As long as I can't tell the different I'm not bothered. Camra do a good job, but get a bit over zealous in my opinion.

Yeah, just to get co2 in as a cask breather type deal.

Sorry - i meant if I was going to convert a cube. I only have one keg, so was expecting to have to spend a few hundred dollars. If I can make a cube cap I can expand my capacity massively for not so much money.

I guess I'd just need a couple of these; http://kegking.com.au/co2-cylinders/ball-lock-post-with-1-4-inch-bulkhead-assembly-gas.html

Just found this;http://craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=4382 Cask Widge Float - Red 9-11g. Fantastic little float device that we use in our casks for our handpumped ales at Bacchus Brewery. The plastic float with SS mesh will draw beer from just under the surface of the liquid. So it...

SO do you have a dip tube going down to the bottom? I thought of using a cube, but I was considering using a tap at the bottom - this seems like a better idea. If I could find the right cube maybe I could get gas in and beer out posts...

Update; After lots of testing:D it would appear that the problem I have with beer is NOT from preservatives in the main. I now beleive I have two sensitivities, the biggest is to preservatives, but once I removed them from my diet I found another smaller one which I think is histamines, either...

I've been using collapsible bags with either gravity pour or ghetto beer engine, but after the last two leaked (half lost batch from infection, and lots of mess), I'm giving up on them. At some point I'll rig up a beer engine to a keg via LPG reg, but for now I want to get as close to...

So add the hops after filling the cube and no issues at all? Just tried that, but not side by side do no way to prove anything.

I was reading another thread about cube hopping and hop tea which seems like a way people cover up for the loss of flavour/aroma from no chilling, when I wondered if hop oils are driven off when cube hopping, where do they go? There's not much head space in cube, and even if they did all go in...

Academic really, but I was wondering what AG method would be the best assuming an unlimited budget, and limited time.

I just used one's I got for refilling printer cartridges, unused of course. Not sure once they run out, maybe a chemist? All I do is fill my glass and suck up beer and squirt it back in a few times. About three goes will give you that nice settling effect of a hand pulled pint. Don't do it...

I've been using collapsible water containers with a water pump. Given up for now a the heat in the garage over summer was leading to hot beer, and mold. I'm using the bags with gravity feed now, and a syringe to get the hand pump effect, which definitely works. I read that Guinness used to sell...

Guys, thanks very much for all the above. I'm at the point where I'm collecting information about products that cause an effect with me, and then trying to isolate the actual chemical. Beer is the first one, as I was pretty worried I'd have to stop drinking it. For the last couple of weeks...

Thanks for that. Regarding addulterants in beer, check this out; https://www.brewsnews.com.au/2012/06/short-history-of-brewing-additives-in-australia/ ANZ allowable additives are (my changes in italics.); Under Standard 1.3.1 – Food Additives the following additives are permitted in beer...

Symptoms; Extreme triedness, lethagy, depression - similar to chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms. Happens within 1 hour of consuming certain foods/drinks, and lasts about 8 hours, making work pretty much impossible. It's been happening certainly since I was at school, and I'm only just figuring...

I've recently found that I have a sulphite sensitivity, and I've been testing different drinks to find what affects me. The last two brews I did affected me (and probably all the others too), so home brew appears to be a problem. I had Heineken last week and that definitely has sulphites in (...

I want to improve my fermentation techniques and specifically temperature I mostly brew English biiters - eg Black Sheep ale, and English Golden Ales, eg Exmoor Gold, and use West Yorkshire 1469 yeast exclusively right now. I have been brewing around 21c for everything and increasing to...
