Hi Bertram, We're moving out of our brewery tomorrow. Sob. Sob. We've got an excess of bottles so if you want to pop over around 11am I can offload a few crates to you. I'll be keeping most of the pints and 500ml; but you welcome to any tallies and 330ml jobbies. This editor's knackered...

That vessel sounds interesting Clatty - got a picture of it that you can show us?

There's a fairly long thread here at AHB on this topic. Cheers Breezy

That guy's a legend. Didn't know he was a brewer... Make sure you check out the ASCII Star Wars on his home page - its an Internet classic:)

MA, A great post thanks! This and the one on stir plates by Brewer Pete really lift the bar and are what I like to read and learn from on AHB. pH, calcium levels, chloride/sulfate ratios... I've got a lot to learn! Cheers Breezy

Hey Gout, Very good idea that post - we popped down late last year and did quite a few laps of Boundary road before we found the factory. 4^2, our stuff has been pretty good - we got ~120kg of Munich, Pale, Pilsner and Wheat for $180. No rocks... We're only getting 61% efficiency; but there's...

Hi Tinny, I've made four citrus brews as a cheap quaffer alternative to our BIABs. Lager kit, 500g wheat malt, amarillo hops (dry hopped in primary) and a lemon or lime (1 week in secondary), US-05 or WY-1272 yeast. I tried the lime once, but it left a bitterness which tasted like it was from...

Good thread Manticle, good luck with your project. I found this post today on a 'ribcage immersion chiller' - it's a beaut: http://lostinfermentation.com/2009/09/01/r...ersion-chiller/ Cheers Breezy

+1 Millmaster. It didn't work out of the box which was quite disappointing. The faults are all well documented here on the forums though. Now that we've ironed out the kinks and fitted a gearguard (courtesy of someone's cutout pdf somewhere here on the forums) it is just brilliant. If they...

Hi Fergi, There's a great recipe here. I use it all the time with lemons (not tried a cranberry one yet) and it works a treat. http://www.byo.com/blogs/Easy-Brewday.html Let us know how you get on. Mike

Ahhh, we're heading into Aluminium vs SS territory here. I bought our pot from Beerbelly and agonised for too long over whether to pay extra for the SS; or extra to have a tap fitted; or extra to have a thermometer fitted. In the end I sucked it up and went for all three. Wayne's workmanship was...

We have a 98l pot over an Italian Spiral and can manage most double batches comfortably. The big gravity beers push the limits a little. We had 18kg of grain in for a big stout clone (OG 1077) recently. 48 litres into the fermenter meant 72 odd litres (we factor in nearly a litre lost per kilo...

Same. Got my burner from Cellarplus and medium pressure regulator and some shiny Stainless Steel toys from that helpful guy in SA:)

Hey Guys, On the whiskey beer theme, I had a BrewDog - Paradox (Smokehead) a few weeks ago. Think Imperial Stout aged in whiskey cask. http://www.brewdog.com/paradox.php - they've even got a 'brewsheet' on there: ABV: 10% OG: 1092 (Jaysus!) IBU’s: 70 Malts: Marris Otter, Dark Crystal...

I'm not sure how postage from Italy would be cheaper than postage from SA;) I got mine from a Cellarplus here in Melbourne - if you've got a Cellarplus store up there you could pop in for a look. Mine didn't come in a box, and it doesn't say much on its black stand except - 'Made In Italy'...

Brilliant! Thanks Razz. For those interested, this is the WY 2450PC. Happily it's in stock at craftbrewer (but mis-labelled as 1450). Mr Malty says so too so it must be true (http://www.mrmalty.com/yeast.htm). Cheers Breezy

Hi All, I'm googling about for an equivalent yeast to the Brewtek CL-50 for the Rogues Chocolate recipe. Stumbled on this old thread... WY-1272 comes up a few times; but nothing authoritative. Any thoughts? Cheers Breezy

For those in Melbourne, the Bitches get their buckets (also at $4) with lids from http://www.secondhandstuff.com.au/ They're olive buckets and are generally a bit mucky - but clean up well. Cheers Breezy

Come on boys. Cut it out and get this thread back on topic...
