I too am now holding off on that, very interested in this development.

you'll want a good seal, and one that lasts as well. I remember buying a heap of cheap aldi grain bins for my kitchen use, and within a few months found they were full of moths already. The seal was still there but the plastic had warped enough to prevent it sealing properly. You'll have the...

Depending on where your final retail price comes in, the price point sounds like it'll be competitive with a half decent oxygen bottle set up. I'm currently looking at going the O2 cylinder from bunnings, so that's a $200 deposit tied up on top of the costs of the wand, stones and regulator...

I finally gave my KK spunding valve a proper clean out prior to pitching a beer yesterday, and boy was it filthy. Gave it a good soak in perc and then got the brush in whereever I could. Most of the parts are seized up tight so couldn't disassemble. If you've ever had a krausen explosion, or...

Updated to restore the arrival times, taking Thursday off the list. Also added a thing for people to commit to the combined dinner if you want so I know numbers. NOTE: ~750ml PET bottles ONLY Swapping: 1. pcqypcqy - Julebryg 2. madpierre06 - Robust Porter / Hoppy Saison...half and half. 3...

I think Bribie G is torn, any more drop outs and he's in the swap, but too many drop outs and he doesn't get to watch me eat a hat.

how long was it in the fermenter? how was it transferred? how long has it been in the keg? Hop flavour does diminish with time and how the beer is handled. What are you using for a hop sock? I use nylon stockings all the time and have never had an issue with them 'blocking', so I'd call BS...

Edit, now I've actually bothered to read the OP, I realise this was about food and had gotten hijacked! Anyway, for food, I'd recommend you sort out some solid storage that can handle some abuse (legally acquired milk crates are good for this), and then ensure you can fit these in. Make life...

Bit smaller then you're old day job ride roger? Was the cockpit photoshopped in to cover the mess we made of your paddock at the Swap?

One month to go people. If you're going to drop out, do it early to give the reserves time to organise. Been thinking about catering. My contacts have fallen through on a spit pig, at least a reasonably priced one. So I'm looking at other options. Do people really care so long as there's...

If recycled water did happen, it would need to be captured, treated and provided by the relevant water supply authority. It would then just be included in the normal water supply, so would therefore be potable. I can't imagine any one business would generate enough sewage to consider treating...

I do one drop in a grolsch bottle, but you could probably go to 1 drop in a proper tallie as others have suggested and it'd be fine. I've never had issues halving drops with a sharp knife if you want finer resolution than this but don't want to bulk prime.

You organising?

a pseudo smash, obviously.

Hi all I've been talking with @evoo4u who is able to take orders for olive oil for delivery at the swap. He is going to set up a discount code "AHB" on his website for 25% off. You can then pay online and ask for DIY pick up. Discounted prices and current availability of his 2016 stock (no...

I did a 9 month old smack pack of oktober fest lager. stepped it up in several goes, it took 3 weeks in the end, but I got it up to a proper pitch rate for a high gravity lager. I did the first two steps at mid 20's, and then the last step at 13 degrees so I could taste it and get a feel for...

Go scotty, go! Sorry you won't be making it Kegs.

If you're losing heat over the whole mash, I'd say the overall insulative effect is not enough. Maybe try wrapping the outside as well and see if this arrests the fall. I know you've said it's cool to touch, but if you work out the heat loss in joules over the surface area of the eski, I doubt...

Most people wouldn't even realise there were different varieties of hop. Among them are probably those people from the news/gumtree the other day, it's probably all generic hop to them with their garden hose and uncracked malt.
