    Tight Arse Stir Plate

    Managed to find my magnets at Jaycar, Brookvale. They were described as 'Rattlesnake Sound Eggs' and found amongst the toys. Still had a few packets in stock at $4.99. They work brilliantly in a stir plate as one magnet becomes the stir bar while the other is glued to the motor. Just thought...

    Tight Arse Stir Plate

    Hi All, Catastrophe! Made my stir plate a couple of years with the same rare earth magnets used by Jye and Ross. Works brilliantly. Problem is the stir bar magnet has gone walkabout and I'm stuffed without it. I originally bought the magnets from Jaycar but they no longer stock this type...

    Cordless Drills For Marga Mills

    Like a number of AHB'ers I use a cordless drill to power my Marga mill. I had been using a Ryobi 12v but the batteries died, and it's impractical to buy replacement rechargable batteries. Did a test run connecting the battery terminals inside the drill to a 12v battery pack used for emergency...

    Best Yeast To Use For A Cider

    I've noticed some use Berri preservative-free juice and someone used Aldi juice which contains preservative. Does the presence of preservative make any difference to the finished cider? Merrick

    Help! - Is All Lost?

    Gave my 8L party keg its trial run. Filled it with a primed bitter ale. Two weeks later it's as flat as a tack with zero pressure in the keg. Seems I hadn't screwed the top on securely enough. Although the ale tastes OK. is there any way I can save it? Maybe toss in a bit of dextrose and yeast...

    Party Kegs

    Spillsmostofit, thanks for your input. My question regarding pressures for ales and lagers was prompted by some comments in this thread similar to Geoffi's below. Given that I can now squeeze about 37psi in my 'keg', does it mean for lagers (for example) I can artificially increase the...

    Party Kegs

    Almost finished my party keg based on 8L Bunnings Aqua sprayer. My eventual plan is to naturally carbonate plus Sodastream dispenser. I've noticed a few posts in this thread commenting on the 25psi limit for that sprayer. By way of an experiment I inserted a 1mm (approx) washer in the safety...
