Are those EBM bottles with the yellow lid? I scored a bunch when in the maternity ward last year :) Very handy.

60 Litre Boiler probably already posted here, but this is biggest urn I've seen on the market.

I'd leave it a good few weeks to see how far down it goes - though if you're kegging at least bottle bombs wont' be an issue

That sounds like a good approach to drying out a portion then blending it back in - will keep an eye out for that one - that's an exciting collaboration!

For a first timer you've absorbed a crap ton of knowledge, wish I had that kind of reading done before I started. Anyway, I'll answer as best I can pH - I have never adjusted but if I had the ability from day one like you do, I probably would. You can, I understand, play around with perceived...

I was over IPAs, and hops in general by the end, but I still gave my vote the Moondog IPA - that was a very special brew.

That was unbelievably great! beer, food and vibe all amazing. Currently hungover like a mofo and trying to explain to my 9 month year old boy the pros and cons of lacing a beer with mussels

Have popped a request on the bulk buy thread so fingers crossed! Appreciate all the tips, thanks esp to those running the same set up as I'm considering - glad to know it's meeting expectations. Now, can I leave that ESB on the yeast cake a few more weeks to avoid having to bottle.... (rhetorical)

Oh hey, is it too late to get in on this? I'd like a couple of the 9.5 litre ones if possible. **edit - the rubber keg king $70 jobs.. - can pickup from B'Rat easy enough thanks, and fingers crossed

Yes, true and annoying, but 9 litres will fit in my fridge, full size will not. I know, get a bigger fridge, and eventually I will - at which time no doubt I'll also have some larger kegs to go with it. at this time however, I'm going the smaller ones. Brand new higher quality ones from kegking...

Advancing I must be as a home brewer since last night when faced with the prospect of cleaning, sanitising, filling and capping another 50 or more bottles, I cried to the heavens "ENOUGH!" I want kegs, I want to free my time and enable my drinking, I want what so many of you have. However...

http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/74358-bottle-priming-calculator/page-3 my latest version for syringe bottle priming in the last post - might work for you :)

Might be a **** answer, but to both 1 and 2, try and see. You'll learn more from doing the brew those four ways than any theories other brewers might have. Not that someone(s) wont have some excellent tips for you, but your goal here is to brew a beer you like to drink, and there's no substitute...

depends on your OG - anything over 1.060 i'd chuck it all in, lower, well half has worked for me many times.

maybe read the OP numbnuts, 25 Litres a bit different to 500

maybe build a stand to mount a 25litre cube with a corner at the bottom, add tap in new location, ghetto conical kinda sorta. at least itwould help tap off the yeast even if it doesn't correctly set in motion the convection currents. but I suppose it might. Stuff it,i might try that.

I've often wondered about turning an ice cream machine into a brew pot...

I don't think there's heaps of fermentables in the can - it's meant to be low abv. I make ginger beer using a plant and its dead easy... Grate ginger, steep in boiling water, filter to demijohn, repeat, add sugar to second batch, cool, add plant, wait. Can't see why you couldn't boost your...

I've used T58 numerous times and I think I am finally cured of it. The only decent dry Belgian yeast I've used was the kit yeast from a brewferm tin. That was good stuff! T58 throws loads of banana and clove and pepper when fermented too warm so keeping it lower temp 17℃ or so has worked better...

Yes I was wondering about this too - will have to do some reading to find the limits I guess. If utilization is unknown due to liquid volume it would be too much like working in the dark in term of calculating final IBUs I guess.
