Sample your Airlock going "bloop,bloop". Set your iPlod to repeat. Winner!

Stuff Brewin`! It`s too nice a day, Matt. Down tools and head over to the Shawsy for some pool, vibes and schooeys! :chug: :beerbang: :chug:

Cheers raven19! I`m thinking of using Masterfoods spice jars to store some samples in ( the 30g ones ). Do I need more head room and would 50% cooled, boiled water plus 50% yeast do the job?

Ok guys, quick update and more questions... Last night I threw together a Pale Ale to 23 litres- Can of Aus Pale Ale - Coopers 1 kg brew enhancer 2 500 g Dry Light Malt Extract 200 g Crystal Malt - steeped @ 68 c for 45 mins 10 g of Cascade + 10 g of Amerillo @ 45 min mark 17 g of...

I grabbed 2 x $40 kegs off of Ross on Monday. 2 loose rubbers that were fixed in 10mins with some contact and away we go! Chappo - When you go in, don`t let Ross show you the Stainless Celli`s...It took me 10 mins to talk myself into buying 2 x Chrome units instead of 1 x SS...man, they are...

Hmmmmm.....now you`ve got my brain crunching numbers.....Great food for thought, thanks!

Thanks for the fast replies fellas! Breezy too - yeah, that makes sense. My last stout was done to 20 litres, so doubling that will be easy on the math. gundaroo - In this heat, my Brew Assistant has taken to wearing her bikini - easy on the eye, but won`t help much throwing 60 kg around...

Howdy Guys, I have been kegging now for about 8 months and have been struggling to keep stocks up. I currently have 1 x 30 litre fermenter, 2 x 20 litre Cubes, 2 x 19 litre Cornies (with 4 more to come), a dispensing fridge (will hold 4 Cornies - 2 taps) and a full size ferment fridge with...

I`m a fan of Tooheys Old and was very disappointed with that recipe when I tried it about 8 months ago. I reckon I`d only go 19 litres next time.

Just a heads up Guys. I was in my local Big W (Ballina, NSW) today and they had stainless steel 20 litre boilers for $19.99. Comes with a Glass lid. Cheapest I`ve seen up this way.

G`day eteo, I was in your same position last Saturday and chose to lager my Euro Lager in secondary for a week or so. Then naturally carb for a month in a keg, then crack it in Sept for my birthday. I`ll be watching this thread as close as you! :) Cheers!

Heya Lobby When I said I "throw it all in to dissolve" I should have added that I boil everything bar the can whilst the grains are steeping. I don`t worry too much about hops schedules atm. I steep the hop tea-bag for about 10 mins and throw the bag and fluid into the fermenter. Cheers.

NP. Just remember tho.... Once you`ve had BLACK, You won`t go BACK! :beer:
