    Oettinger - Bad Batch?

    A skunk like flavour is most common if the bottle was exposed to sunlight for some time. Unless you use some special isomerized hops it is very easy for a bottle to become sunstruck. The clear bottles are the worst (which is why Carlton Cold and other beers from these bottles use specialized...

    Ss Pot

    I couldn't find them last time either. Beerbelly still had them on offer last time I looked and they were only a few $$$'s dearer than Allequip if you don't live in NSW and can pickup the pot.

    Ss Pot

    Yes, the guy lists these via Ebay as well. I have had two of them, both of which were sent back as one was manufactured so badly you could see the pinholes. The other started rusting when just having water in the pot for 1 hour to see if it leaks as well. He has recently sent a member here an...

    Ebay - Handyimports Stockpots

    It might be worhthwhile to add that I only had plain water in my second pot and the next day it developed spots of rust even though I emptied out the water after my "leak test". Also I noticed someone suspecting harsh chemicals causing the spots of rust - There were NO chemicals involved as I...

    50l Stainless Stock Pot

    It all comes down to what quality you are after. There are lots of cheap large stainless pots in Indian & Chinese supply stores as well as Ebay. Unfortunately they vary in quality from acceptable all the way to rusting & leaking. I bought a couple of large pots via Ebay and one was fabricated so...

    Kegerator Temp

    The first question I would ask is - Was it cooler than 18 degrees C around the fridge? Fridges don't heat, so while you might have a setting at 21 degrees, it has no way of heating unless you install something which generates heats when required. The temperature setting for a fridge are really...

    German Ebay Ordering Kegs

    The link you are looking for to ask a question is at the bottom and it opens up the dialogue if you click on: Frage stellen I have purchased 4 kegs from him as well which arrived within 3 weeks. They were about $85 per keg delivered. At the time, he mentioned to me that he was thinking of no...

    Yob, Thanks for arranging this - I haven't had the opportunity to sneak this past SWMBO, so it is still in the boot. Thanks Roller

    Ebay - Handyimports Stockpots

    I figured I would pay extra for a stainless steel pot which was manufactured properly and won't rust in the future. Since mine rusted, I sent them back, so I can't comment on how they are holding up. I would suggest that my "better" pot would have had significant issues standing up to wort...

    Dedicated Herms Guide, Problems And Solution Thread

    Are you looking to batch sparge? I would have my HLT directly going to the MLT so that you can feed the MLT with sparge water while going out to the kettle. With your configuration you will need to empty the HLT into the MLT (assuming it is big enough to host the hotliquor and grist) or you...

    Ssr Advice Please

    TB, There is no practical disadvantage to using a 40Amp SSR instead of a 10Amp SSR. I have gone the same way to control 9 Amp elements. In the past there was a pricing difference between the higher rated SSR's and the lower rated ones but these days with all these items being produced so cheaply...

    Melbourne/vic Grain Bulk Buy (august '11)

    Wolfy, Thank you for organizing this bulk buy - It was very well organized. Enjoy the beers - The BA is a Brown Ale with fresh cascade hops grown at my folks place (only bottled 2 weeks ago) and the DV is a Duvel clone which is quite tasty. The RIS has its own label so hopefully you will like...

    Clear Beer

    Just a quick comment in relation to the two photos. Nick JD - Very clear looking beer. The palm comes up nicely but the edges of the palm fronds do look a touch out of focus so that might be due to the photography. ThirstyBoy - It might just be the photography, however due to the extra detail...

    Mill Motors

    I would suggest that running a 6 Amp charger to power a motor which is stated to require 16 Amp is your issue. Best case, the circuitry inside your charger limits the current and cuts off power to the motor if it tries to draw more than 6 Amp (hence it stops if it hits the built in limit)...

    Mill Motors

    I found the motor (which I ordered) but I could not find the controller on the specials section. A combined package might be ideal. As per my message, please give me a call to get the controller added to the order. Thanks Roland

    Need Help Modifying A Dual Font To A Keg King

    Sean, I have one of these Keg King units and was faced with a similar issue. I have a curved front on my kegerator so I assume it is similar to mine. My single font had a plastic adapter attached to the font tower which was attached with 3 bolts. I took the adaptor off and I had to resolve...

    Flakes In Wyeast Packet - Still Viable?

    Mayor, Thanks for that - Awesome news - I have not ever had a Yeast that had such sizeable lumps in it but it, hence the question. I had heaps of issues with the Ringwood Ale in the past which seemed to have stopped after less than 2 weeks (single activator packet made into healthy starter to...
