Does anyone know wether the SP10 SP10 NASA Burner and the regulator that comes with can be attached to Australian Standard LPG gas bottles?

Actually, scratch that. The NASA burners are now only $90 including shipping, 22% off atm.

How would one work out the shipping costs, or if they even ship to Australia on Amazon? I know its a US sight but I can't even find a link to ask the seller about shipping details.

Thanks people. All my AG brews have been n/c so far, and they've all been done in the method i described earlier but only for 24hours or for how ever long it takes to get down to 18 degrees in a fridge, then I pitch. I take it that the advantage of n/c in the cube over the plastic fermenter...

No, what I mean is, I'm brewing tomorrow, but I haven't started my starter yet. Will the wort be fine sitting in a fermenter (with lid on and glad wrap over the grommet hole) for the 2-4 days it takes for my starter to be ready to pitch. So effectively brewing tuesday, pitching thursday/friday.

Would having a lid on the fermenter and some glad wrap over the grommet hole be air-tight enough?

I'm going away in almost a month for 2 months. I've got cracked grain for a Kolsch ready to go, so I'm going to brew tomorrow or else it isn't going to get done. I've got some 1007 Lager Ale yeast I intend on making a starter for. I presume this will take about 2-4 days before it is ready to...

Righto, so could you crop some yeast into sanitised jar with pre- boiled water in it, then put it in the fridge, wait 3 weeks for your primary to be free then create a starter and pitch into another brew a week after that. How long will the cropped yeast last in a sanitised jar? Cheers.

Is cropping yeast a way of getting your yeast to go further? So say you were brewing a Pale Ale with US-05, you siphon off some of the Krausen and now you've got another batch of US-05?

This is the water report for Melville, Perth as of August 2012. Its only in 'ranges' so its not that specific, but it gives you an Idea.

I've just received these results from the Perth Water Corporation. This is the water Profile for Melville. The results (in ppm) on the left are minimums, the right maximums. Alkalinity as CaCO3: 50-75 Calcium:9.5-25 Chloride: 85-250 Hardness as CaCO3: 50-80 Magnesium: 2.8-6.8 Sodium: 53-165...

No doubt this topic has been done to death, but I've searched and searched and the process seems to be assumed knowledge. I'm going to make an AG coopers pale ale clone soon, so I'd like to re-culture the yeast from coopers pale ale bottles using DME. I know coopers tell people that they can do...
