    Cooper's "New Style" Fermenters

    Hey Livo, for what it's worth I have enjoyed this thread and I have been wracking my brain for a solution and the only thing I could come up with is impractical. I thought if there was a large enough Microwave oven they could be sterilized just like babies bottles. I know it's not helpful but...

    Maltodextrin

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone in Perth would be interested in sharing a 25kg bag of Maltodextrin? I see that a Kg is around the $9 mark whereas a 25kg bag works out to about $3.60 per kg. For me to get through 25kgs would take quite a while so I thought I would put it out there to see if...

    DIY Cold Crash Protector

    Ginger beer from scratch

    Hi EM, I've used Erythritol in my apple cider and I can't discern any artificial taste so fingers crossed this might be the solution.

    Forum needs to be active so let's talk political.

    I think China's economy is dependent on world trade, and I think they believe that too, so it's not in their interest to expand their horizons to Australia for example. They want Taiwan back for whatever reason , maybe "saving face". What concerns me is, if China moves in on Taiwan will others...

    Cleaning Pet Bottles

    Hey Livo, good question about whether or not there is a taste question between glass and PET. I can't answer that because I only drink from glass BUT I can tell you that I believe I can taste a difference between glass and cans. It may be a mind thing but in my mind there is a definite...
