Gah, I always forget that! On the Northern Beaches in Sydney.

My home brew kit that has been unused for a few years is now ready for a new home. Included; Mash tun cooler with stainless false floor, ball valve and thermometer 35L (roughly) commercial stainles boil pot (was $330 new) Wort chiller Water heater (2400W i think) several fermenters Palmers Home...

I bought this a while ago and have used it twice. I built the worlds worst hopper for it and I don't buy grain in bulk to warrant the use, I just buy grain cracked when I need it. So, its up for sale. Monster Mill MM2 with optional stainless rollers. If you bought this today and shipped it...

Wow, this was a great beer. Mines only been in the bottle for 2 weeks and I can't stop drinking it - I can't see it ageing very long. :( Definitely doing this again.

What size is the falsie?

The first mental image I had was somebody in a lot of pain. :( Ouchies.

Great, thank you!

Thanks guys, My concern with that burner is the 3 points on the top. One of my pots is an awfully cheap stainless thing with a super thin bottom and it would get pretty hammered by those points. I'd probably need to put something between them. cdbrown, thats a great idea about the stick or...

Hi Guys, Did my 2nd AG last night. Took some advice from my last thread (First AG, Not Quite To Plan) - cooled my samples down before checking gravity was the biggie, but my 2 mistakes were; 1. Perhaps not sparging long enough. Last time I left the sparge in the tun for ~15mins, last night I...
