My automatic sugar dispenser is called, "whoever i invite around for bottling day", Good idea having one but you might find it just as easy to use the coopers (or other brands if they're out there) carbination drops. The missus bought me some $6 colapsable crates from the reject shop and I just...

Have some Goldings(I think) growing in front of my house, it started of not too good, got a bit hot for them and they got to thirsty. But now they're going good and the tallest vine is a 2 ro so metres tall. Just wondering when they'll start flowering and when to harvest. Cheers Aaron

Might be worth looking into using yeast slants, good way of keeping fifferent strains ready to go. Aaron

Hey Tom Lee I'm located in Melbourne and if you wanna, would deffinetly be up to showing you some areas of Melbourne where there are some great Aussie beers available, on the brewing side I'd be glad to do a small batch that you can take with you or share with mates. Cheers Aaron

Chappo mate, do you actually brew beer!!!! 13 posts a day WTF. Good on ya mate, Thanks for all your valuable answers Aaron

Glad to hear your enjoying the day CB. Me on the other hand, I go to uni monday-friday usualy leave the house at 7.45 and home for 5ish, work from 4pm until 12am saturday and from 8am till 4pm on a sunday, gotta love working in a bowling alley <_< . currently having a coffe at work and typing...

You'll be fine. Might be worth taking the fermenter out of the fridge and let it sit at room temp to bring it up to temp a bit quicker, or if you have one slap a heat strap around it and ehat it to 18 then put it in the fridge. I don't think you'll have to pitch more yeast, check for signs of...

Not sure if this applies to malt, but with any tinned goods you shouldn't store them in the can. Personally I'd transfer it to a container and slap it in the fridge or freezer, pending on when you think you're going to use it, wouldn't keep it in the fridge longer than a week and might last a...

When bottling try and keep the bottles somewhere that doesn't fluctuate much with temperature around the 20ish mark I find is best, +or- 5C is fine, I use the bottom of the pantry as the bottles are then also out of direct sunlight and the temp is somewhat constant. Leave them there for 3 or 4...

:D awesome idea!!!!!

As many of the guys here have said make sure they're dark, don't use corona bottles whatever you do. However the twist top bottles I find work fine, I cap with a bench capper and would recomend you invest in one (only about $55 tops anything over and its a rip off), compare this with its ease of...

Have done this for the past 2 or 3 years now, much to the dislike of SWMBO, should get some good growth this year Good on ya CB Aaron

Try ebay, bought a bar fridge of there that fits my 30L fermenter nicely. Not sure it youll be able to find a bar fridge to fit it though might have to opt for something a bit bigger, however you could build a insulated box to fit around the original opening of the fridge and put the door on the...

no idea but this is what got me going. Sounds like a great combo, its like nuttella but it gets you pissed Aaron

Hey Guys, Have been reading a bit into flavoured beers (especially the porter side of things) and was wondering are artificial flavors the way to go or can you add things like vanila pods or crushed hazelnuts into your boil or fermentor instead ? If so what are some of the good combos you guys...

HB79, make sure you use the wet area stuff, have heard of people using general purpose stuff and have it peel off on them. Aaron

+1 oh so true, I recently bought a bar fridge that fits a keg (and with some modifications hopefully 2) quite nicely, the thing only cost me $30. A corny keg you could probably pick up here for somewhere around $60 -70, a Regulator for gas would be $70 off of ebay and all the miscelanious bits...

yeah plenty of power there mate, I say use it and if all else fails and you need to replace it you've not lost anything. Aaron

Don't see why not, copper is a great conductor of heat (hence its use in imersion chillers) so i dont think efficeny would be any issue. How do you plan to control the temp of the circulating wort ? Aaron
