My fridge is controlled by an STC-1000. The fridge thermostat is turned to max cold, and the fridge is plugged in to the STC-1000 box. There's a user setting in the STC-1000 to control the delay time between the fridge cutting out and then cutting in again. It's very important to use this...

Looks like I owe you a beer :bigcheers:

My new (12 months or so) Aldi "bar fridge" (but a decent sized bar fridge, unlike the sort Harvey et al sell, which barely hold a six-pack) is doing a great job, but --- it only holds one FV. With a krausen collar, it just fits. At the moment, I have three FVs on the go - an IPA nearly ready to...

Updated to restore the arrival times, taking Thursday off the list. Also added a thing for people to commit to the combined dinner if you want so I know numbers. NOTE: ~750ml PET bottles ONLY Swapping: 1. pcqypcqy - Julebryg 2. madpierre06 - Robust Porter / Hoppy Saison...half and half. 3...

Just out of interest, what's your camera? I'd bet a bottle of brew it's somewhere above a smartphone :bigcheers:

Hey - nice pics! And you can't be too "tired and emotional" (that's what pollies pissed as a fart are called when they make a total arse of themselves), um, where was I? Oh yeah - the horizons are dead level. Well done that photographer!

Re the gyros and GPS, I continue to be amazed at how stable the platform is when you just let go of the sticks. Even in quite breezy conditions, when it's shooting video, you look at the video and you'd swear you were looking at a still picture! The only way you can tell it's a video is by...

I regularly use http://www.transdirect.com.au/ which provides a range of quotes from various freight outfits, as they're freight brokers. PM me your name and email, and I can "refer" you, and you'll get 20% off the quoted price of your first freight consignment.

Yeah - just a little! The mess? Nature is quite resilient. The burnt patches of grass have pretty well recovered, the fences straightened up pretty well, and we're hopeful the chooks will start laying again anytime now!

Yeah, I have a Phantom 4. We got it 9 months ago to pre-program a mission low over our olive trees to spook the thieving birds. Works well! Plus an unexpectedly good quality camera/lens for aerial shots, both stills and movies. Somewhere I read to think of it more as a remote controlled flying...

I have 40 PET bottles, some new (quite a few Coopers ones among them), but all clean, to give away. No caps. I'm brewing a new batch today for the Stanthorpe swap, and buying new PETs to put it in. I use glass crown-seal tallies for myself, so these are surplus to my requirements. You're...

Seems that what these guys say is true! I admire your dedication and stamina. :doofus:

Keep 'em coming ! :drinkingbeer:

Update: I compared my two failed PETS with a reputable one at my LHBS. My two duds were not Morgans or Mangrove Jacks, and I don't think they were the cheapy ones from BigW either. So I've sorted my stock of empties. 17 Morgans, and 40 also-rans. So 40 to the tip, another new carton of Morgans...

Yeah, I believe Earle had a bomb, but as far as I know, it was the only one of my 24 which failed. This leads me to believe it was just a one-off dud PET bottle and not a case of over-carbing. With my current batch for the swap, I've tried one of the glass tallies, and the level of carbonation...

I've just had two PETs leak from the bottom, mess everywhere last night, and bottles near-empty but still pressurised. Which leads me to two questions: After attending a few swaps, my stock of PETs is a mix. I bought Coopers ones initially, but how can I tell now the Coopers ones from the...

Just looking through my "Pocket Beer Book" (2nd Edition), recommended in Oregon: Bend - 10 Barrel Brewing Bend - Boneyard Beer Bend- Bend Brewing Bend - Crux Bend - Deschutes Brewing Baker City - Barley Browns Brewpub Corvallis - Block 15 Brewery & Restaurant Portland - Upright Brewing Portland...

A few years back, in Brisbane at an IGA, I used to get sachets of stir-fry sauce - bloody good it was, too. One time, when checking the receipt, I found they had scanned higher than the shelf price. Got 'em free - bit of orright, I thought. Next week, same thing. Free sauce again. And the next...

Yeah - I wouldn't feel as comfortable if using rainwater in Brisbane, Gladstone, Mt Isa, or near an open-cut coal mine, etc.

I'm brewing with country rain water, which I'm assuming has little mineral content. And it's pH? As manticle said - largely irrelevant. My last brew day (to end up with 23 litres wort) had 6.6kg grain, the darkest being 120g Crystal 40L. Overall colour was 14 EBC, so a bit darker than a typical...
