think the going rate is about 50c a bottle so if you want some...

Thanks dicko I think I'll take out all the previous additions and do as you say. Cheers Molly

Hi JoshF Sorry I might've sounded a bit vague. In the brewers notes for Ross's Nelson summer ale recipe in this database he states the final hop addition (which is called 0 minute in the database) as actually being added 10 mins AFTER flameout and steeped for 20 minutes prior to chilling. So...

I've been a lover of this beer for a long time. Flew to Perth just to go to the brewery in the Swan Valley. Buy it by the carton regularly and have noticed a drop in favour recently. Mainly all in the new packaging. One thing I noticed on the new label is that it looks like they have crossed...

Planning on brewing this one in a few days time. Just a question regarding the 0 min addition (10mins after flameout) - what do you guys do with the earlier hop additions ... Do you take them out at flameout?.... Then wait 10 mins and add 0 min addition for 20 minutes on its own? Cheers Molly

Just drinking a hop hog from the bottle now. Just bought some with the new label, so know it must be pretty fresh. Aroma gives me a big slap in the face of mango. Even my 10 yr old daughter said, "mango" when I asked her what my beer smelt like. So I would have to say that there is definitely...

I've used Grolsch swingtops for years. I unfortunately had to buy most of them with beer in them! But I also bought some from a retiring homebrewer. I mainly keg now but I still do an occasional batch so I've got some to take to parties etc. Have replaced rubber seals a few times but they're...

Crusty, I just had a second look at the info details for the Barrett Burston base malt and you were absolutely right. Those DBFG and DBCG details were missing when I imported them. I don't usually use that base malt so that's where the mistake was. Many thanks to you, I wouldn't have found...

Thanks Crusty, no I haven't put those values in, only because I never have in the past and it's worked it out for me. It's something that's just started
