Hey I'v been thinking of stepping up my brews into double batch territory. Currently iv been using a 40L Urn to do my boils, and a 55L esky for mashing. Im thinking of subbing out my 30L HLT for my 40L Urn and obtaining a new kettle and a burner to go for a more ferocious boil. Just want to...

Hey All Im in the market for a chest freezer to house my 4 kegs. Late last year i bought a chest freezer off eBay for nearly nothing and built my kegorator, but due to circumstance - being FAR too big for one - am no longer able to use it. My question is, what would be an affordable, easy...

Thanks for the speedy response

Hey all Just about to set-up my taps on my chest freezer and just needed a bit of info from a more experienced crowd. I got some shanks and perlick taps and need to drill the holes in the wood to fit the shanks. Question is: What drill bit should i use? I have a drill, but the only bits i have...

Yea, i had a 50% barley 30% rye 20% wheat that dropped dead bright after a week in the keg with some gelatine. I never tried it befor it was clear, so not sure what flavour effect was. I usually find a kristal has a crisper, dryer finish than a hefe. I think i prefer a nice cloudy hefeweizen

Hi Im looking at getting Hoepfner malts in or near melbourne. Iv had no luck witha google search or forum search, any suggestions?

Quick question When i made some Candi Sugar, I added it during the boil so it would liquify into the brew. When you say you added it after ferment, did you add it to the fermenter as whole chunks of hard candi, or did you boil it down somehow? I figuered that adding 1 litre of boiling...

Hey I have an Imperial Stout that i wish to bottle, but not quite sure about the best way to do it. Its 9.5%, FG of 1026 and its been sitting in secondary for about 3 months now. I was going to just do my regular thing by adding some dex and letting it carb up, but i was thinking of adding some...

Hey dude, thanks. I know im not going to get it to drop to far, but 1030 is ridiculous. I started ferment at 20 degress, and it stayed at 20. Its in a temp controlled fridge. Iv never used this yeast befor but the starter did look very flocculent. I may try shaking it up and dumping into a new...

If you don't have a drill, or any tools for that matter, how do you put holes in this 'box' and cut a rectangle? Scissors surely wont do the job i wouldnt think. Where did you get the box from?

Its brewed in Vic by the same brewery that does Haagen. It's 'inspired' by the Cuban Revolution. Nothing to do with Cuba apart from the name - Cuba '59
