Follow this for instructions mate: http://beersmith.com/blog/2015/05/15/new-bjcp-2015-style-guide-add-on-released-for-beersmith/

Also if you haven't already, stick a small fan (computer/camping fridge fan etc.) in your ferment fridge. Both heating and cooling will work better with this.

I do this also, works really well. The one I use is 25 watt/ 4.5m, purchased off ebay 12 months ago. Certainly enough to heat a ferment fridge for fermentation. Bear in mind that fermentation will produce heat, so the heat cord only really kicks in during the later parts of fermentation as the...

Both interesting comments. I moved to East Maitland recently and my monthly 6 pack costs $53 delivered now (was previously inner city Newcastle so was cheaper) and live about 200m from country brewer so could easily pickup. Cheaper to Tassie than to East Maitland for postage! Cheeky *******s...

I will take the 2 temp controllers if you are happy to post.

Sorry just read not willing to post... Adam.

Oh, and I have done a couple of versions with only 60 or 30 min hop additions but definitely prefer some late hops, particularly with no chill.

I have had a couple of cracks at a Marzen with 50% Pilsner and 50% Munich II (I think I may have nicked this grain bill from AHB member the drunk arab). I kind of like the idea of using german hops given the origin of the style. Generally I have used Hallertau Mittelfruh. Most recent version was...

Both now spoken for, cheers. Adam.

I have 2 STC 1000s that I bought online years ago (from hong kong when they were cheap I think) planning to set up some temp controllers. Ended up buying fully set up ones and forgot these were just sitting around. They are still in the bags they came in and I assume they are in working order...

Probably don't need them all mate, how many would you like?

Update to this: Went to plasdene to get these in the end, thanks coalminer and dae tripper. Cubes are just under $10 each (this is for the clear 20L dangerous goods ones in the link, I didn't ask the price for the 25L cubes). Minimum order is now $100 so I bought 11. Thanks for all the...

Great, cheers for the replies all. I do prefer the clear ones (for no logical reason, blue just doesn't seem right). I will give plasdene a crack. Adam.

As per title, I am looking to buy some new cubes for no chill. Does anyone know of a good source around the Newie/Maitland area? Cheers, Adam.

I use the aeration kit for brewman and have had it since they first came out: http://www.brewman.com.au/web/showproduct.asp?prodid=856 Apparently they attempted to weld the airstone to the end of the rod but the stone just melted. As before I haven't set it up yet but will basically I just...

Last time I was out getting a gas refill from Steve at Brewman he had a few stainless rods with a bend in the end to hook over the edge of the fermenter to use for this purpose. I bought one off him, but can't remember the exact cost (approx 25 bucks I think). He only had a few and I am not sure...

Is there anywhere around town other than brewman or country brewer East Maitland doing refills? I am happy to use Steve but am not going to have a chance to make it to brandy hill.

I have done this quite a few times. Unlike tilt I haven't really noticed any deterioration in beer quality. Depends a little on the set-up of your fridge I guess. My fermenting fridge is big enough that I can fit two 30L fermenters side by side. Obviously things are different in a fridge where...
