Hey VF- if it's any help, my chest freezer is almost exactly the same dimensions, 210L Kelvinator. Fit 3 cornies on the floor, and two on the compressor with a collar. Sounds like a similar freezer, hope that's of use. Remi

i was at mccoppins bottle shop in fitzroy last night, and they seemed to have a full stock of the unibroue range still on their shelves... remi

best off to pitch at your desired fermentation temp to keep the yeasties happy... remi

another option is to find a hardware store that sells the disposable bernzomatic oxygen cylinders- united tools sell them down here in melbourne, and you can buy a little valve/ regulator from morebeer.com- i've gotten about 10 brews out of each bottle, which may work out considerably cheaper...

just a quick bump of this- as if no one is interested, it's off to the tip tomorrow... remi

My 210L chest freezer has slowly died over the last few weeks- struggling to keep 10C, re-gassing attempt unsuccessful. Thankfully, I've found an identical replacement, so will just change the collar over. As such, I have no use for the old one- so if it would be useful to anyone, you are very...

Depending on your budget you could consider a tap with a flow-restrictor like a Celli...I just restrict the flow all the way back for the first pour of the day to control the foam, then let it back out when the tap gets cold...not a drop wasted. Remi

I understand that turning the tap on less lowers the flow/and therefore pressure in a fixed dimension and length of hose- but I was wondering what the pump does in that situation, as a lot of them say that they will automatically adjust to flow conditions to keep the pressure constant.

Thanks for the tips- I think I'll go for one capable of 3600L/hr with run-dry protection. Can always use a bypass as suggested if this is too powerful to water the garden with. Thanks for your replies... Remi

I'm after some advice regarding rainwater tank pumps. We've recently moved and now have a 2500L rainwater tank in our back yard. The tank has no pump at this stage, so watering the garden with it takes agesue to the low pressure. I also plan to use the tank water for cooling when I brew (I use a...

I force carb my kegs, and only have the gas on when serving beer. Always turn off the cyclinder and rinse the taps at the end of the evening...worth thinking about. Remi

No- it's this one...http://www.oysterbarny.com/ Literally beneath grand central station. As you can see from the menu- there are >20 types of oysters available from up and down the east coast mainly. It was so good, I went back the next day for more of the same.

You know- the crazy thing is, even the very mainstream bar covered with neon signs and advertising just around the corner from where I was staying still had >10 beers on tap (including SNPA), and >30 available in bottle. The crazy thing is- most of the blokes at the bar were drinking Bud Light...

Having just returned from some time in New York- I thought I'd share a couple of great beer places that you must check out if you are ever there... Firstly- Blind Tiger: 281 Bleeker St, New York. The night I was there, they had over 30 beers on tap- the vast majority being craft beer from the...

Nice work- slightly OT question, what is the stuff you have sealed the roof of your shed to the frame with? The reason I ask, is that I have just put together a brewing shed in the house we've just moved to (haven't been able to bew since November :( ) and am trying to think of a way to seal the...

one other good water use suggestion (for those of us that don't already have grey-water/ rainwater systems) is to use rinsing/ cleaning/ cooling water for the washing machine or similar- i fill old fermenters with cooling/ cleaning water during the brew day, and they get gradually tipped into...

thanks for the slant offer hutch and hoohaaman, hutch, as you are just up the road from me- i'll send you a pm. isn't AHB great? remi

thanks, good suggestions, i'm pretty sure i have a slant of 1318 hanging around actually...

Thanks, I was thinking of Ringwood- might give it a go... Remi

I'm planning on doing a version of Dr Smurto's TT Landlord clone next weekend, and was wondering what the best substitute for Wyeast 1469 would be- assuming I can't get my hands on any? Open to suggestions... Thanks Remi
