I use the blue Willow ones http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Willow-Water-Carry-Can-Blue-20-Litre.aspx?pid=13453#Recommendations There are a number of threads on AHB just search for no chill cubes.

Hi spires and welcome to the forum. I use a 40L crown urn, if you do then wondering why you are using 17 litre cubes rather than a 20 litre (which hold about 24litre), seems a lot of mucking about to me. On the spreadsheet use 21 litres for the recipe then change to 17 litres for the volumes...

You can buy Wheat DME, but don't think its equivalent to Coopers Wheat LME. I think Coopers is only 50% wheat, may be wrong.

Clocks do run the same way in Tasmania as on the Mainland, it's just the Calenders that are years behind.

Use something like an Australian Pale Ale kit rather than an English Bitter Should give a reasonable IBU (18) in 23 litres. Kit alone should produce about a 2.5% alc beer if bottled, slightly less in kegs. Then you could start experimenting by adding Maltodextrin which should help with body...

That's the one I use, also now gives a % viability for year old yeast rather zero. Still working through my stocks of March 2014 1469PC. As I now make mainly Pale Ales/ ESBs. I take 1.5 litres of wort from the current brew. Make a starter with 1/5th of a pack in 500ml for 24 hrs then add 1000ml...

Don't need a funnel, just use a folded piece of paper. You are never going to get good consistent results with carbonation drops. If you are not going to bulk prime then weighing out sugar or dextrose is a good option. You can buy a 0-200 gram balance for about $10 which you will need later for...

Thought that was called a computer these days. EBC = 1.97*(1.4922*((wt grain in gms*2.2*grain ebc/1.97)/Ferm vol Litres/3.79))^0.6859

Visited Brew By You in Invermay Rd Launceston about 3 months ago. Said they were going to be set up for refilling CO2 cylinders.

Launceston is the nearest place you can get cylinders filled. I have two 6kg cylinders so fair while between refills. cheers

Hi mattyg8 Yes you should be able to do initially, but you should look to working out values for your set up. I am still making slight adjustments to my values after 150 brews.

Did a few brews with this batch recently and had no problems. I use a fifth of a pack for my starters in 500ml then add 1000ml on a stir plate. Now to work through the rest of my 1469PC batch from March 2014.

Done my work for the day, put a BIAB brew down, kegged/bottle a brew, transferred a brew to secondary for cold conditioning, cleaned up. Plus collected all the beans, tomatoes strawberries and raspberries that were ready.

Hi toolio666 Just google which will lead to sites like Beersmith http://www.beersmith.com/Grains/Grains/GrainList.htm

Hi KB Yes as you said. You can add what ingredients you want.

Hi woodie Read the Notes worksheet, that should give you a start.

Hi Glomp Welcome to the forum. Feel free its not protected. I am away for 2 weeks. cheers Ian edit one thing I have been asked for is extra hop values.

Brewed today for a 2014 total of 814 litres, 118 litres beer stock and 66 litres in progress.

This morning managed to do a BIAB brew, kegged/bottled a brew and racked a brew for CCing, plus clean up. Finished for 09:30. All I have to do now is put my starter on this afternoon then enjoy a few amber fluids.
