    BULK BUY - Vittle Vault 27kg Grain Storage Containers

    Agree on the shipping. Looks like we're only 210 units away from a minimum order though 😂

    BULK BUY - Vittle Vault 27kg Grain Storage Containers

    They do have smaller sizes, and it's something we could explore, but let's see what kind of interest we have first. I wanted to keep it relatively simple considering the potential size of the exercise, but agree that the half size would be useful. I was just planning to have the 4 full size for...

    BULK BUY - Vittle Vault 27kg Grain Storage Containers

    What do you mean other areas? By the way I think $40 per unit is going to be nearly impossible. If the standard unit price is about $37.50, and then we need to potentially factor in container shipping + import taxes and duties (and any additional costs there like dock holding fees) + national...

    BULK BUY - Vittle Vault 27kg Grain Storage Containers

    Hi everyone, We're trying to find a house to buy here in Sunny Brisbane and whatever we decide on, I'm going to build myself a nice little brewery either in the undercroft or in an outdoor shed. For that reason, I've been looking at better options than my current old steel juice transport...

    Lallemand NEIPA Yeast

    Will be interested to hear/see how yours floccs. My week old sample is basically crystal clear (considering the grain bill) which is astonishing.

    Lallemand NEIPA Yeast

    To be fair, I didn't take a hydro sample until day 5, so it may well have reached 1.013 in 3 or so days as well. Lallemand do state on their site that this strain takes a little longer to attenuate, and that they generally see ferments stop on day 7+. Don't forget that you should try and remove...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    April??? Your inline regulators are basically useless without this (if it works the way you say it will). The worst piece of kit in my entire setup, but what should I expect for $13........... Why don't you just release a batch and indicate that a v2 with better battery life is to be released...

    Blonde Ale with Kveik yeast - which strain is best?

    I've got an old vial of Opshaug on the stir plate as we speak in a 2.5L starter. See if it kicks off, then I'll step it up once more. Going to try a brut cream ale with it. Mash in at 60c with ultraferm for 1.5 hours, 30min at 66c, Simcoe to 20 IBU, pitch at ~30c and let free fall to 24c (just...

    Lallemand NEIPA Yeast

    I have just used it for the first time, currently day 9 of ferment and have just finished a diacetyl rest. I found it super fast to kick off (full krausen within 12 hours), but it slowed down around 3 days. At day 5 I had about 74% attenuation (1.053 down to 1.013), and bumped the temp up 2...

    The old keg foams as the beer disappears trick

    I definitely agree with this. I started out with flow control perlicks, and when I bought a bigger freezer to increase capacity, I opted to add cheap ultrataps for the additional, with no flow control. Using PSI charts and beer line calculators, I worked out the correct line length for all of my...

    Your experience with PET Pressure Fermenters - Open Discussion - feedback invited

    Is there another way to incorporate different plastics with PET? e.g. if there is a better material, can it all be moulded together so that it is one piece with a tri-clover on the bottom? I totally agree with Soreba, I think one piece with the tri-clover would be a dream. How much will the...

    Your experience with PET Pressure Fermenters - Open Discussion - feedback invited

    To this point, and I admit I have never used the equivalent Keg King product, but one of the faults with my fermzilla was stress marks all around the lid mouth after less than 10 batches (closer to 5). And like I said in my post, I never used in excess of 10psi for any part of the process. Not...

    Your experience with PET Pressure Fermenters - Open Discussion - feedback invited

    I think the biggest issue I have with pressure tanks is what it has done to the homebrew scene - you join any homebrew facebook group and it is just full of people asking questions about how they can brew beers at the max psi ratings for the tanks. It's ridiculous. I would personally prefer a...

    Grand Deluxe 125 GD125

    I think all this back and forth is total ********, but I really think Keg King comes out on top as coming across more genuine in their responses, and I feel sorry for them coming across as squabbling when for the vast majority of the time, it seems they are just having to defend themselves from...

    BRIS: 3 x Perlick 650SS Taps, Shanks and Fittings

    Hi all, I posted this in my malfunctioning Keezer thread as well (which has gone), but figured I should post separately, as I am now definitely keen to replace with cheaper taps (but will set my new keezer up with 6 taps instead of 3). Asking for $300, and not really negotiable. Will include...

    BRIS - 3 tap keezer (malfunctioning)

    LAST CHANCE! I have purchased a new freezer and the old one will be taken away tomorrow unless someone wants it. Happy for someone to take it for free if they are willing to pick up in the morning. Still cooling to about 6 degrees and stopping there. I will also list the taps separately if...

    BRIS - 3 tap keezer (malfunctioning)

    Hi All, I would hate for this to go to waste, so I thought I'd chuck it up here for in case someone is handy enough to work out the issue. I have a 205L whirlpool chest freezer, fully setup and ready to go as a keezer (lots of time spent on this - I love it). It is currently working, but far...

    Fermzilla

    I've done 5 batches in my fermzilla and while I haven't had any of the issues with it not sealing or anything like that, I've just sold it to move back to something more simple until I can get some unitanks. The collection container is an absolute pain in the ***. I am a convert to pressure...

    Sanitiser in brew, is it ruined?

    Back in my early days, I may or may not have rehydrated US-05 with starsan, because the packet said sterilised water..... The batch was fine.
