    St Pat's Convoluted Counter Flow Wort Chiller

    yes, i am sad to be selling it... despite never being used, it was the pride of the brewery!! My household is down to 1 income (mine) and the head gasket needs replacing on one of the vehicles.... time to shed the excess, which the wife considers to be all my toys (remote control cars etc, and...

    St Pat's Convoluted Counter Flow Wort Chiller

    yeah, had to freight through my company to get around St Pat's min order. My company put it on their UPS account and charged me accordingly. Was $160 from the company (was here in 3 days). That was mostly because St Pat's wanted min order of $300 for outside US... so i had it shipped to our...

    Ag Vs Extract Vs Kit

    in answer to Jase's original question, let me just say this... my wife NEVER drinks my homebrew (k+k). my last 3 brew have all been partial mashes and now she asks me for a beer all the time, which isn't that great for my stocks, but a compliment never-the-less. Also, can't recommend highly...

    Partial Mash

    duff, it's surprising just how good the old esky is. I am using a very old one, probably about 15 years old (so it's insulation has probably deteriorated somewhat), and it still holds good temperature for over an hour. I start with water at about 74C. The minute i add it to the esky, the...

    Stout - Priming Question

    Sorry to start another thread on this topic, but couldn't find any info in the search. My stout is about 6 weeks overdue for bottling because i have been trying to find priming ratios. O.G. was 1.070, and F.G. is 1.020. Can't seem to get it any lower and it has been in secondary for over a...

    DME V's LME Poll

    for some reason i have always used LME. i guess more for colour than anything... ie i use morgans Pale for ales, and Extra Pale for pilsner. But i don't think i can see (taste) any difference. In fact if anything, it's got a little bit of a sharp taste to it (and no, it's not hopped).

    First Partial Mash - Thumbs Up

    To everyone who has shared their knowledge and inspired me to get on the way to partial/all grain extract... i just want to say thanks. Last night i did my first partial with great success. I used 2.2 kg pale malt, 500g munich, 150g caramunich, 100g crystal, 50g chocolate... all in the esky for...
