So I am looking at a 7gallon Chronical and the FTSS kit. Problem is, the controller it comes with only runs the pump. I ideally I would like to have a heat pad or belt for those colder nights. I planned to run the cold water from my keezer, and want to see if it can achieve cold crash temps...

Same as Qldkev, as I have 4 kegs and room for 5.

My bad, missed the 12v thing.

I am considering this myself: http://gryphonbrewing.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=77&products_id=597

It will be tasting awesome and then the keg will blow nothing but foam. 100% guaranteed.

Went to the White Rabbit Brewery on the way home from Healsville this morning. Spoke to Elton (very friendly guy, shared some stories with me too) there and tried some beers. They had an IPA on tap, I enjoyed that. Took home a LC IPA bottle too. Comparing them, similar actually but the IPA on...

Will have to peruse and order Sunday arvo...was planning to use up the hops I have in the freezer taking up limited space...I guess I can make some room.

Kooinda Pale Ale. Lacking in aroma, but a nicely balanced beer. Enough hop flavour and bitterness with a light sweetness underneath.

Maybe not "from scratch" for someone that knows how to code. No idea what tools Yob is using for his site. Don't care. Just thought I would share sentiments from someone who has built his own website, without the skills that so many seem to take for granted. I even added a line to make sure...

Hey! From someone who designed his own site from scratch using Dreamweaver without any previous coding/dev or language knowledge, and added code from someone else that linked to google photos for a slideshow of photos...I know how much time he must spend tweaking it in the most in efficient...

Signing up on the Coopers forum is a good idea, PB2 is the Coopers go-to guy for these kits. He is great with info and advice there. As are the other members. He said he uses Belle Saison at 28c, as he likes the funk it gives. He suggested 24c as middle of the road, for Saison flavour but not...

I had issues getting the flow through to my brown pump as well - however every brew before the HERM-IT I have had to suck on the mash tun hose outlet to get a flow. I know my current mash tun is flawed (even with a false bottom) but will be changing it completely soon. Once I did get flow...the...

I had Feral's Golden Ace a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure at first, but half way through the glass I decided I liked it. I got more spiciness than lemon. It is more robust on my palate than Mosaic or Citra, they seem a bit softer.

I'd drink anything once. If it is nice, bottoms up! It wont kill you if it tastes like arse.

Aroma and 10 min additions seem very low. I know you are no chill adjusting, but that is to correct the bitterness. It isn't going to get you more flavour. I know some people on here just throw all the hops in at flameout then no chill from there. Not using a bittering hop at 60min would net you...

Got the HERM-IT running my mash now. Had some problems with the brown pump clogging with grain - my mash tun is not round, and the base is not 100% flat, so bits of large grain flow through until it sets. I will just have to run off the wort until it is mostly clear then connect the pump next...

You are right. I was off on that comment.

PB2 from the Coopers forums just posted this: Our ales are not filtered. Rather, they are centrifuged then seeded with re-vitalised yeast (same strain as primary), primed with liquid sugar then bottled/canned/kegged.

Only done 3 starters on a ghetto homemade stirplate. Each time 1.5l and never massive activity, just a thin layer of foam on top if I stop the stirplate. Each brew has attenuated more than expected. I think it is quite easy to overpitch and miss out on some of the yeast derived flavour that you...

Hobgoblin clone for the Styrians and Fuggles. Was nice after a few weeks in the keg. Enough that my mate wants a keg of it for his 28th in 2 weeks. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/36386-orfeys-hobgoblin-clone/ Use 1275 yeast and ferment at 20c.
