Hi BigAl Have a look at Marty's site. There was another thread on here recently about the DS1820 sensors. the rrdtool software is free and works on either Linux or Windows. The pic shows the temperature of our chilled water tank, but I have others sensing the air temperature, HLT, fermenters...

Just to make it easier for everyone 1. You can buy the serial interfaces already made up for the DS1820's (and other 1 wire devices). They are expensive to get shipped unless you want a few of them (bulk buy!) 2. The digitemp software is available that will read the DS1820's for you. 3. You can...

Hi boots Have spoken to the owner about that - I think we might come to some arrangement. If we can, then we shall call an AHB meeting there and be able to sample both. You never know, he might take the light too! Pedro

Will be done tomorrow, OK !! I should have told them that a bucket was more your style :P Not bloody likely ! I have sad news if anyone wants a Pils from there tonight, they ran out on the weekend :angry: . Thanks to all those that assisted in emptying the first keg there. Stocks will be...

yes, yes, I know. Someone was supposed to get it to me last week and again today and I still don't have it :(

Hi Voosher It is close to Anstey St on the northern side between King William St and Topham Mall. Cheers Pedro

Ross Have a look at my previous post (and also Zwickel's and sqyre's) in this thread - the ATC is not correcting the sample temperature and we have found you must cool the sample to get an accurate reading Pedro

The light wavelengths from a globe won't cause light struck beer in the time it takes to ferment, though I think fluros do. Cheers Pedro

We have had erroneous readings in the brewery using a refractometer. I think the ATC refers to correction for the ambient temperature, not the wort sample. We find the safest and most accurate way is to cool the sample and then measure. Cheers Pedro

Might have to organise an AHB get together there as they have a few goat beers in the fridge as well. Cheers Pedro

Thanks all, Wasn't working in the brewery which means I haven't had a beer yet (real soon now). Off out for a bite and a drink or 2. Cheers Pedro

More good news for those in Adelaide. The FAD bar on Waymouth St in Adelaide now has the Fish Tale Pilsner on tap. Geoff is serving the pils and also another microbrewery beer (can't remember what it was : :angry: ) Cheers Pedro

Hi Josh I have noticed that the wit beers I have done with a larger percentage of raw wheat seem to be dryer and tarter than those that use more torrefied / wheat malt. My efficiency drops to buggery as well when I use raw wheat. One thing mentioned in the belgian ales book is to throw a...

Hi Paleman The braid forms a point where the mash is filtered. The husks from the crushed malt form a filter bed against the braid and the wort is clarified as it passes through the filter bed. This is why you don't want to mill or crack the grain too fine and shred the husk. If you haven't...

Hi beer lovers Just an update at what is happening at the Gulf Brewery. We are pleased to welcome Michael Derer on board as a dedicated salesperson. Michael has had a past life in selling beer for a large brewery (let's not mention names, but it was in Oz) and is looking forward to selling...

OK facter, you want an example <_< I have a beer of 4.2% alcohol by volume. I have a 1000 litres that I am going to keg into 50 litre kegs So this rule applies Beer, in individual containers exceeding 48 litres, exceeding 3.5% by volume of alcohol $26.03 per litre of alcohol, calculated on...

Hi facter Excise is paid by the beer manufacturer on the number of litres of alcohol in the beer. The rate varies on the size of the container it is sold in and the alcoholic strength (low alcohol has a lower rate of excise). The info is on the ATO, just keep searching for excise and beer...

Doc I haven't heard of these pellets. How about a pic and some info about them. Cheers Pedro

Anybody that attended want to post new / interesting things that they learnt? Cheers Pedro

Hi mischa6262 PM as I think I have one that suits. Cheers Pedro
