    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    a close look at the photos shows its the AT8001, they are simply lieing about what they are selling. started the email to-fro anyway. 'oh so sorry we send wrong one, please send photo..'

    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    decided to use the damn thing anyway, just cause it can't heat don't mean it ain't useful. just want it to control a fridge in reality. remind me to take careful note of point 3 in 'matters needing attention' of the instructions. (word for word) 'warm controls the main engine not to be able to...

    Stone's Green Ginger Wine Style Emulsion

    racked today and back into demi, SG 1.040 tastes like white wine with berrys and a small amount of heat, not much sweetness left.

    Kegging Setups

    stoked with the 9.5 litre kitchen system, I cut the pickup tube and also ground the end at an angle to pick up from the bottom corner of the keg, then made a little wooden stand to tilt the keg back about 10 degrees. gas line through fridge side wall. I emptied the first keg yesterday and there...

    Useless flow from cheapo flow-restrictor tap

    bought one of these a few days ago at ibrew. working ok but is there any info available for them anywhere ? like is the screw on the front an adjuster or for cleaning ? maintenance, cleaning, spare parts ? I am used to buying things and not even glancing at instructions but this could do with...

    Coopers Mexican Cerveza

    sg is a tiny bit under 1.012 today, it was dead on 1.012 yesterday. it tastes much like beer flavoured water to me (i like dark ales) but forced the missus to take a teaspoonful as I thought it needed some hops added. she loves it as is. so into a keg it goes. (with added gelatin) I have warned...

    Coopers Mexican Cerveza

    this is going into a keg, bought a flow control tap from ibrew testerday and a 9.5 cornie a fitted it into the fridge, so I thought the little boost of 1kg of dextrose as opposed to the suggested 1kg of BE1 or BE2 would make up for no secondary fermenting. i pitched yeast at 26C then put it in...

    Coopers Mexican Cerveza

    put one of these down for the missus, she loves beer but doesnt like malt or hops .. women.. so this was a test in making the most vodkaish beer possible. so instead of using a brew enhancer I only threw in a kg of dextrose, made it up to 21litres i think. OG 1.036 and now its looking pretty...

    Cheap Grain Mill

    just noticed the sticker on the box and the supplied instructions say 'corn grinder no 500', it would probably work just fine with corn. are yours the same or did they perhaps send the wrong type? the listing says corn grain wheat spice grinder.

    Cheap Grain Mill

    sitting next to it, i know how it works, thats setting the gap to zero basically, the auger can not go into the outer retainer any further, thats tight up. i only removed it for the photo.

    Cheap Grain Mill

    and if you do get one like mine ..the minimum mods to make one useable in any way shape or form. spacing the mounted mill away from the body and the larger nuts under the wingnuts allow those to be tightened fully and help clamp the auger shaft central. Also had to remove the spilt pin and...

    Cheap Grain Mill

    mine arrived already, little rough as mentioned and ebay sellers should learn the difference between cast iron and cast aluminium. lol. first problem, the auger does not go in far enough to allow the mill parts to come close enough to mill, wheat falls through it untouched on finest setting...
