Ss would be ideal. Any suggestions on good suppliers? Also any advice on camlock vs qd?

So I've decided to take my AG brewing to the next level and I want to build a HERMS rig. Because I'm a tight arse and want to cut cost where I can I would like some advice on QDs for my hoses. Is it ok to use brass garden hose fittings?

Ah, the government shutdown... Forgot about that one. Using the tracking number they gave me it says it's at the airport sorting facility.

Has anyone recently ordered from Yakima valley hops in the US? I put in an order mid September and still no package, just wondering if this delay is the norm. Cheers Mick

Yeah weighing the bottle is the way to go, bit more accurate

Cool thanx

Anyone using a four ring burner? Just wondering how much gas they chew. Cheers Mick

Looks good, cheers, does it chew much gas over a 60min boil?

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get a gas burner for my brew kettle? I'm currently using an old camping gas stove but it takes a while to get 30 odd litres of wort to a boil. Cheers Mick.

Haha nice, I barely have that much weight in grain left

Wow 2 weeks is great! Especially from the state's. Looks like I'll be placing a 3.5lb order today. How to you guys store your hops? I usually keep them in their original package inside an airtight container at the back of the fridge. Any other suggestions?

Have many of you bought hops from Yakima valley hops? How long is the average time It takes to get to your door from ordering?

Excellent thanks for the replies, so the general consensus is Magnum for generic bittering. Cheers

Cool thanks, I have been reading a bit on this topic and have found a fair bit of info but unfortunately being the internet there is alot of contradictions out there... Hoping someone has some first hand experience on what they do for bittering. I'm just looking for ways to cut cost so instead...

Just wondering if anyone could tell me if it really makes any difference what hops you use for bittering? As long as you get the AA you want of course.

Interesting stuff, my next brew will be a dry lager using just pils malt and rice so a good rest at the 45-53c range would be beneficial to clear up the end product?

Cool, thanks for the advice guys. Cheers

Hey guys, just wondering if I could get some plane language info on the importance of protein rests during a mash. I'm relatively new to all grain and only done single temp infusion mashes. Cheers Mick.

Good idea, I'm not use to buying bulk grain but looking at the savings it seems stupid not to.

Ok thanks, good to know coz I've got 40kg of 2 row coming... I was planning on dividing into 5kg bags and vac sealing anyway. I feel for you having to throw that marris otter out too, definitely tear worthy.
