There's an article in BYO where some guy uses a waste disposal unit to pulverise the apples, after that your juicer might be able to cope?

Just stick an electric element in your kettle, but make sure it's an ULWD, unless you're fond of scrubbing burnt crap off electric elements. Be aware that KL are about to release a new v.4.0 Brewzilla, they say the v 3 point whatever it's up to now will still be available but that could be...

I use 100ml tubes, my usual process is allow to come up to room temp naturally then chuck the whole lot into 500ml 1035 wort, spin for 3 days crash, decant into 2L 1035 for 3 days, crash decant and pitch, or if in a rush pitch the 2L at "high" adding however much sugar to make up for the 1035, I...

Cost and convenience, ease of mounting plus a speed controlled planetary gearbox for 80 bucks?

As CMS ^ says just saw the end off the paddle and use one of these. Before sawing the paddle in half make sure it's running true, I've seen a couple that wobbled a bit, not a problem stirring paint but not good for this use. Or use the Detroit ^ it's a fair bit more expensive but you do get the...

+1 ^ and try CBC1 LalBrew CBC-1™ – Cask & Bottle Conditioning Yeast | Lallemand Brewing

https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1050w-multi-purpose-mixing-drill_p6290204 showing In stock at my local. The Ozito is easy to mount (3 tapped holes for bolts) has a planetary gearbox, will be a lot more powerful and run indefinitely, the Aldi has the convenience of cordless, although the...

Freezer is a good idea, but vacuum pack it, if you don't have a vac machine just use clip lock bags and suck the air out.

I've usually got a choc stout on tap, Mark's dropping a fairly big hint ^, if you want that real chocolatey flavour use an extract/essence, for example Top Shelf Chocolate Cream Flavouring or for a rum barrel aged choc stout Icon Liqueurs Chocolate Rum Flavouring. Is it "cheating?" quite...

I've got gen 1's and 2's and use the lids and seals interchangeably, as I mentioned it is a bit fiddly and probably not something to do after a bit of QA work, but they do work, the new "O" ring method they are now using is certainly much easier and fairly ***** proof, it's just a shame that...

Not if the lid isn't designed for it, which is why I expressed my doubts. https://www.applerubber.com/hot-topics-for-engineers/how-an-o-ring-works/ My gen 1 is still sealing perfectly (and the gen 2's are identical) yes it's a bit of a fiddle and I'm very careful to seat it correctly before...

Hi Dave unfortunately the seal on the lid is not an "O" ring, it's more of a flat washer with a raised lip on the inside edge, the thickness of the raised lip is 3.5mm and the outside thickness is 1.5mm, internal diameter is 76mm and external diameter is 87mm, an 11mm thick "O" ring might work...

Ok, so your process involves crashing onto all the crap in the bottom of your fermenter, and then either not dry hopping or putting them in a bag, after ??? days of the beer sitting on all that **** you package, maybe you bottle? no blocked poppets that way, if the beer you produce is the beer...

It's a journey many of us have made although you forgot to give an honourable mention to the gen 1.5, the clip on lid bucket with a tap! (Ahh the luxury) @Georgedgerton I'm with duncbrewer on the FS's, if I'm using a conical then the one with the larger valve is my preferred unit, I haven't...

Just made the same (I like their V 21 as well) used a 1L starter of their commercial yeast spun up for 12hrs then pitched whole along with the can yeast, added 150g table sugar to make up for the starter, fermented at 19c +/- 1c, 1010 and finished at 12 days. I wouldn't use a starter for dried...

@Talnoy despite many pages of "how to force carbonate" on the google this is the definitive way to force carb, it used to be available here on AHB, but somewhere along the line a "cleaning" was done and the knowledge lost, some old farts retained this knowledge and re-injected it into the data...

https://www.keg-king.com.au/fermentasaurus-snub-nose-gen2.html Probably the best deal around for what you are talking about, and add https://www.keg-king.com.au/35l-snub-nose-thermowell-upgrade-kit.html for an end to lid sealing woes, be aware it doesn't fit the chubby (unfortunately)

My preference would be for BOC https://www.boc.com.au/shop/en/au/primary-co2-beverage-reg-dual-guage-801325?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsZKJBhC0ARIsAJ96n3X-Ss9FcEXsZe7d_QjHXT-xaOJqOhe3wLsVvSwfFPF1hAlpASNgePAaAswHEALw_wcB or Cigweld CIGWELD CutSkill 400KPA CO2 Home Brew Regulator 210319 if these are a bit rich...

It's a bloody minefield, when talking about fittings/cable/flex there's different ratings for temp's according to the materials used in manufacture, for example a cable might be rated to 90c, but fit it to a plug/socket rated for 60c, pull some serious current and watch the connector melt. The...
