Sounds like its certainly worth trying. Anyone know if its widely available; ie all Dan Murphy's, Woolworths etc? Cheers Scott

Quintrex, You can also get them from Stainless tanks and pressure vessels in Ferntree Gully. Link Scott

Great thread newguy. Thanks very much for taking the time to write it up. :beerbang: Hope you're over the food poisoning. Cheers Scott

Junkz, Yep just measure them out on your foil or a small bowl, saucer, whatever. It doesn't matter. Re the freezer - Yes, always keep them in the freezer, sealed in a zip lock bag or similar. Cheers Scott

Thanks Fents, Yeah, buying 2 was the simplest and most cost effective :o way of achieving what I wanted. Scott

Thanks guys. Pretty happy with the whole thing. Just need to find enough time to keep the beer flowing. Siborg, I don't leave the gas connected. I've got a fridge downstairs that hold 3 kegs and I carbonate them down there. Again, gas is not continously connected, just topped up to achieve...

G'day dougy, Certainly is possible. Font only sits around 50mm above fridge top. No pouring issues either. Scott

Sounds good. I only used Tas Oak because its what I had left over. If I was buying the timber specially I would choose a hard timber, like Jarrah, or one of the lighter ones like blackbutt, spotted gum etc. Lots of different ways and combinations. Good luck with it. Scott

Sorry, if you meant on the outside, then no. Just used wood glue and screwed to hold in place while the glue dried.

No, being floorboards they are tongue and groove, so no biscuits required. If you end up using something other than floorboards then you will need to use biscuits. Personally, I'd go and have a look at proper timber merchants than Bunnings. You'll get a much greater choice and the quality will...

G'day cd, The bench top is made of Tasmanian Oak flooring that was left over after I did the floor. From memory its 19mm thick. Across the front and down the side there is an extra length glued to the under side of the top. The finish I used on it, after lots and lots of sanding, was Cabots...

This should work. Link There you go, I'm getting much better at this computer thingy stuff. :rolleyes: Scott

Photos in the kegging setups thread. Bit hard to see the detail but hopefully gives an idea. Hoping this link works. Scott Edit - Link didn't work and I've gotta go. Photos on page 40 in above thread. Post 788 Sorry

Yes. Our newish kitchen has Ceasarstone benchtops and they're done the same way. When I built my bar I used some left over floor boards and did the same thing. A bit of fiddling around but if done properly can look really good. And much cheaper than 40-45mm thick boards; and lighter. Scott

G'day cdbrown, Re the bench tops, personally I prefer the look of a thickness of around 40mm. It gives it a thicker, chunkier look. A single thickness floorboard would look a little thin. Cheers Scott

husky, You could try Dave at Greensborough Home Brewing - 9432 0283. Its listed on his website. Not sure how up to date it is though. Cheers Scott

Which size hop pellet do you want him to weigh Fents? A small one, medium, large or one the really big ones? :P Scott

Congratulations Steve! All the very best to you and your family. I was already planning on a few beers tonight. More than one will now be drunk in honour of your newly extended family. :beer: Congrats again. Scott :icon_cheers:

I found using both forms of extract resulted in a beer that was too cloying / sweet for my tastes; even subbing some for dextrose. It was one of the reasons I started AG. Scott

That was the problem with all my extract brews. I also didn't notice any difference between dry or liquid extract. I used to sub some of the malt for dextrose to dry it out. This helped a lot but still found my beers a little sweet/cloying. Scott
