Yeah, did you see mythbusters when they shot a massive cylinder (not sure what size) through a brick wall? Kinda scary. :blink:

Don't currently need to worry about space. Have a 500L chest freezer :beerbang: , but only 4 kegs and a couple of CC jerrys.

Assume it's iron, as it's reasonably heavy for its size. I know that the guys who refill it freeze the bottle before refilling (presumably so that it can be filled more)

Thanks for the advice. :P Will do.

Hi all, Does anyone have an opinion about putting the CO2 bottle in the fridge? Will prevent having to put a hole in, and will allow the bottle, reg and line to be portable without having to dismantle. I have plenty of space, so that's not an issue. My thoughts are that it would be fine...

Would love to come along, but with the impending arrival of #2 baby, I may be otherwise occupied! Otherwise, I'll be there with one or two brews for the rest of you to tell me what I can do better! :beer:

Oh, the irony! :rolleyes: I went around to Dr Gonzo's place on Sunday at 12 to crush enough grain for my next two AGs (that took some advance planning, not something I'm known for - that's another story). Had a good time having a chat! Got home at 1:30 to find.... you guessed it, the...

Umm, isn't that what we want the barley for? :blink: :D

You can get the Barley Crusher from G&G (listed on Barley Crusher website), but the G&G version doesn't come with the base plate, and it works out to be more expensive than going direct to Randy. It's an agonising wait at the moment - I want (no, make that need) to brew 3 times in the next few...

Hi guys, Ordered my Barley Crusher from Randy at BC Products 7 weeks ago, but haven't received it yet (quoted 4-6 weeks postage). I know that post can sometimes be delayed, but what's the experience of others here who have ordered a Barley Crusher from the US? Cheers, BenH.

Thanks for the thoughts guys, yeah, I've been thinking that maybe the base malt weight wasn't right. I bought it crushed from my LHBS (haven't received my BarleyCrusher yet), but didn't double-check the weight before dough-in. I use a refractometer to do my readings, and the samples were...

Hi all, Brewed my 12th AG on the weekend, and something unusual happened... I "apparently" got over 100% :blink: efficiency into the kettle. My usual efficiency into kettle is more like 80% (and has been that way for the past 5 brews). 5.2kg JW Pilsener 0.05kg Bairds Chocolate Mashed at...

Does anyone know a source for cheap 1/4' copper tube in Adelaide?

So what IS the truth about importing hops?

Jeez, didn't really notice. Just as well I had my back turned - couldn't see how much danger I was in! :D

The other way you can 'deal' with low efficiency is to increase your malt bill. But I agree with kong, 40% is quite low. What 'system' and technique are you running for your mash?

For me, the bitterness really had some kick this morning! I am NOT an expert, but agree that the beer was nicely balanced. It was a pity that I was driving, as had to restrict myself to 3 glasses. :huh: I didn't know the place existed, and last night I was a wheatie virgin :lol: , but I'll...

Agree. I'll also be there but won't know anyone. Look forward to a few conversations about my favourite subject! :beer:

Nice pattern! I wonder if it's like fingerprints - no two krausens will be the same! :D

If you can, get another pack tomorrow, rehydrate and pitch.
