The coming of the 6 pack - Bulimba gold top Long before I got to Australia but gotta love it.

455, 456, 457 Not sure if you've finished counting but shouldn't you be starting the payment thing going so you can ship them when you are done? four hundred and fifty .. damn! 1,2,3.....

Good info @Lionman I should have added a link to using fruit in secondary. Personally I add spices/fruit etc. inside a hopsock so I can pull it out easily. Just thinking about the Weetbix and thinking unmalted wheat would be better. The Weetbix are going to turn into a gluggy mess and...

Well I just pump Percarb through it by attaching the top arm to the bottom valve with silicone tube for a while. I tip the dirty stuff out manually, do another percarb wash normally and let that drain out through the helix and valve. Honestly don't know if that's a good way but works so far.

The screen and pipe should sit tight so maybe that's it. Like I think I said earlier I only use full wattage to heat the water to mash temp and later bring to the boil (A 1 minute step to hit temp) Other than that I set to 1800w for no reason other than avoiding scorching etc. In my 40l unit...

@wide eyed and legless @goatchop41 @fdsaasdf @nathanvonbeerenstein This is a forum guys and this thread is about lauter helixes. Stop with the character assassination and just add to the info including your personal experiences. Is WEAL biased? hell yeah! Does WEAL often give out useful info...

I grew up in the UK so those icy cold beers are for the kids :) I normally have my APA's serving at 5C and Englishes at 7C. Sadly my old kegerator is struggling to get below 7 now. Going to get an upgrade in January. Lagers I do think need to be cooler so don't make them atm. The temperature...

Exactly how I do it too. Yes it's possible there's insufficient in the base and that could cause the scorching. Also the fine mill would make it easier for grain to slip past the baseplate and loose overflow pipe. @lespaul Did you taste the wort before dumping it? Just because you've got scorch...

I have mine as tight as I can make it so it doesn't flop around. Try not to move the pipe when mashing in etc. I can't imagine scraping the plate so long as it wasn't with mighty force would cause an issue. Did you say you got scorching BEFORE the boil? Set at 1800w? There's something amiss...

I think the out of stock thing is @KegLand-com-au being more successful than they planned for and not ordering (or being able to order due to limited funds) enough quantities to cover demand. They will certainly be able to address this over the next few months. As for the discrepancies on the...

I normally set mine to 1800w anyway, only use more when ramping up at start and to reach boil . You'll need to contact KK about it though. As for grain in kettle - like WEAL said your grainbed should be your filter. I use the top screen and adjust recirc so it doesn't go through the overflow...

I actually don't cook oats first I use the home brand quick oats (check that they are 100% oats) and add some rice hulls to the mash. However, just boil some water in a pan and add the oats for about 10 mins should do it. By FWH I'm assuming @Lionman is talking about first wort hops and not the...

They are caps that are a larger diameter usually used for champagne bottles. Grain and Grape sell them and a suitable capper. I'm sure sponsors here have them too. Edit: Craftbrewer sell the caps and a replacement capper bell :)

You are probably right, as consumers we are so used to the dumbing down of everything it's the norm. That and statements like "low fat" and "diet" or actually "90% fat free" - so it's 10% fat but people only see the fat free part. The worst one I've seen is "Diet water" in Japan and China. WTF?

Yep, that's right. I couldn't explain the science behind it so stayed quiet. Such a pity Lyrebird cycles isn't active here any more. He's a winemaker and would have provided a complete scientific explanation.

It would be nice though if they added a simple statement suggesting an optimum temp. They could even do something like "Advanced brewers may want to ferment at the optimum of 18C" or whatever. That way new brewers can simply ignore the advanced brewer suggestion. What do I know, I've only got...

Makes sense, I doubt anyone is going to be too upset if they get 980 instead of 1000.

Make sure to count them before you start drinking otherwise you might end up with only a few bags :)

I'm in a 90's state of mind
