Ok, lets bust out a new thread. Shall we say June, being the first month of winter?

Count me in too

With that title ....... cue the whitewalkers.....places evrybody...action... Just finished a bottle of prattys robust porter from the swap...ended up with 2, so what didn't I get. ...I'll never know.... Going to have a crack at that, great autumn beer i reckon

I also got an extra circuit put in. Didn't use the guard kit, got a couple of jaycar aluminium jiffy boxes, stainless glands and liberal use of aquarium silicone in addition to the supplied seals. Works a treat. Although evaporated a couple more litres yesterday than I planned! The POWER...

Last weekend fired up my 5 stars (2400 & 3600) for the first time, coming from gas ...................... damn............... why didn't i do that a year ago! We should get t shirts printed :lol:

You're on the slippery slope my friend, no turning back once that first one's kegged! Ditto to everyone else's comments, depending what it is will determine the optimal "maturing" time, but as it's your first you know you're going to be drinking some of it. Couple of weeks is good, i find some...

Ditto, i get it more when it's really warm or have a "thicker" brew. I.e. higher mash temp unfermentables. (Definitely not infection in my case)

I just installed two elements to my kettle. 5 Star 3600w and 2400w. had a mates sparky son put in an extra 15a circuit for the 3600w. (and then we came up with the list of other stuff to do while he was there, 4 lots of bedroom fans, powerpoints everywhere ..... ahhhhh!!! Bloody good rates...

OK having spent a **** load of time in Wellington over the years..... a couple of suggestions .... The General Practitioner, more upmarket food in the "nice" bracket. In Te Aro, 5 minutes gentle stroll from the centre of town. Was there 3 months ago Goldings Free Dive (i think) a little harder...

Love the plugs idea. Well it works ....... 2 kegs blew by 7 pm and lost the third around 9 pm ........ I call that a success! The poly pipe / computer fan line chiller really does work. We all ended up a bit tired an emotional towards 2 am on Sunday morning when i finally crashed.... so i...

And a pillow! No need to rush back

So far only a dry run, but fridge is at temp and it's about 35C in my garage today, hot one in Sydney. Ran the fan for about 25 minutes and the extractors were starting to get a light frost of condensation. Definitely cold to the touch. Given the air flows up the poly and then back down the gap...

Actually the ones that came with it, not ideal, but functional for now! Thanks again for the fan .... hope Chris mentioned we're up your way over the hols .... BEERS!!!!

Cut a piece of perspex in the shape of the gasket and glued the gasket on. Not prefect, that would be laser cut stainless ....... maybe for my birthday! Going to be up the shack over Christmas New Year if you're in the neighbourhood ... always a cold one or two if you wing by.

Nice work, fantastic taps

Well, many thanks to the many who gave the inspiration. Pratty you probably started it with the "stubbies" filled from your taps Barls putting on the bbq for the last swap, so many taps, so little time. Earle's awesome unit .... and all the others ..... So heres mine, tops made out of old...

Some chance of your beer suddenly turning green and bursting out of it bottle, but only if exposed to gamma radiation .... :lol: Hulk Smash! Every generation will drift depending on the conditions hat support that "natural selection" process. Flavour going to be very influenced by the temp at...

They are new and when I talked to kk last month, they said first batch due in mid Dec. Id give them a call.

Damn, just picked up on this when I went to the channel. We've lost a couple of great Kiwi's in the past few weeks, so sad for his family. A great teacher lost!
