Time Time Time and Space is the reason i am getting out, i have taken on too many hobbies in the last couple of years, all of them expensive and that coupled with moving house and now having no space to store all my toys is the reason i am getting out of the brewing game. Cant say it hasnt been...

Cheers for the advice, i hadnt ever considered reusing yeast but after having a brief look around i see that some people swear by it. I have another Lager kit ready to go so would i be alright to dump the new kit on the old yeast cake left by this mix?????? will it need stirring or should i...

Hi Guys, I am currently renting a 10 kilo CO2 bottle from AirLiquid. I am sick of the rental etc and am looking to buy one of the kegs on legs or something similar. Is there anywhere in Adelaide that will fill a private CO2 botle as i have been told by Airliquid and BOC that they will not...

I am brewing the Lager at 10 degrees in my brewing fridge. The thermostat keeps the temp range between 9 and 12 degrees so i am hoping for a good result. I have done 2 prior lagers using premium kits but i couldnt maintain the temps using the ice and a wet towel method, hence the upgrade to a...

cheers lads, i ended up throwing the yeast in the fridge and buying some saflager s23 instead. seems to be doing the trick but unsure if that was the right yeast to go with. The bloke at the brew shop recommended it.

Thanks for the quick reply. The kit has the standard instructions inside for all the coopers kits which stated 21 degrees. I wasnt sure about the lager. Cheers again.

Hi Guys, Just a quick question before i start this Coopers Lager Kit. Does anyone know if the cooper yeast is a true Lager YEast (9-12 degrees) or is it an Ale Yeast that will handle the warmer temps, 21 degrees etc? Cheers Willtups

hey dicko any chances of getting a few more pics of your duel controller unit? Does it run from the one power source or do you need 2. thinking about doing something similar but lack the electrical knowledge to do it myself. good think my sparky mate likes beer!

hmm what to do what to do. I like the fridge mate as it has a heating option to run a heat pad, but the mash master unit has the sensor to measure the wort temp. Does anyone know of a product out there that does both?

can anyone tell me if either of those units will run a heating device aka light globe to warm the wort when temps too low. thanks for pointing me in the directon of those 2 sites, another way to spend all my money. the "home brew will work out cheaper in the end" speech is wearing a little...

Hi Guys, Can someone please point me in the right direction to buy a digital thermostat / control box for my spare fridge. I am looking to brew lagers in Adelaide and during summer (40 degrees) that can prove impossible to do with a wet towel and ice cubes. Also I have heard others using...

So the smell should go and the beer will come good in the keg? How long will it last in the keg in general? does it have to be kept cold or can you store it at say room temperature? I tried to keep the fermenter cool when brewing but doubt it would have been kept at the ideal 12-15 degrees...
