    Since this question comes up regularly, I thought I'd start an ongoing thread to show off your beer consuming areas. This is mine. The bar I picked up next door to my father in law. It was quite rough when I got it, and needed a HEAP of sanding. Stained it with some cabbotts jarrah stain and...

    Gas or electric

    Its one of those things. Horses for courses. I went gas as it was the only way i could go double batch as i rent which basically means no dedicated circuits will be going in. If i was to start out again id find it very hard to go past a concealed element urn, bag and temp controller for some...

    Double batch braumeister clone design

    The 100L pot is still listed on the CB website, id say they have just run out of stock for now. Ive got one of those, and glad i went the 100L over the 80. Plenty of head room for boiling and can do full volume double biab in it. Great pots for the price, highly recommend Edit, sorry half...

    Going to get a plate chiller

    Hey all, After brewing at a local craft brewery over the weekend, and increasingly becoming disappointed with the repeatability of my ipas and pales, i think it's time i reserved my no chill cubes for regular house brews, and just focus on knocking out single batch ipas and pales and start...

    Rant tesuco regulator

    Kicking myself for not going the micromatic. Might be my next purchase. This thing isn't going to last long before i throw it at the wall. I would advise anyone not to buy one of these they are the worst

    Rant tesuco regulator

    This thing is the biggest piece of **** I've bought in a long time. I mean, this thing is even more useless than the $40 chinese ebay special i was running. Brand new and won't hold a stable pressure let alone display the right reading. Had a kk mk2 reg before this one and it was half the price...

    Fermenting on grain

    The only thing i can think of, is alot of scotch distilleries use a percentage of malt that has been smoked in peat moss. Perhaps fermenting on the grain helps further extract certain flavour compounds that are not accessible when the wort is pumped off the grains to the fermenter

    help me gas my beer ploise - like, in the next hour, like emergency

    That's why I've got 2 sodastream bottles sitting next to the keg fridge, in case my 2.6kg runs out

    looking to move forward

    Google nickjd all grain 30 bucks. I would read this and maybe have a crack at that to see if its for you before taking the plunge. Personally i would not bother doing partials. I did maybe two then realised moving to all grain was what i was after

    brand new 48L urn for $120 - too good to be true (or good)?

    Not always. There are 3 types of stainless, austenetic, ferritic and martensitic stainless, this is where your grades come into it. The composition of the stainless alloy determines the mechanical properties of the metal. Austenitic is what you are after if you want top corrosion resistance...

    Cheap and cheerful beer line cleaner

    Some aren't able to drink all that much due to work commitments. Due to my roster I'm pretty much limited to pouring a few beers on days off only (thanks 0 tolerance drug and alcohol testing). Nothing for a keg to last me a month sometimes more
