I thought it was the air (or N2 component of air) that created the tight bubbles/ mouthfeel / carbonation when pushed through a hand pump? Probably a silly question but what benefits would a bladder provide other that single use/ sanitation?

Hey KL team, any plans for a beer engine/hand pump?

Boiling water drives off most O2 (if I recall correctly) so would a keg full of boiled water and 1/2 campden tablet, left overnight- to be pushed out with CO2 or other inert gas be the go?

Anyone used the canning station with the 500mL Kegland cans and does it all fit ok?

Just add the majority of your hops either at whirlpool (or if you no chill, directly into the cube and fill the cube at about 80c). I regularly add no hops during the boil at all, whirlpool, add all my hops to the cube and transfer ~ 80c. Dry hop day 3 or so and again just before terminal...

Brewzilla. Easy, compact, 20L big W pot for sparge water. For what it's worth I have three of them, and having previously BIAB and 3V brewed I wish these were available at this price point when I'd started brewing. If you no chill you can continue to knock out cubes even when you don't have...

I don't invert my 6kg bottle, fill two sodastream cylinders at a time (pre chilled in freezer) with the KL adaptor. Takes about ten minutes to do two cylinders from unscrewing the reg, filling and putting the reg back on. Seriously isn't much work at all.

Kegging a big beer is a wonderful thing if you have the patience, just had a 9L keg blow (Saturday night) of RIS that was ~ 18 months old, was absolutely delicious. I'd only ever have <3 glasses of it at a time but it only made it that long because I've always had other beers on tap as well.

Yes absolutely, I generally store them in larger amounts than test tubes- say specimen jars of 50- 60 mL volume. Up to 6 months in the fridge 1st step is usually a 500mL starter and the yeast from that into a 3L starter. Of course there's always the option of over-building your initial starter...

What sort of ratio did you go with the hops mate?

My standard approach for 23L no chill batch: 84% Ale malt (Or Gladfields light lager) 8% Flaked wheat 8% Flaked Oats Mash at 53 for 15, 66 for 60, 78 for 15. Brewbrite and yeast nutrient at whirlpool Cube hop @ 4g/L @ ~80c Day 2/3 Hop addition @ 3g/L Day 6/7 Hop addition @ 3g/L By Day 10 I...

Does the winner get a carton or something as part of the prize? Is this comp restricted to VIC brewers or do you accept postal entries?

Is this open to postal entries?

Sounds almost identical to how a Braumeister works?

Maybe even a bit of cling wrap sitting over the top with two sides taped down, will still achieve "open fermentation" but also just maybe stop unwanteds floating in..

Any ETA on the Citra Cryo hops? It seems no one has any available in Australia at the moment!

I suspect it is because you can remove the protective oxidised layer on the stainless

Thought I'd put it out there if anyone is keen to get rid of their Brewbucket- or thinking of upgrading and has one spare, I'm after one. Looking to upgrade from plastic! Cheers, Mack

Left hand side wall as you open the door, replace it ( or you could try unplugging it and plugging back in)- you need to undo the cover first.

Try the temp probe first mate, had same error- fixed it.
