Techni-Ice. They seem to come up a lot on grays online. (also on sale at techniice.com.au till 11th Jan) No point paying more for one than is absolutely necessary. :D

I recently got an 80L one, with a similar idea in mind. I'm pretty sure they're food grade plastic.

Anyone fancy working in a brewery? I'm tempted (oh, so very tempted ) to apply, but it would mean moving to New Zealand. (and I just don't like sheep that much :P ) http://www.seek.com.au/users/apply/index.a...p;JobID=8367596

from what I can recall, Cu is OK to use in HLT/boiler - some Cu will be picked up, and can help the yeast a little as a micronutrient. Fermenting in Copper however, as the wert is acidic it will dissolve higher levels of copper into solution which can be toxic to the yeasties, and (if present...

Perhaps you're thinking of ammonia + iodine? Produces ammonia tri-iodite. Can explode just from looking at it the wrong way. Best avoided.

Hey, Came across instructions for a jerky drier made from milk crates: http://www.instructables.com/id/ESTVDBSTREEP287ZT7/?ALLSTEPS On a side note, anyone know of plans/photos for making a gas powered smoker from a keg?

Asked coopers customer service: >No mate, the yeast sachets supplied with Coopers International, Thomas >Coopers Brewmaster (including Wheat Beer) and Thomas Coopers Premium >Selection Series all have yeasts specifically tailored and matched to >each individual brew. Coopers Original Series...

there is not much on the packet. There is a production code: 283 5 W Don't know if the W is the line it's made on, or for wheat...

Oddly enough, I already had loose plans to be there. :D

Hi. I have a stash od packets from coopers kits sitting in the cupboard. The ones that came with the wheat beer kits have the yeast packed differently to the other ale kits I've bought. (white sachets, vs. golden sachets for the others) Anyone know if it is in fact a wheat yeast, or just...

...never been there of course, that's what I heard. I never came from the western suburbs..... :)

You Lucky. Lucky *******. ;) Germany is the home of good beer! how did you work your way into that?

I came across Moo Brew quite by accident last time I was in Tassie... (Was looking for stuff I'd never tried b4 in the local bottle shop) Tried the Wheat beer. Liked it. Even kept the yeast dregs in case I wanted to make some. (Anyone know if it's viable?) Didn't think it was...

Interestingly, I have not shared your experience with the brewers den. Altho i suspect the bloke is just used to giving K&K advice - got told off for wanting to put malt in ginger beer (a no-no apparently), and hops can't be used anywhere exept in the boil... :blink: Make the trip over to...

I think it might have something to do with the extra sugars and caramels etc (larger stickier ones that give the flavour colour to dark beers) in the wort giving it an extra 'foaminess / foamabilitty' (for the lack of a better word) :P

Hmmm... <_< But isn't an Aluminium bottle a lot like an, ummm.... Aluminium can? :blink: Other than the different shape for the 'cool' crowd, I'm not sure I see an advantage.

Hi. Here's a picture of the insides. I suppose it was a commercial chiller - it was one where the bottle sat on top, and you dispensed chilled water through a tap in the front. Not having a fridge suitable, and being too cheap to buy one, I picked up the chiller from a mate who didn't want...

Having just figured out how to add a picture to a post, (god I'm thick sometimes! :rolleyes: ) here's my setup.. (pretty modest compared to many on here) :beerbang: I very nearly had a free fridge to turn into a kegerator earlier this year, but it managed to crap itself when it saw me...

It's pretty cool. How's it rigged up inside GL? Got gas? Ice?
