I had one intertap and 2 Perlick 545 FC. The 545 is the previous model and the intertap was the current model. The intertap was far better. It's just the norm, the newer models iron out the kinks of the prior one. If I'm paying for kinks, I'll pay less than I need to.

I live in China and I don't know that answer.

Mum is the same. Indian grandma didn't hurt the cause, but yeah, she makes her own garam masala and then tweaks it from there.

The only time I ever bought Fosters was from uncle Dan's, which was brewed in the mother land and cheaper than local VB. On a side point, I've seen Oettinger as a laget, Schwartz and Weiss in China. I'm trying to figure out how this stuff can sell for 80-90¢ a tin with the equivalent amount of...

Good to see you mate.

Bugger me, the beers you make @Bribie G - esp the older Aussie styles, they do look the goods. There is a skill in making beers that aren't overhopped or hiding behind other flavours and where their clarity is mainstream commercial esque

Where do you live? If in greater Brisbane, craftbrewer. Good prices and good advice.

I've had the KK reg and 2x micromatic regs plus an inline one (because I sold a keg system when we moved interstate and bought again, not 2x because it broke). The KK shat itself and I lost a gas bottle. Micromatic - buy once, cry once. The current model uses a small hex key for adjusting...

There's a thread regarding keg king here, rather than reiterate the issues, I'll see if I can find it. Edit: found it https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/kegking-now-at-keg-king-com-au.97238/

For the sake of disclosure @KegLand-com-au could you please let the forum know who you are, especially as you appear to be a retailer that has suddenly popped up on the thread decrying another retailer's potential demise.

Another option could be to grab an eBay jobbie, then buy a good quality pcb and refit. Some taps from craftbrewer to refit. Use your window of opportunity with SWMBO.

I've done it more times than I can count. I'm not dead and no side effects from botulism either.

I'm enjoying reading this, reviews, banter and creativity from a far off land. Great to see the creative beers, you don't get that scoffing commercial beers, and even commercial craft lacks that individuality. Carry on.

I made a Saison and used 80/20 base malt split with Ale malt and rice. Worked a treat for getting a lighter colour and taste body in the pilsner malt spectrum.

It's the conversion unit for XXXX, after all they are former Lion Nathan brewers.

And it'll give an awesome clean base to do experiments later.

If you're getting the banana, it'll be yeast-derived, not the wheat. Like you said, German Wheat has the classic banana taste and that's derived from the yeast. Not sure why their Saison has that, you'd need to ask the brewer, but don't drop wheat for the sake of banana, because you're...

Repeat what the guys above said (thankfully I'm sober and on a keyboard, not a device). Mainly Pils, I use a tiny bit of cara-something and about 30% wheat malt. Whatever noble (or british) hop I have on hand. Good yeast running very hot. Easy in Qld. No water adjustments. As stated above...

I brewed my last saison on soft water, no additions and yeah, it's all about the yeast. I played with water and every dried Saison yeast on the market and nothing worked until I got the right yeast. As for the urn off slightly sour, it's sort of a kettle sour but stops short. After mashing in...

Is this a question or a statement? My biggest 2 tips for Saison, which isn't nearly as considered as your research are 1. Wy3724 (if you get impatient, have a pack of dried Saison yeast ready to finish up) and 2. A minor souring, say in my case turn off the urn overnight and leave until the...
