    Blowoff Suck Back

    I recall doing CPR (first aid training) and there were a number of 'one way valve" contraptions allowing air to move only one way. https://www.cpr-savers.com/Ambu-One-Way-Valve-with-Filter-for-Res-Cue-CPR-Mask_p_7789.html...

    Using Tank Safe as a sanitizer?

    Hi Guys, just following up on this. After receiving an incomplete SDS from the company - they responded to my query by saying yes, silver nitrate was also present, but did not not go on to provide a full list of ingredients. On that basis, ... I'd give it a miss.

    Whats In The Glass

    ^damn that's a nice looking beer Tapped the 1 hour micro biab this arvo (golden promise and motueka). 1 week in the keg. I think I need some of that biofine... still, not a bad drop.

    Gladfields roast wheat as base malt

    ^never stuffed up anything mhb? dilute it down and do something with it I reckon. A bit of sugar and water will not cost you much. What's to lose? If it's crap toss it out, if it's drinkable - drink it and be merry.

    Gladfields roast wheat as base malt

    Dissolve the sugar in some water before you add it, it should dilute things down a little. And/Or. If you have two fermenters (a big W pot is what I use and perfectly fine), split the batch in two and add half the sugar to each (dissolved maybe in 5L water for each). That will bring it down a...

    Gladfields roast wheat as base malt

    Throw in some sugar? Half a kilo maybe and see if the yeasties come to life... worth a try, sugar is cheap.

    AB Inbev buys 4 Pines

    Another one bites the dust... I tried their Stout, but wasn't really a fan. Perhaps AB will improve it. Others seem to like their beers though, hence the takeover.

    2018 Stout/porter brewing

    Base malt + roast barley 10 - 15% and you can't go too wrong. Nottingham yeast works well, keep the temps down though. If it gets hot it throws out paint stripper.

    Tropical White IPA (NZ)

    bit heavy duty for me cheeser! I've just tried Motueka and I like it. Riwaka was a little "passion fruity" for my taste. good luck with it.

    2018 Stout/porter brewing

    Good question ! .. Musing the same thing myself. It depends on the recipe quite a bit I think .. some age better than others. I nearly threw a couple early ones out (they were pretty bad) but then 12 months later they turned out nice. Another couple tasted good at the start but then lost...

    Will upgrading my brew pot improve my beers?

    What was that book by Lance Armstrong? "It's Not about the Bike" ? edit: except that Lance had a very flash bike, and drugs. Sorry I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.

    Using Tank Safe as a sanitizer?

    ^Yes, that report looks sound. Apologies I was speaking generally. By the by, I acquired an SDS for tank safe .. in which hydrogen peroxide (only) was listed. Silver nitrate (or anything else) was not listed in the SDS. I sent a query .. .

    Using Tank Safe as a sanitizer?

    The term "up to" is a bugbear of mine in reports etc. e.g. Product X improved factor Z "up to" YY percent . .. .what does that mean exactly? YY percent when, for how long, under what conditions? What happened for the rest of the time? "by around" - is somewhat of an improvement.

    Using Tank Safe as a sanitizer?

    Agreed, doubt there's anything else it's probably just sterilised water (filtered/ autoclaved/ irradiated/ pastuerised - whatever) + actives. But .. wouldn't hurt to ask if there are any inactive ingredients not listed. For peace of mind.

    Using Tank Safe as a sanitizer?

    Maybe just check if there are any other ingredients besides the active ones listed. You may like to know if there's anything else in there...

    FS - 6x Rheem/Mytton Rodd Kegs - NSW

    Awesome ! Good job. I was hoping I didn't give you a dud steer. I'm currently doing the same with the Amicon keg I picked up, although the threads are a bit weirder, 1/8 NPT (American national pipe thread), so the adapter has been a bit harder to locate. Have ordered parts hopefully will...

    2018 Hop Plantations

    Just following up on this. I made inquiries, - there's an Aussie lab that has permit to import plant DNA, and can do the comparison at their lab. Costs are prohibitively high - 2 grand AUS. . . . (having said that, they can run up to 48 samples for that price). Would indeed be interesting...
