No nothing like rubber. It's a bit hard to explain, but it is really dominant on your palate after tasting the initial good flavour. Did that make sense? :blink:

Sprayed all my brewing gear with a no rinse sanitiser and my fermenter got a soak with napisan prior, but was well rinsed with hot water and then a final rinse with a jug full of boiling water. Just thought of something else, it was the first time that I used my immersion chiller that I had...

Hi all, On my second ag brewday, (Smurtos Golden Ale) all was going to plan and decided to have a wee drop of the Black Beer that was my first ag, Yummm :icon_drool2: Only had a couple but must have affected brain function anyway. I got to my 5 min hop addition but forgot to add my Irish Moss...

Thanks guys :D Good 'ol Palmolive had crossed my mind, but was worried about dish washy taste :icon_vomit: Will give it a go and try not to be too heavy handed. Syringe is a great idea also. Thanks heaps. TF.

G'day all, Have just got hold of some 85% phosphoric acid. After searching this forum, I have come up with the fact that I need to dilute it to around 2%. Also I have read that you need to add something to make it adhere to hard surfaces better (more thorough contact) There is a chemical called...

A couple kilo for me at the right price B)

Hi all, Early next month it's my birthday, and the inlaws have asked what I would like worth up to $150 Anyone got suggestions for a grain crusher or parts to build one that you can get off the shelf in Adelaide? Cheers TF

No thanks Boston! But thanks for the heads up. :D I'll probably go ahead and order it tomorrow as I have rustled up some local brewers to split it with. Will double check with them, but I'm pretty sure it's the right one as they said they sold the 200 litre drums to another industry for...

85% I believe

Hi all, I have tried to get Phosphoric Acid locally in bulk. I can get 20L for $120 from Landmark, but that seemed a bit exy for my tastes. I'm not sure where else to try looking for it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Tribalfish.

Thanks guys, Will give beerbelly a ring tomorrow. All I need now is a mill and I'm Larfin' :lol: Tribalfish.

HI all, Just bought approx. 8 kilo of grain from interstate and it cost me nearly $19 in Freight <_< Does anyone in SA buy their grain in bulk? If so where is the best place/cheapest? Thanks in advance, Tribalfish. *Edit Freight.

Thanks wambesi :icon_chickcheers: I've gone ahead and registered the program. There's some pretty cool stuff to play with. SWMBO reckons I spend too much time infront of the computer now!! I'll be needing glasses for my square eyes by the end of the week! :ph34r:

Hi all, Looking at getting Beersmith and I have just done my first BIAB beer. Are there enough options in the program to provide a correct assessment of recipes etc. using this style of brewing? Thanks in advance, Tribalfish. :icon_cheers:

I have a kelvinator 240L aswell. It is now fitted with an external thermostat for temp control. When I am adjusting the temp and if the motor has just cut out and I try and drop the temp even more, the motor tries to kick in but just makes a humming noise. If I turn it off at the plug and leave...

+1 for the gladwrap and o ring. I had to do the same thing today as my second fermenter has to sit on the motor hump in my chest freezer. Definitley no room for an airlock. I do like the length of hose in grommet idea though, then you can stick it where it fits! Tribalfish.

Thanks MHB. :icon_cheers: Pumps up my efficiency a fair bit. So many little things to remember in a relativley short period of time. Made plenty of notes on things I could have done better and equipment I need to purchase. Can't wait for the next brewday and ofcourse the tasting! :icon_drunk...

Hi all, I have done my first ag brew via the biab method this morning. Everything went really well except I didn't remember to take volume and sg readings until 10 mins into the boil.(realised at first hop addition!) So I shut down the burner and took a sample to test later when cooled, and...
