    Building A Heating Lamp For My Ferm Chamber

    Yes. I thought people might be more interested in what I had done inside the box than the box itself. I am yet to replace a globe.

    Melbourne/vic Brew Day?

    Ask any German ex-pat and they will tell you that the latter is a near-literal translation of the former. You can confirm their understanding of the subject by getting them to confirm that Crown Lager and Weihenstephan are held in equal regard in the homeland. And, there will be no Braumeister...

    Melbourne/vic Brew Day?

    What else would it be? What else could it be? Anyone who has attended one of these demos could not help but walk away knowing that there is only one possible way to make beer.

    Melbourne/vic Brew Day?

    The demo on the 28th is being presented by Dan Walker and Geoff Hammond, who are both From Here. Mind you, I wouldn't trust either of them.

    Bigger Sodastream Bottles At Big W

    I have an adapter I purchased from CraftBrewer several years ago. I exchanged a 330g cylinder for a 400g cylinder at my local RetraVision yesterday. I use the small cylinders in the brewery for pushing stuff around and party work. I have a 6.8kg cylinder next to the keg fridge. It seems to me...

    Brew In A Bucket Why Not Indeed

    You must be doing it wrong. :P If this endeavour results in a method of brewing that people find useful and interesting, then I am all for it. However, I am yet to find a circumstance in my brewery where BIAB makes my bottom hurt. It is important to find a way of brewing that works for you...

    Grain Crush And Rubbish Efficiency?

    This is a philosophical question. If you're focused on getting gravity numbers right, using DME is perfectly acceptable. If you're focused on All Grain, it clearly isn't. If you're looking to get the numbers pedantically right, you probably should add it before any hops so the bitterness thing...

    Do I Realy Need A Wort Chiller

    I'm quoting Beerswiller for context, not to single him out as an unsanitary brewer or for some other unfriendly purpose. The war against beer-ruining nasties is basically a numbers game. In your fermenter you are trying to create an environment that is perfect for a whole range of things to...

    Ag = Easier Than Kits?

    Bad Fermentation probably produces more shit home brew than almost any other part of the process - with the only likely exception that I can currently think of being Bad Cleaning and Sanitation. Learning how to do it properly can only be a good thing. I am sure that I will get it right one...

    Monster Mill Smoked My Cordless Drill :( Help

    I think that it is important to remember when thinking about a motor/drill what sort of mill you have. (I believe that) BribieG's Marga has 4" long rollers, as does my Crankandstein 2S. Many other mills have 6" long rollers, instantly requiring 50% more power to drive, before you even begin...

    Sodium Percarbonate

    I used to buy, use and recommend the cheapest unscented nappy soaker that could be found. Then I bought a tub of PBW and fell in love - except for the price. Then (on another day) I was persuaded to buy a kilo bag of sodium percarbonate from a HBS (G&G) and have never looked back. Others have...

    What Do People Think Of Steam Exchange Beers?

    Denny Conn's Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter. I am not saying they stole his recipe.

    Anyone Have Solar Panels On Their Roof?

    There's a couple of home brewers on this forum, but mainly people experienced in solar and other alt.energy systems: http://forums.energymatters.com.au/ The feed-in tariffs differ from state to state. Almost every system will differ due to the technology of the controller, the type of panels...
