Yeah he's getting it all from Kegland, but wanted to try second hand before buying the $99 ones. They're sold out of used kegs. Thanks!

Does anyone have any ball lock corny kegs they want to part with in Melb? My brother in law is getting into kegging, so wanted to check the used market for kegs before forking out on newies. Cheers.

I've been following the calibration guide on github, but it asks you to make a new variable in ubidots using a derived value method. Problem is, the educational version of ubidots no longer has this feature. I've done the calibration exercise to record all the different points. I've spent all...

Hi. Does anyone in NE Melb have any WLP002 or Wyeast 1968 yeast they want to offload? Even if it's harvested - I can spin it up. Planning to brew an ESB over easter and want to avoid driving to Springvale to get the right yeast. All homebrew stores on this side of town don't have any :( happy...

How did it turn out? Thinking about firing up a starter of this myself. Haven't used it since my first attempt which ended up being too high in ABV to be enjoyable. I'll be skipping the sugar next time and just stick to malts. Read some stuff online about American guys using it for APAs etc with...

Wobbly, what did you use for depth markings on your sight glass?

Just the chiller left now.

Copper chiller - $20 Font tower - $10 Drip tray (plastic & stainless) - $10 Decal holders - $5 for both Located in NE burbs of Melbourne.

Agreed. Damn you..

Good point about the ply, I'll look into that. I've found that bar a bit restricting, especially with the sight glass. I don't want to lower the keggle any further as I need to height for gravity filling cubes. The keggle is 360mm total diameter.
