The problem wasn’t necessarily that there was gas in the sample (I can quite easily get that out), the problem was that when I pulled the sample I was getting all foam and no liquid, which eventually overflowed when I was trying to pull enough liquid for the hydrometer you float (I use a 250ml...

How are most people taking gravity samples with the fermzilla? Have just put the first batch through my fermzilla and I used my picnic tap connected to the liquid ball lock, but it was messy as hell because of all the foam (only fermenting on 5psi too). I am going to try taking the sample from...

Not unless you can get someone to help you - all pick ups from Hoppy Days.

I have 3 development item requests for the fermzilla: 1. Closed boil kettle transfer kit. Some kind of ball lock post adapter that allows you to connect a standard silicon hosing size (or have sizing options) 2. Inline oxygenation kit, or carb stone adaptor that allows you to oxygenate wort and...

I haven’t put it up mate as I am not a member, but feel free to cross post it. We are still 12.5 short currently, but I may have an offline addition of 2 bags.

Thanks mate. Steve has just suggested we post on Aussie craft brewer too. Anyone a member over there and want to follow that up? We're at 7.5 bags, only 12.5 to go....

Thanks Mick! Just a reminder for anyone who is on the fence, we need a minimum order of 20 bags to reach the bulk buy pricing.

Hi everyone, As discussed in the previous bulk buy thread, we're going to organise another one through hoppy days. Steve has provided the updated list of malts and prices, which can be found here: https://hoppydaysbrewingsupplies.com.au/wp-content/uploads/grain.bulk_.buys_.FEB20.pdf I am...

Just spoke to Steve at Hoppy Days and they're in the middle of switching suppliers on a few of their grains, and will be updating prices to match. He'll send me through the new bulk buy prices and rules in a few weeks when it's ready, so sit tight and we'll get it organised.

Anyone want to run it? I am happy to support, but don't have time to fully coordinate it. Would also be happy to help pick up the grain for others on a weekend at the end.

Is it time for another one boys?

So you just add water, yeast and let it go? Is the idea that it carbonates in the bag as well so it’s ready to serve at the end of fermentation? What’s actually inside the bag?

Fair call. Anyone interested in that, I’m all ears.

I thought the above was all pretty harsh, but I've been trawling their site for a solid month now and all of the "not available until" and "out of stock" notes are starting to really **** me. None of the grain sacks (gladfield base malts to be exact) have been in stock, ever. How hard is it to...

This is a weird one...... I currently live overseas without any of my brew gear, so haven't brewed in about 18 months. I will be home from the 31st March to the 20th April and while that isn't enough time to get my stuff out of storage and have a crack, I am keen to grab a keg for while I'm...

$2k for all that? Someone jump!

I couldn't find an exact answer when searching - has anyone replaced the silicone hose on their wort chiller? I'd be interested to know what ID the hose has. Also, has anyone used the GF pump to fill a conical fermenter through the bottom dump port? Is it strong enough to do so, or will it back...

wowser, that is crazy.

Surely not? 35psi seems very high for the fermentasaurus... Even the SS Unitanks are only rated for 30psi operating (tested to 60psi).

hey mate, did you sort this out? I had Beersmith 2 on my Apple desktop which was dialled in to match the grainfather app mash and sparge calculators. I'm currently living overseas but getting ready to move home and start brewing again, so I downloaded the beersmith iOS app. The grainfather...
