"High quality stainless steel finish" Little ambiguous if you ask me , and given the price it's kind of safe to assume it's not SS.

Tried a few from Aldi ... mahh bit bland for my liking. Aldi has Baron's Black Wattle Ale for $40 a slab and it's a decent amber ale. Looks like their $1/can beer is a goer now too - http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/lifestyle...i-1226254691242 The Shipstone Crew amber ale and Schloss Pils are...

I noticed my internet connection seemed to be running considerably faster since midnight ... All my prOn torrents have finished :beerbang:

Is there a particular reasons you want to use an esky for your mash tun? If not... brew in a bag... spend the money saved on a grain mill... buy some grain and hops and brew.

Sold about 7 in the last month too... good on him/her. Worse ways to make money I suppose!

Had mixed results with late hopping and cube hopping... some turned out great others really flat. In terms of aroma... best method is to chill the cube down, remove 3-4L and reboil with your late hops/flame outs... then drain into your fermenter so the resultant temperature is right for your...

S/S weldless element ... $50 and all your problems are solved.

20L cubes for $6 ... cheaper than the time & effort trying to de-stink them !

Weldless stainless steel element ... worth every cent. Just make a hole, screw it up and plug it in. Use 2 if you're impatient... assuming you have the juice to supply them

Read the thread of big batches using 19L pot Mash with grain, you'll end up with higher gravity .. boil, hops, etc... then add water to desired volume / gravity...

You can add the carafa or similar late in the mash too if you just want the colour but less of the roastiness. Choc chit is good....

Microbrewery? .... isn't 50L more like a nanobrewery?

Keep in mind you will need 2 packets... for that price you can get a Wyeast smack pack and do a starter ... more work but rewarding.

Drop the crystal ... carafoam maybe ... but really not needed. Hops are fine. It wont be as light as the all grain , the extract is always a bit dark ... but don't stress. For yeast try the 34/70 or S189 .. even S23 .... 2 packets rehydrated and pitched at your ferment temp (approx 10C)...

Try some nice dark crystal (Bairds or Simpsons), as above around 200g and perhaps some Choc Malt or Choc Chit for some roasty/coffee flavours.... 50-100g

You can never have enough kegs and at $70 for cornies there is no excuse!

Dry hop with citra .. 20g if you want a good cirtrus hit .. Can't see EKG going too well .. but hey anything is possible

You should be able to dispense a corny with 2 x 16g bulbs... which are cheap in bulk

I would get 2 corny kegs (as cheap as $60), but budget $70ea Basic chinese regulator $50 incl shipping from various sellers on evilbay You'll need some gas/beer line ($1/m) ...plus at a minimum 1 gas disconnect and 2 beer outs and picnic taps Don't discount the option of natural carbing plus...

if you want to save even more, get your disconnects, tube, splitters, taps, etc from the USA - check out chicompany.net $15 postage up to 4lb ... not the regulator though as they use a different thread - i've been using the cheapest reg from ebay for ages, besides a squeaky adjuster its been...
