Howdy! Got the following for sale, which I am open to offers for. It all needs to go by Thursday as we are moving house on Friday and it can't come. 3x fermenters numerous bottles - quite a few..guessing close to or over 100 (PET coopers type with lids) mixing spoons 1x can of expired beer mix...

Thanks guys. I bottled on Monday night. Still cloudy. Will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the advice. Nui

ok. Thats another genuine reason to get a freezer and convert it into a dedicated brew machine! :D

Hey Stuster. Thanks for your reply. I used a Saflager yeast pitched at 22deg. Fermentation temps sat at 16-17 deg for the 3 weeks its been in the fermentor. I think I will just bottle it and leave it settle. Too much risk of infecting it if I transfer it.

Hi. My Xtract pilsner has completed primary fermentation. I used a 3kg Tin from the Country Brewer, which contained everything required. SG has been on 1010 for the last week, but it is still VERY cloudy. Is this normal for a pilser? Its been in the fermentor for 3 weeks now. Above is a...

Good work P & C!! Im hanging out to try your honey brew! Both my fermentors are in use atm, so once they are done, i'll be giving it a go straight away! Good luck for the AG! Matt

It sure is Brauluver :D P.S. I brewed in an old mossy, slimey pine log. :P Will confirm yeast used tonight. Do bunnings sell the taps to suit their 20L cubes ?

I'm in Mosman, Sydney, but brew at my folks place in Cherrybrook.

Prepare in the kitchen, then carry out to the garage. Also bottle in the garage. Seem to get more constant temps there, its made of brick, so it stays fairly cool in summer and constant in winter. Would LOVE to get a dedicated room for brewing. Will come one day when I can eventually afford...

Actually, now thinking, maybe it was a lager yeast (Saflager)... :s Will confirm tomorrow. I did 2 brews that day, one was a American Pale Ale wetpak which I definately used the safale, and the one in question I will need to check my log.

Thanks for the super fast replies! I used a safale yeast, pitched at 20deg. ( I didn't make a starter yeast, I just sprinkled it straight on :unsure: ) Temp has been around the 18deg mark. Been in since last Saturday. I'll have to get another container to rack to, as my other fermentor is in...

Does anyone use bleech for cleaning their fermentors ? Pro's/Con's of bleech?
