    Tap hygiene question

    Clean the lines every time you change the kegs. Give the taps a thorough clean every couple of months. Perhaps a bit more frequently. I've just gotten a Bucket Blaster from KegLand and have added a few bits so I can clean my lines without wasting CO2. I think that'll help me keep up the...

    Whats In The Glass

    I just downed a 750ml Irish Red Ale I made from a fresh wort kit (I don't have the gear to do anything more yet). Now I am sipping a shot of Wild Turkey American Honey. Thought I was out, but when I stashed my latest batch of Breakfast Stout (it's what happens when you put muesli rather than...

    Where do you get your nitrogen from? Do you need a different reg setup? Are there any good (and australian) resources on Nitro?

    Keg level

    I am starting to build something to track the amount dispensed. I bought a couple of hall-effect flow meters (they are for water) and am writing some code for an arduino to keep track of the amount of that has been dispensed. I need to get some fittings to connect it between the keg and the...

    Mangrove jacks mixed berry cider

    I put one together a couple of months ago. I didn't follow the instructions and added the sweetener at the beginning :) It turned out ok. Started off a bit astringent, but then came good after a week or so in the bottle.

    Best Fridge for Kegging

    Yeah, that was something that concerned me. As Frothy1 mentioned, there's font fan with the latest iteration, and I know the stainless font has insulation, so it shouldn't be that bad. If you felt like it, you could always look at a poor man's glycol system with it or with a flooded font.

    Where can I buy a Kegmate?

    Dropped in and had a chat to Anthony this morning; really impressed with the keg mate. They had some left in stock, and the missus has decreed that I am to replace my brewing fridge with one, and I can get one for serving. Not only was I impressed with the device, but the guys there were...

    How far west? I'm in Indooroopilly, and the local Brewer's Choice just shut up shop. They are a chain though, so there's one in Wacol and one in Ipswich. They do supply Co2 in the Wacol shop. www.brewerschoice.com.au

    The Mrs wants a good ginger and apple cider

    G'day mate, I've done a batch of Mangrove Jack's Apple Cider. I really like it. It has a sachet you can add to change the sweetness. They do a few different ciders (cysers?) with different things, like a mixed berry cider and I think an apple and pear. Take a look at their website, or check...

    New mead maker

    I bottled my first mead at the beginning of the year. I followed the JAOM recipe, but managed to mess up when siphoning, so I only got about 3 litres out of it :) Currently ignoring it; I really want to give it a try, but it's still immature. I want to do a much larger batch soon.
