Yep- I do the same, 60ml flush religiously after each and every use...inside gunk still bloody scary! Remi

I have been annoyed by an odd flavour in my recent Red Ale which I only noticed towards the end of the keg. Switched over to a keg of Bock when the Red Ale ran dry (which was brewed a few months ago), and noticed the same unpleasant flavour... Took the tap apart- whoa baby! I didn't think it...

I batch sparge, usually in 2-3 batches depending on whether I'm making a single or double batch (50L mash tun). Recirculate for 10-15 min with the pump on through fully open 1/2 inch fittings, pump to the kettle the same way- no flow restriction at all. Never had a stuck sparge (although I don't...

interesting, i was just there recently and put away a fair few of these over a week or so- never got a band-aid one... ?improved their practice or my palate? remi

thanks for your replies, the randall willl sit inside the chest freezer...might not use all the hops in one go then- don't have a big enough party planned in the next few weeks to blow all the hops in one go! remi

My new hop randall will arrive this week. Despite extensive searching here and elsewhere i've found it hard to answer a couple of specific questions- such as: Is there a limit to how long hops can sit in a randall? For a given amount of hops, is there an amount of beer that flows over them...

not sure which beer it was- i entered an american pale, an english brown and a bock. likewise the first place winner, entered 2 beers, so isn't sure which one was the winner. score sheets will come in the mail. all in all, a fun day...tried some pretty terrible red wine! remi

Woo-hoo- I won the 'encouragement' award, also known as 'second place', i hope. i remember what the encouragement award meant at school sports... it was a fun day, great to meet a few local brewers. looking forward to receiving my score sheets, as i have never had 'formal' feedback for my beers...

i was there tonight as well- and agree it was a good session, not too busy at all. managed to taste a fair few beers, and had a couple donate their leftover tickets to us at 7.30 just as we were running low. the beers i liked were pretty much the ones i already liked, holgate, coldstream...

wow- how about their 1BBL system for under $3000...there are some advantages to living in the us http://conical-fermenter.com/about/attachm...brewing-system/ remi

Big fan of my camlocks also- agree with the suggestion to put males on your pots, and females on hose ends. I bought mine from Geordi Stainless Steel in Victoria, spend some time figuring exactly how many you need to save on postage/ repeat trips in future! remi

i follow this guys regime for keg cleaning/ maintenance. probably a bit too anal, but what are you gonna do? remi

definitely no need to sanitise glad-wrap, it is used for a few medical indications with no worry about sterility... remi

agree on the hose advice- best to have female on hose ends, not just to avoid damage, but it makes the attachment process a whole lot easier, as there is more room for the arms to swing.. i also went with stainless fittings from geordi- hopefully it will turn out to be a once only expense. i...

belgian in the keg brewed june '08, 8.6%ABV, still going strong remi

had the same a few weeks ago- repair is usually not worth it. i gambled on an attempt at re-gassing, bought me an extra 48hrs of cold beer only, before it died again. managed to find the exact same freezer on trading post for less than i paid for the first one, simple matter of swapping the...

the brandon (in carlton north) used to, but i'm pretty sure they've had a gentrified re-fit since i was last there... remi

i picked my up from united tools in newlands road- coburg. that was a year or so ago though, haven't been again recently
