    Stout Carbonation (Keg)

    What does that "**** taste", taste like? The nitro doesn't have the sting of CO2, but i reckon that's more of a texture/mouth-feel thing. Next time you're heading south, PM me. I wanna know if my nitro stout has it too :D

    Stout Carbonation (Keg)

    276 kPa / 40 PSI for 36 hours is not a lot in my experience. The problem is that you're wishing the gas would dissolve into the liquid, but it's just sitting there in the cavity at the top of the keg. The idea of putting it in through the OUT post is that at least it bubbles up through the...

    melb d size owner bottle cellamix fills / changeover ?

    Um. I bought the bottle from them, so I do own it. But I can take it back and swap it (or they fill it?). But I don't know if they'll only swap bottles they've sold themselves - I can't see why they would restrict it like that. But who knows. I only got it a few weeks before xmas, so I've not...

    Whats the biggest RIMS system anyone has built themselves. Electric

    You could call an expert (like Roman Elements in VIC) to get the correct sizing on your element(s). I had a conversation with them like: Me: "I need to heat about 100 litres of water to 75C" Romar: "How quickly" Me: "Uh, let's say an hour" Romar: "Ok, an XXXX watt element will do that"...

    temp control wiring question (not an STC)

    Well I posted suggesting that he could use the controller to switch an SSR (Solid State Relay) which are rated to 40A (Jaycar ones, many others), and then switch his high-current elements with that - in a daisy-chain. But then I realised that his controller is switching (probably) 240AC, not...

    Oxygenation experiments with hydrogen peroxide

    Here here! And if you do test pure O2 in this manner, please run a "Waaay too O2" sample.

    melb d size owner bottle cellamix fills / changeover ?

    I goto speedgas in Newcastle (Bennets Green) for 70:30 mix. I'm very happy with their service. They have a bunch of dealers around the place, including some in Vic. https://www.speedgas.com.au/retail-outlet/ . But they told me 70:30 is not a high turnover gas, so I would ring to check it is...

    Huge all grain brewing collection for sale

    My condolences. Note: some of those pots have beautifully welded ports too. Easy to use and clean. No weld-less fitting turning in your hand. Surely someone is after a ready-to-run tried & trusted system ? Good luck with the sale.

    Hi! New Gluten Free member

    I've made a GF beer with brown rice syrup and dark belgian candi syrup for a family member. The recipe was way way too bitter, but the underlying flavour was quite toffee-like. I didn't mind that. Planning another batch soon. From what I understand, Australian "Gluten-Free" is a lot more...

    Hi - homebrewer moving to Australia

    If you're shipping all your gear in a container (or 1/2 container) bring it all. When we moved OS for work, Mrs Wibble decided not to bring our huge kitchen pot because she hardly ever used it. This meant I was pretty well stuffed when I first started brewing batches of ginger beer, and had to...

    Group Barley wine tasting

    I took one to the club meet last time. That smokey/smoky flavour has gone. I have a heap of these in my stash, I'll see if I can find some "LOC" ones. (they're not mine)

    I fricken L-O-V-E bubblegum in a hefeweizen. Ayinger hefeweizen on tap (to me) is bubble-gum city. Where's my drool emoji ...

    Well I never knew!

    G'day Clints Gagets, I think we can certainly help with that "brewing less" problem. Although one must run out of spare kegs & bottles ... eventually.

    Home Brewing Heros

    I started watching a youtube channel of "Big Banana Brewing", and apart from "F-IT Friday" he just makes and tastes homebrew. I can't believe I watch it, but I really enjoy it. The best bit is when he does something wrong[1] and you can yell at the TV. Somebody posted a link to one of his...

    Looking for pointers re; control box build

    What do you want the control box to do _exactly_ ? Balance wort temp based on HERMS-coil-exit temperature ? Something else? Do you want the switches to simply turn pumps on & off ? Your household "fuse box" might already be holding a bunch of circuit breakers. (If not, I would strongly...

    Beer Can Sealer.

    There's one of these type of things at "Willie The Boatman" in Sydney. I don't remember the one at Willie's spinning the can like that.

    Spunding Valve

    10PSI == 69kPa == 0.69 Bar 12PSI == 83kPa == 0.83 Bar 20PSI == 138kPa == 1.38 Bar So with the KK spundie, I could pressurise an empty keg, then attach the valve, and twiddle the knob until it slowly (over say an hour) drops back to where I want it ? Based on very limited experience, you...
