Sorry BigD, Dicko, I knew it was one of you guys but couldnt remember which. Its the BigD BigBB that did me in :D I'd copied the pics from here ages ago and only recently gave them to my neighbor to weld up a copy. :) Hopefully the website will be updated soon so we're not three months...

Hi All, Some food for thought... Here are our two mills. The one on the left is what we will use to churn our way though the 500 kilos or so of malt we will use per brew. It's a 2-roller from Germany. The one on the right is our motorised 3-roller crankandstein (I think we stole the basic...

A quick update... and a totally blatant plug... we still use this temp monitoring program for our pilot brewing rig, but to control ferments you can save yourself a lot of money and stuffing about by using one of Brissybrew's Mashmasters. We now even use them to control the glycol solenoids for...

Happy Birthday Ken! Welcome to the roaring forties!

At the risk of being bagged for going off-thread, a word of caution for man's best friend (no, not that, I'm talking about your dog!). Avoid Ethanol based glycol if you can and go the Propylene-based stuff instead. Why? Dogs have a sweet tooth and will lap up Ethanol glycol spills in a flash...

Hey Dicko, I'm getting keyboard lazy atm. My comments were based on HB sized 2-keg batch sizes, not huge runs. The point I'm clumsily trying to make is that if people have had DMS experiences, what have they put it down to and thus is there enough similarities occuring amongst people here to...

What a thread. I rarely post, happy to read though at the end of a hard day building a micro, but have to add my angle to this one. Who out there had actually had an actual unquestionable undeniable attack of the DMS overload in their brewing? Own up. I have. Possibly there are other common...

Hey Chippy, I think you'll find his name is Kraus, not Klaus. Ben Kraus. And I must admit he is brewing some damn fine beer at the moment. Keep an eye on this lad in the future, he is good. I drank a lot of his beer when we were de-commissioning the 'other' brewery in Beechworth to bring back...

Stu, it has totally taken over my waking hours... and too damn many of my sleeping ones! Its now all I do 7 days a week. We updated the website about a fortnight ago (thankyou SWMBO) and are going flat-out to try and be open by the June Long Weekend. We have our producers Licence, Meehan have...

And......dangerously taking the thread to the borders of off topicdom ........ all the beers mentioned in this thread SNPA, LCPA and EAPA should be available for taste comparisons at the Wheaty this Friday. Taste the rest and then tell Nat from Little Creatures what you really think of their...

If anyone has the time and some extra cash to spare, it would be a good opportunity to try LCPA, SNPA, and Emersons APA all back-to-back...although not fair really as LCPA is on tap... Have a good night fellas!

Actually, that's something I have wondered about...how much power/cost does an old computer running 24 hours a day use? Any idea anyone? Bagnol is working on this one. His Thermestat program has needed a few mods to run on my typical feral old 'computer in the shed crapbox' but with a few mods...

Peas and Korn, the 3 brothers Arms in Macclesfield also has a few good bottles of British if you care for a Sunday drive. Cheers

So, interpretations of Doc's Vanilla Burbon Porter not allowed eh? Damn that's a fun drop. Cheers

I have a suspicion that the O'Brien gluten free beer is made at Bintara in Rutherglen. Anyone confirm? Cheers

By all means use diced vanilla pods in secondary, but do not get lazy and add them to your keg. They'll make your beer foam like crazy when you pour! Cheers!

Tried one meself. To say uninspiring is to be generous. Cheers

Hmmm...somewhere out there is an evil homebrewer. By day a meek Aus Post employee. By night he/she sits in front of an awesome AG rig put together for free....

btw Batz, in case you are wondering, the black wire is the one between the red wire and the yellow wire! :lol: :lol: Sorry, couldn't help myself! :D Andrew

Thanks for the programs, Bagnol, top stuff! :super: (I'm hoping to mess with them later this evening). As Bagnol says, the unit I described above gathers the data in through the serial port. I'll now try to do a similar rundown on building the relay unit that switches stuff on and off via the...
