    Gumtree - Free 71 x Coopers 750ml glass bottles, Scarborough QLD

    Folks, Again I've no link to the lister - great bottles as they're thicker than most other glass longnecks that're still made - treat properly and they'll last you a lifetime. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/scarborough/miscellaneous-goods/home-brew-bottles-750ml-x-71/1282789905

    Gumtree - Forest Lake, QLD - $100 for a LOT of gear

    Folks, I've no link to this - just found while searching for some BIAB gear for myself but alas I'm way too far from this. Seller is chasing $100 for a lot of gear - loads of photos - tad scruffy but amazing value at that price...

    Keg King Conversation

    @clickeral , much thanks for a terrific and very thorough reply. Very much appreciated and I think you've tipped me over the line into grabbing one (once I figure out what else I need from KK). Really appreciate your extra thoughts on how to enhance the unit with a few add-ons - great ideas...

    Keg King Conversation

    @Keg King , congrats on your ever expanding product range and exporting success - just wondering what feedback you've had from buyers on your 'Boiling Hot Boiler Deal'? I'm looking to transition into BIAB and this seems pretty mindblowing value as an entry level starter that can be adapted into...

    Pressure Brewing Novice

    No looking to cut the OP's grass - but given I've been speaking with him on phone/email about trying to get him backing in brewing I might be able to clarify quickly: Corny's are a good idea - I had already flagged these to him as another option to PET pressure fermenters. Seems empty they...

    Pressure Brewing Novice

    I'm friends with the OP, @gthomas - have been trying to lure him back into home brewing for several yrs without luck. Alas I know little about pressure brewing myself - but it seemed that the qualities it brings might be very helpful for him. He's strictly a Kit & kilo brewer, mainly lager...

    Suggestion/Idea: 50L SS insulated pot $120 delivered

    Hi Folks, Stumbled across this 50L stainless steel pot as I searched for a vessel to assist me in transitioning from Extract to AG/BIAB - it's not suitable for my purposes (as it CANNOT be used to add heat to contents i.e put on stovetop etc) as it's a double walled, insulated pot...

    How do you clean fermenters?

    What semantics...I didn't say it, I just posted a picture and link. :rolleyes: Again as you seem to be very selective of reading...I clearly stated mix bleach with water then mix in an equal measure of vinegar. And yet you've somehow skipped over this KEY bit of info (which was hardly a...

    How do you clean fermenters?

    With all due respect did you actually read my post or simply see bleach + vinegar being mentioned and knee jerk react that mixing these together ALONE was a bad idea? I clearly stated that you mix bleach with water and THEN add an equal amount of vinegar - this simple process will NOT create...

    How do you clean fermenters?

    FWIW if you're using bleach you'll get the best from it if you 'acidify' the bleach+water mix by adding the same volume of white vinegar as you did bleach. Bleach by itself is so-so as a cleaner/bug killer but when acidified it's much more effective so you can actually use significantly less of...

    FYI: Dan Murphy's Coopers Discovery Workshops

    Hi Folks, Not sure if this was the best area to post this but suffice to say Mods please feel free to move if I've guffed up. As a member of the 'My Dan Murphy's' marketing thingo I noticed that they've just put tickets on sale for a Coopers Discovery Workshop, which they're running at most of...

    Kim Chi

    I did a decent sized batch of this a few weeks ago - quasi-blended a couple of different recipes (used this one as the main one). Used 2 large wombok cabbages, chopped the leaves into inch long chunks rather than whole, used a tad less garlic and also dried shrimp paste rather than preserved...

    Easy water filter

    Much thanks to the OP for this thread. I bought these inline filters (currently 5 for ~$34 delivered). They come with 2 x 1/4 BSP plastic connectors so you can rig them up very cheaply, easily & effectively as follows: - use section of normal 'garden' hose (I used food grade hose but little...

    Terrorist Killings in Paris

    It's a very complex but at the same time very simple subject area - in short, ISIL are just the latest in a very long line of organisations humans have formed to perpetrate horrendous acts upon other humans. And alas if history has shown us something about such oriented organisations religion...

    Monosodium Glutamate Thread

    I agree completely, when used PROPERLY MSG is an invaluable addition to most folks kitchen pantry. Alas like much of the western world we've adopted a bit of a 'sheep herd' mentality with people swearing off it like it's asbestos or nuclear waste (though the same folks likely end up unwittingly...

    Sorry for another STC thread - want to make sure I understand this

    FWIW from a complete newbie (both to anything to do with electrical wiring & homebrewing) this thread and in particular the wiring diagram in post #1 was very handy to getting my STC-1000 all wired up and working perfectly! The diagram does differ slightly from several others in both the STC in...
