Hey James, Not improve your beer IMO. The biggest improvement to beer is generally knowledge (then applied). Depending on what the upgrade is, it could save time, save skin being burnt off, make the process easier, all sorts.

I wish I'd known. I've been hanging to reduce my bottles. Definitely had the mosaic, very carefully drunk so it didn't knock me out.

Bottleos, depachika basement liquor shops have a good selection. I went up to Kawagoe for kolcha stuffz and there was a small brewery serving beer off tap on the street. One was sweet potato based.

Evening bump.

The great clean out continues. I have glass bottles to giveaway (mostly crown, some screwies) and plastic MJ bottles (about 40 odd) to giveaway. Located at Ferny Grove. PM me, first in, best dressed.

Lowest I did US05 is at 15 degrees. Was judged as a lager and placed in comp a few years back.

Common Vegetal? Good feedback, BribieG and Mark.

Take out of the freezer.

Had to head back here to sort out some stuff. Hey, the upside is, you can post about a tiny suburb like Shearwater and end up with a response that's at least based on local knowledge. I reckon wikipedia has less Shearwater specific info. On a serious note, if lagerbomb is still around, he has...

Explains why they're so expensive.

Hey @Gloveski - I used to live in Shearwater. I had a problem with the water being too neutral to brew a decent hoppy beer. Typical Tassie problem - the water is too clean. :D I grabbed the NW Tas water profile from @lagerbomb who is over in Burnie, and worked from that. It seems to be about...

Yes, the slightly alcohol brain mixed it up.

Can confirm the need for an acid addition for pale hoppy beers, pure cac03 or a combo of it and Epsom and gypsum will still never get the pH low enough to get it right. It's been a struggle I've had out here and as I understand more and more, I realised how much effort I was wasting trying to...

I used a lower rev fan and no speed controller. Does 1L to 3L in a 3L flask.

I used this for an enclosure (upside down without the lid) for the fan etc: I "accidentally" broke the lid of one of SWMBO containers.

I may have some leftover magnets, definitely have a spare adapter and possibly a fan. I don't know, I'll have to check at home. If I do, It's free for anyone who wants to pick up (or cover for postage). However, buying off ebay with free postage may be cheaper if it's just the adapter.

Or 4 thicker 10mm diameter, about 5mm high. That does me. The other thing I forgot to mention is, if you DIY, make sure you have rubber grommets or something to buffer the screw and give the gap needed for the magnets to move.

Superglue. Holds the magnets well, but with a finger nail can be pulled off and reset.

If it's a case of all this is fine, then you put the flask with contents and stir bar in. Move the flask until the stir bar sticks to the magnets on the fan, and then slowly move the flask to centre the stir bar. Then turn on the fan. Don't turn the fan on and then try to get the bar to stick.

Either way, it'll need to be shipped into Tas - something I know a great deal about. Put the magnets on the fan (turned off of course). Then stick the stir bar to them. If both ends of the stir bar stay down, then they're the right sides of the magnet to glue down. That's the issue I had...
