No takers??? There are 152 crown seal 750s... I think there are even a couple off pick axes in there too.

I've got 750s and 500s looking for a new home. Send me a message if you're interested.

What sort of hops (fresh, flowers... pellets)?

I'm pretty sure they do... I think you can set how long the delay is on the fridgmate.

I replaced the start relay on my last fridge about a year ago, the part cost me $70 if my memory serves me correctly. It will probably be cheaper to replace the fridge. On a side note, does your temp controller have a delay for the compressor because if it doesn't this can cause alot of wear...

I had a great time.... Beers were great. Hats off to all involved. $3 beers and $2 sausage sambos.... forgot I live in Sydney.

I haven't had one of these for quite some time, but I recall thinking it had a similar hop profile to Bright Ale when it warmed up a little... Maybe Saaz B. When I first tried it at a beer fest, probably a couple of years ago, I recall the guy at the stand saying they used Saaz. The recipe may...

I think your OG would have been closer to 1070... I would also say it stopped fermenting because it hit its FG...

A photo might help... But, it sounds rooted. And no don't solder it.

Dry pitching into a high gravity wort isn't a good idea, you should re-hydrate first when you're getting that high.

Thats what I'd do... I don't think you would need to be to worried about boiling efficiency as I don't think you will need much more in the way of bittering. Here is a link to a coopers vintage clone discussion. I'll eat my own words on the Hop... They suggest Hersbrucker, Cascade and PoR...
