    Hello Bridges, thats a very fair call but yes I have drunk a number of Krieks and I seriously don't like them. I was expecting a few Belgians to pop out of the calendar and when the Liefmans appeared I was very impressed with its inclusion but sadly not to be drunk by me. A good friend of mine...

    Recommended cordless drill for a grain mill & Whirlpool Paddle

    Ryobi 18v cordless & brushless bought for just this job, be careful starting, the torque could break your wrist! never had a problem with the keyless chuck and it will run super slow only problem is you cant lock the trigger (you have to hold the speed manually)

    Help me identify this beer dispensing unit

    Sorry can't help with the unit but you don't often see telex numbers listed must be 35/40 years old but if it works, you might want to check the refrigerant some if the old ones are not available. Could be worth $100 for the taps and bits but.

    Water report perth

    Hi jc24 its hard to get a meaningful water report from the WA Water Authority they tend to quote a min and a max and state the water is within its parameters. The problem with getting your water tested is the WA water is a 'shandy' of desalination bore and dam and it can have enormous variations...
