ss all thread should not be expensive. I got a quote on 1/2 in BSP for $8 from a place in brisbane. they just make it up to specs in less than a day. The premade stuff must be way overpriced cause there is so little demand - go to a good tube maker place/engineering place that has the...

anyone know a supplier or manufacturer of fully staineless steel ball valve taps. I'm in brissy but any suggestions would be appreciated. It is easy to get brass taps with the stainless steel ball but otherwise i am having trouble tracking down the quality equipment. bit of research on brass -...

Worst beers - anything thats too old i have had some nice fresh carlton draughts when they were fresh but get the same thing that is 4 months older and its is foul. Totally oxidised and tangy :unsure: too many other megaswills to mention but i'm sticking up for 4xxxx. Since moving to...

And where may i ask to you find such items? I'm looking at getting a boiler and these sem the best bet

I only have bad things to say about s 04 yeast. All my brews bar one came out with very strong ester/diacetyl which didn't mellow. The only brew which came out well for me with this yeast was a stout. and i worked out that seeing it was brewing mid winter the fermenastion temp was around 15-16...

Ok I think I got this sorted out now I think for my proper mash lauter tun I will get a nice big 25-30L esky with drain hole. the only thing I'm not sure how to get is the 1/2 inch threaded pipe. My local hardware store has the taps/washers etc but the only threaded pipe they had was brass...

Was looking round for a way to attach a tap to my esky - my one doesn't have a drainage hole. :( The guy at the hardware store said there was no way you coulld attach a tap and run a mainfold off it. has to be a good seal. Has anyone tried drilling a hole in an esky? And what sort of fittings...

what is this and where do i get it

What yeast was it? I used the wlp800 whitelabs yeast and it took at least two days for any sign of activity but otherwise the yeast was fine. Its still lagering in the frdge but from early testing should come out fine. You are meant to use big starters with these yeast if you want a quick...

Anyone out there been to the Lord Nelson brewpub in sydney i took myself down there while in Sydney a week back and can highly recommend it all 5 of the ales I tasted were wonderful. really fresh and hops beuatiful anyone have anyidea ehat sort of hops/yeast they use my guess with the...

Hey guys i'm want to build a mash lauter tun - got an esky and am looking at building one of those copper lautering manifolds for the bottom. No problems with the design but whats the best way to connect the corner fittings - you shouldn't use lead solder of course - do i need an oxytorch or...

No i am not a rep from the big breweries but I do live just down the road from XXXX, the smell is wonderful but the beer.... :unsure: I like to think i've got pretty good taste buds and love my hops, the first time i smelt fresh hops was worth every other thing i've done with brewing I am...

Well... what i saying is exactly that plenty of the fabbo people out on this forum have had years of experience and i'm sure their brews are evry bit as good as they say, but... i get the feeling that the hb industry is trying push the its easy and cheep nonsense to get you hooked once...

hey folks i got a bar fridge for my lagers and have found huge variations in temperature between thw top and bottom of the fridge, up to 8.5 C from top too bottom given i'm doing lagers this is an entirely unacceptable variation which would no doubt also exist in the fermenter I have chucked...

Hi folks I just want to stir the pot a bit I rekon all that bs about brewing being easy should be dumped right now sure- getting yeast to eat malt is no big hassel when all you have to do is open the packet but making something which is pleasurable to drink and which you wouldn't feel...

thanks guys i don't have a problem with fruityness per se but if its overpowering i thought this might be a bit of a fault - i 've had problems with diacetyl and phenol from fermenting too hot - but now with the fridge that seems sorted out. i'll let it age for a month or two and it should...

my beer (pale ale) an ale brewed with safale s 04 brewed in a temp controled fridge at 19C is very fruity - smells like a mango orchard in there, anyway will this reduce with aging or is something else wrong. :(
