Brewmart in Bayswater often do brewdays on Saturdays. They did a side by side brew with Robobrew and Guten a while back.

I take a 19L keg camping. I have an ice box that fits the keg and a couple of bags of ice and a 400g gas bottle with reg perfectly. I then run a picnic tap out the drain hole of the ice box and stand it on its end with the drain hole pointing up. Its effectively a retractable beer tap and works...

None of these machines can control anything. You are in control. You can set timers etc but its still you that control it. If you don't like it you can still just switch them on and off manually. We aren't talking about a Brewie here.

Not all of them have to, as long as the bigger ones do in each state then people have options. The bread and butter of most stores is consumables, hops, grain, yeast etc. BIAB is fine, but it can be a hassle to set up a machine that is as effective as the off the shelf systems. Some people...

Cant speak for other brewers, but there are some challenges in pressure fermenting which may turn some people away. If the yeast is slow then up the temp. The higher pressure means you can use a higher temp without the increase in ester production. I have been trialling adding dry hops when I...

I bought mine from Brewmart in Perth, so there are HBS stocking them. Pretty much all the shops that use KK as a distro will stock them, it either that or move to using KL as a distro to get hold of the Robobrew again. If you buy it from KK then they are the retailer. Place of purchase =...

This isn't actually true. In Australia it is the retailer that is responsible for warranty. As a consumer you only need to return the goods to the retailer and if the then the retailer has the option to return it to the manufacturer at their expense, or have the goods repaired, replace the goods...

I let it free rise to 1bar and hold it there. If I want the beer fully carbonated at terminal gravity I'll adjust it with a few points to go to about 1.5bar and let it finish there. You can then chill and package and its ready to serve. Anything over 2bar and you are risking damaging the yeast.

They are just pellets from Yakima Valley. They are going to a lot of trouble for $12 GST.

I have order from them before without issue but I guess that doesn't really mean much, its a lottery when ever you import anything. I can live with them holding up a package, I understand they do an important job. If they have damaged my hops I will be livid though.

They are in Melbourne. Pretty sure they only chase for GST on packages worth over $1K. Under $1K they rely on the seller being registered for GST so I think its only bigger well known international retailers that have been made to register and pay. I could be wrong though. Cigars would be...

Hi guys. I ordered 4lb of hops from Yakima on the 26/9/18. After realising they hadn't' arrived in ages I tracked the shipping and discovered they have been with customs since the 3/10/18. I haven't received any communication from customs. What do I do? I can't find any way to contact them...

You can get a 4 pack of full 200ml piccolos from dans for about $13. If the missus likes sparkling, start buying them for her, from the bottom of your heart, and keep the bottles.

The only downside of Aluminium is thats its soft and wears out faster.

I used one in a hobobrew before upgrading to a Guten. I now use it to heat sparge water. I did scorch the wort once when heating while mashing. This was due to lack of circulation though. No issue during boil. There is enough natural circulation due to convection during boil to avoid...

If I use ~1L per batch it should be up to 100 batches I would say.

Tradeflame bottles use an M10 thread. I use a reg like this one, no issues after a couple of dozen batches. The gauge reads in L/min which is handy, although the scale could be better. I usually set it for a bit under 1.5L/min for around 60 seconds. EDIT sorry, forgot link...

Yeah they were used for post mix by Coke and Pepsi before they introduced the machines that combine the syrup/water/gas on the fly. They are imported from the US by the container load. Coke used pin locks Pepsi used ball locks These older second hand ones, despite their age are usually US made...

If KK are starting to stock them then there is good chance they will filter down to LHBS who use them as a distro, no pun intended.

yes please!
