Glad I got you to do the research :) and totally agree for brewing flouride is a non issue. Can you point me to a source that shows Metabisulphite reduces flouride? Interested for non brewing reasons. Thanks for great info as always @MHB

Sadly it's part of the "you should know" genome structure. What's wrong? answer above Why are you upset? Well if you don't know I'm not going to tell you! If I knew .... no no! Sorry for being insensitive darling. You know the drill :) edit: sorry, totally OT

Beat me to it :) And if you can't get Crystal 80 just use about 75% Dark Crystal [90] and 25% light crystal.[40] Depending on the colour of Crystal you have - might need more or less.

Yep, exactly what I do, make keg sized brews to keep it all simple.

Nice one, it's on my buy list but funds are low, so it will be good to have a read in the meantime.

Most of the time I use a sediment and carbon filter on brewing water mainly to remove chlorine. @MHB I'm not sure meta has any/much effect on flouride. My understanding was only RO or deionizing filters removed it. (I'm not including alkalinizer type filters as they would increase pH and...

Well yes. we all need to ensure the yeast we use is in good shape and in adequate quantities regardless of whether we are producing a few litres or thousands. But home brewers have great scope to be backyard experimenters and try things the commercial entities may not be willing to spend the...

i do pressure ferments mainly on malt driven beers, usually at zero for the first 3 days, then set spunding to 10psi or so. True, my aim is to speed up the ferment by increasing pressure and temperature. I've done side by side comparisons and cannot identify which is fermented in the usual...

Personally I'd ditch the BE2 and use all light malt, or malt and maltodex if you are trying to boost the mouthfeel. As for hops.... do you want an Aussie pale and American or English beer? The Coopers real ale can be used as a base for them all. I like English and American, so for English would...

Are autumn leaves as good as straw? Don't have any money to spend on the garden atm. And what green/brown ratio do you normally aim for? I'm doing roughly 1 green to 3 brown by volume, but wish I could make compost quicker :)

Now that's my kind of keezer Great bit of furniture with natural timber top.

Why wouldn't they. It's free feed so long as they can get it before it goes stinky and moldy (I guess rural chook owners would still be ok with it) A friend of a relative keeps a few chooks in his suburban back yard and I always take a tub of spent grain when we visit if I've brewed in the past...

Actually that gives me a thought... will swap grain for chook poo - win win!

Yep I understand that it's a good way to try Nitrogen for those who want. As for the 2 kegs a month - no. Even 4+ kegs a year over 4 years the Gasweld unit would make sense (No rental just 1 off buy and a swap and go when it's getting a bit old or empty) I'm hoping your refillable Oxy bottles...

If it's the same as the one I have: Overall is 9.5cm The actual body part is about 7cm (the big bit that sticks up above the lid)

Never managed to get it yet. When I think I'd like to give it a go it always seems to be out of stock.

Yeah he's a nice bloke, I've only bought a couple of things from them so I wouldn't qualify.

Definitely a fridge or 2 up in QLD are mandatory I'd say. I got 2 off gumtree A fridge freezer for free - working lovely still after 2 years and a $50 mini fridge that I use as a kegerator that's struggling a bit these days Both using cheap STC1000 controllers. Small investment for controlled...

Eh! what's this club discount thing? Paid $55 for mine, it is a nice malt though, sure as heck better than Joe White :)

Wait! The description says they will dispense 40l So just 2 Corny kegs ? $20 a Corny is just crazy. Is that right or is it a typo? I might have to save up and get the Gasweld D size, will pay for itself after 16 kegs at that rate.
