Two will do it. One's in already, just one more above

There's a doghouse bound husband somewhere who has shed some tears over that!

..oh, and the rest of the shelf system will be used to build the new brewing rig. I need something heavy duty onto which I can mount my electric hoist for lifting dem malt pipes.

Well I took my daughter to Bunnings today (where else would we go? A park? Feck off, Bunnings have their own) and found a heavy duty DIY shelf whose 540mm depth measurements are perfect - https://www.bunnings.com.au/pinnacle-1830-x-1820-x-540mm-4-tier-heavy-duty-adjustable-shelving-unit_p2582967...

So what I read from that is.. old people don't give a ****. And there's a good reason for it.. they gave away all their ***** already. I, for one, have given all my ***** early so now at the ripe old age of 28 I can happily say I couldn't care less! That deserves a* beer. *another

Nah you're alright drsmurto, I've had a few already which means I've probably not interpreted your response properly. Let's all have some beers!

The doghouse needn't be well furnished if you've had a good few pints of pressure fermented, clear, ester free home brew

I agree completely, which is why I invested in a pH meter.. but is your local water profile report not enough to know the composition of water from your tap? I bought a pH meter to double-check the readings post alteration, but I trusted the water profile to know what water I was starting...

It's a justifiable assumption given the average water profile in Aus, and the target profiles advertised by Bru'n Water and the like. ed: I'm referring to the target profile for the common brewing recipes, ie pale ales and lagers. Capital cities at least require some form of modification to hit...

You can get away with gelatin if you can't get your hands on biofine - and I doubt your LHBS will have some, I got mine from Craftbrewer. Either way, super clear mead, and the flavour really benefits. Still - your Christmas will be well supplied ;)

I reckon stick with the ginger addition you made - but fining is necessary to let that flavour come through. Two weeks' chilling with a fining agent had the bottled product completely clear and I definitely noticed the difference.

Not worth the space for yeast rehydration considering it's bread yeast. Chuck it at children.

Was that the one you chucked a vanilla bean into KG? Did you biofine before bottling? I found that the bottled product differed heavily when fined

It looks like MTB is treating himself to four Fermentasaurus's this xmas. He doesn't deserve it but he's a spoiled brat and will get them anyway. Comparing to the 26L Kegmenters, there are simply too many advantages with the 'saurus that can't be ignored.

Nothing yet sir, nothing yet. My client had the nerve to ask me to do some work, my kids had the nerve to ask for parenting, and my wife had the nerve to ask me to clean. 'tis a hard life

Nothing I want more than a Robobrew-esque system capable of double batches. I long for the day

Lordy. A litre can. You'd be having a hard sesh to finish it before the can warms up too much

Yeah there might be an idea. I'll see if I can find some longer brackets, being a universal fitting it shouldn't be too hard, but I assume the longer the bracket the less weight it can hold

500mm x 545mm. So perfect length on one end - but about 5cm short on the other. I could probably install a few brackets.. but it would reduce the usable space in the fridge. Not by much though. If I were to do this, what's the recommendation for drilling into the side and attaching the brackets...

Sounds like a good enough reason to do it.. maybe I'll make use of that programmable Inkbird I have and give it a go myself
