The reason I did not buy direct from TWOC (After being asked by Fred to do so) was because of their horizontal approach to running a business and the fear of something like this happening...My mill getting "Lost" In the end I emailed fred with my concerns and arranged to buy direct from him, I...

Looks like a trip to get a new (Cheap) drill from bunnings is on the cards then. I thought the speed of my drill was too fast so something I can torque down a bit would be handy too and then you can grip the chuck with a gloved hand for extra control.

Sorry to take this slightly off track here but do you find the speed of the drill has a major effect on the crush you get with your mill? I have the cheapest 2 roller from Crankandstein and have only used it once but can't help thinking my drill is spinning way too fast for the mill (It does not...

I have never dealt with them either, but when I did ring and email they seemed offish and uninterested, they were supposed to email me with prices but did not, they said they would ring me but again no phone call. I agree with the original post that this mill should of been sent by recorded...

I got it down to 24C in around 25 minutes. I had a half bag of ice in the freezer and used it from the start of the chilling process, maybe next time I will let the water do its thing first then add the ice and maybe gain a degree or two?

Sorry to hear about the mill problem mate, I really am. I tried and tried to get in touch with TWOC to buy a mill when I heard they had stock but they struck me as unprofessional and this made me reconsider and order direct from Fred in the US, I had my mill in under 2 weeks from him andit...

Just sent mail mate, sorry about the delay. :super:

We live and learn...I am going to have to learn fast because I am going to undertake my second AG brew this weekend. :super: I wish I had drilled that sight glass an inch lower. :(

I am finally a member of the all grain club and it was nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be, nothing went wrong (Apart from adding too much hops but that was human error, my system worked very well) and I had plenty of time between steps to prepare the next step and visualise what I...

If I did that my fermenter would not stay full very long. :D

My name seems to of been left off the list, I did reply on the first page of this thread before the "debate". :ph34r: I will buy a brand new yeast and split it prior to the swap. ;) undecided as yet as to what I will add but I am in for sure. Ozbrewer___WY1056 American Ale Hoops______WY1762...

I will take 100. If we get these sorted in time for the great QLD yeast swap will these be an acceptable vessel?

I will be up for this for sure. :beerbang: my yeast supplies should be kicking in by the time of the Xmas case so I am up for it for defo, count me in. :super: Great idea.

Cheers, it is probably going to happen on Saturday or Sunday so I will post a report on the brewing session as soon as possible after the event.

I have been busy tinkering (You could tinker forever) With my setup and have decided I am as ready as I will ever be and am going to have a go at my first AG sometime this weekend. As I don't have time to get to the HBS and get a liquid yeast this time around I am going to use dry yeast and next...

What a game though fellas eh? Closest series in a long while and very entertaining, all these late nights are causing me to be a bit tired at work though! Whoever wins the Ashes will not be leaving lords. :P

The thermometers arrived from the US today, I give one of them a quick unscientific test and it seemed to work. :lol: The dials ARE like sundials..I feel a part of the club now, I can read the thing from the neighbours garden. :blink: Ag this weekend. :super:

I'm in if anyone is up for it.

You (Australia) Cant win at rugby or cricket nowadays. I suppose you might win the world cup of Aussie rules. :lol:

Eh, Batz is that a thermometer probe I see sticking through the wall of your cooler? Does it give you an accurate temp and how did you seal the hole? I too have a braided manifold, yet to be broken in but I am sure this is the way to go.
