Hi All I decided a couple of months ago to stop brewing and turn my attention to other interests. I shall be shortly selling all my stuff and posting pics over the course of the next couple of weeks. 80L conical fermenter - in truly great condition ( in storage for the past 2 years) has a...

Hi Guys, The fermentor was imported from China (via punkin on this forum (the thread is on page 5 of the retailers shop section). I decided to lash out and spend the money as i did not (and still have not seen) anything for the same price and features. As the thread stated buying the unit was...

Sorry guys, I re-reviewed my post from yesterday and noticed the picture did not upload. Now attached is a copy of the current set-up (v2.0) using a Rio20 temprite, routinely used in commerical pubs to cool beer and chill bar fonts. This system took just over an hour to chill 50L of 40oC wort...

A quick post. V1.0 was a fail with being capable of cooling below 18 oC. This is v2.0, powered by a commercial temprite. So far it's working a treat.

A further update on the cooling system build. Assembled the conical on the weekend to ensure all the tri-clover accessories were present and in good working order. I have included a photo of how I plan to transfer the beer from the fermentor to the keg; via an independant (and portable) brown...

All, Prior to the end of last year I made the plunge and purchased a SS 60L (80 L inc head space) conical fementer. The final piece to complete my brewing setup after building a 3V system system several years ago. Plastic cubes have become increasingly annoying. It has taken quite a number...

Hi Nev, FYI - can not now make the 17th August however, shall be still making the 'Date Rape', so if the date changes i would be definately happy to attend. Markws

Aug 17, sounds good. As discussed - i am happy to bring a 1/2 keg of 'Date Rape' aka English Strong (dry hopped with dates).

I could be a possible starter as I am about to brew an English strong ale (once you get some more grain in nev!). A later starting date would suit be to ensure the beer is suitably matured. It also might be a good incentive to try and finish off the prep to start using my new 80l ss conical...

Similar to Nick R, I have brewed in the last month a clone of the 21st Amendments 'Allies win the war' (receipe from Brew your own) which included 1/2 kg of chopped dates in the secondary for 5 days (50L batch size). Definately can taste the presence of the dates in the beer and it is well...

Bunnings warehouse stock quite a selection of braided gas hoses and are well priced / are relatively cheap. I included a link to my 3v build that may be of interest. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...45244&st=60 MarkWS

Nice Tags - what is the material? Cheers MWS

Nice work. If you have not read the American home brew forum, they have an extensive thread on Brutus. A good recommendation that I took away was to include gas safety / pilot light system. Easy to install, providing piece of mind- just a consideration. My 2c

Dear All, A quick email on a couple things i have working on recently. 1. Keg King counter pressure bottle filler. Designed to be removable (not my orginal idea). 2. I have started collecting critical pieces towards making a dedicated reverse osmosis water purifier. Purchased on Friday a...
