Right, where is that picture. I need a tutorial on posting pics I think, it never works for me. I will try again later. :ph34r:

I am in the middle of building a brewstand and it is getting down to the nitty gritty now where it is just a few finishing touches and a few adjustments. What do you think you might have added to your brewstand when you built it that would have been handy. Anyway, here is a picture of the...

Top banana mate, that looks the bollocks. I must get round to doing mine, I have an 18M coil sitting under the house but have been preoccupied with building my new brewstand at every opportunity. Your IC is inspirational but I think I will stay more mainstream with mine. :super:

Hey Warren, I hope you don't mind but I have used your 3 tier system as a standard for mine and have started building my own, I was wondering what you used for standing the burner on and how have you found it? My set up will be a little different from yours because I will be using the burner for...

Ahem...I too will be supplying beer for the Xmas case so I think I will take the honour of worst brew. :ph34r:

That looks like a good design there mate, done yourself proud! I ordered my Mill from Fred yesterday and got an email today confirming it will be sent first thing Monday morning (US time) it will take around a week to arrive and be ready for my AG debut in a few weeks. I ordered the 2A because...

Thanks for the tip Warren, I will have a better look down at Bunnings over the next few days. I tried the siphon today using a length of hose down below the level of the kettle and it worked like a dream :party: I will be joining the AG ranks very soon.

Cheers for that Warren, I have tightened them as much as I can. The outside nut is straight forward but tightening the inside one is a bit difficult because of the curvature of the keg. The compression fitting is easier to tighten though because of the small distance between the inner keg wall...

Ah! The penny drops! I will give it a bash tomorrow and see how it goes...fun this brewing lark innit. :super:

Today I made some progress with my converted kegs, I made a water tight seal on my pipe nipple and did a test boil with my Nasa burner, it took just under 10 minutes to get 30l to a strong boil!!! All is good My problem lies with what to do with the water once it is boiled. I used some copper...

Esky for $40....What size and shape is it? I am in the market for a cylindrical type and have not found anything under $100. But to answer your question..Yes I did spend most of my tax refund on brew stuff, I finished off my kegs and bought taps and fittings, the rest will go towards some...

Cheers, you are all lifesavers, I will get onto this over the weekend and give it a trial with hot water instead of cold to see what that does. I will clean up my brass parts first as above but have one question, WTF is hydrogen peroxide...? Common Bleach? :unsure:

I will be onto a real winner with this one, I will hand over 18 bottles of my best effort, akin at the moment to vinegar/sugar/flat lemonade and receive 18 bottles of the good stuff....Result! :super: :D I will be well up for a brewday at Ross's place. It would be really cool to meet up with...

Fibre washers :unsure: Can I get those at Bunnings or is a trip to a plumbing store in my future? How long do they last, have any of you brewers found they need replacing after X amount of brews? :unsure:

I am hoping to wrap this up over the weekend so I was hoping someone who knows what they are doing would help me stop the keg leaking. Should I wrap the nipple in plumbers tape or is it in need of a washer between the flange nut and the rubber washer or do I need new washers? A mixture of all...

I had the day off work today so i decided to have a bash at this drilling and tap fitting so off I went to the local drill bit shops, I tried 4 different places but could not get a bit and arbor for less than $60 in the end I bought it but really wretched giving over the cash for one poxy drill...

Cheers for all the pointers, I have learned one or two things and got a few ideas from you all. I think I will stay with an immersion chiller for now, don't see the benefit of a CFWC with all the added effort of cleaning the inside of it although it is more economical on water. I don't think I...

Along with drilling two kegs and fitting taps this weekend I am going to make an immersion chiller in preparation for my first AG batch scheduled for early August. I had a quote this afternoon from a local plumbing type place for an 18M roll of 3/8 copper at $68, this sounds pretty good and is...

I have been thinking about this quite a bit and intend to have a bash at it at the weekend. I have a hammer and centre punch but a bit lacking in the drill bit arena, I don't want to spend a fortune on high quality drill bits that will drill 100 kegs all I want is to drill through the 2 that I...

Yeah, I would imagine that would be a real bummer. I will use the bits I bought yesterday for my converted keg, the wall is obviously much thinner and these should butt up nicely, the mashtun will be the same but with a long pipe nipple to make it through the thick esky wall. I am still...
