Here is a minimash I did for 'Oktoberfest' a couple years back. We got through that keg pretty quick on the night 1 can Homebrand Lager For the minimash 2kg Vienna Malt 0.5kg Caramunich Mash at 66-68C for 60 min Hops (no bittering addition due to hopping in the can of goo) Hersbrucker 30min...

If you decide on priming and top coating, don't mix water and oil/solvent based paints between coats, stick with 1 type. Anything other than spray will look cheap. If your after a particular colour you could also consider using automotive paint then top it with a couple layers of clear coat...

Or mail order from Coopers web site, plus you can get the TC range as well. If your still in Adelaide there are a few home brew shops around too.

You will have to head into the big smoke if you want anything other than the basics. HBS wise you have Brewcraft (almost everywhere), Brewmaker Holden Hill, Country Brewer Kilburn and Beer Belly Blair Athol. They all have websites so you can compare between the site sponsors and the HBS to...

How many kegs & beer lines do you have running snaplok? As Pumkin said, while it will not be cheap (I estimate over $100 for a set) just get a normal corny disconnect, short piece of 6x10mm hose and a snaplok nozzle (hose in one side, snaplok male other) If you need it Snaplok female then get a...

I've upgraded to a STC-1000 but I got a 50W fully submersible fish tank heater (note some can't go completely underwater). I just give it a clean with pink stain before and after use. Infact I have one in now since the fermenting fridge is outside and its getting too cold for the ale. The only...

You'll probably only be able to get rentals from BOC. They do food grade N2 in D size cylinders (similar size to a 6kg CO2). The only 'small cylinder' N2/CO2 mix they do is Callamix 40 (40% CO2) and that is in a VT size (a fatter D size). I picked up a bottle last week and an Andale Floryte...

Nice fridge, could you post an inside shot?

That looks similar to what Andale have for their beer lines. I had to work it out when I got one of their guns. They are like an olive except the olive goes on the inside of the hose. Have a look on page 22 here http://www.andale.com.au/pdf/home_brew_catalogue.pdf They show a tool being used but...

I have this on tap 1 x Can of Cooper's Real Ale 1kg - Coopers Brewing sugar 500g steeped crystal malt 500g LME 20g Cascade hops (went in at the end when I boiled the crystal malt liquid) 4 packs of yeast I didn't have any use for (2 packs Coopers kit yeast + 1 Tooheys kit yeast + 1 Homebrand kit...

The last few lagers I have done using the Brew Cellar European Lager which I get for $5 per 15g pack. Its W34/70 and has a few more grams per pack than the Fermintis branded pack.

I was in the US in September last year. The supermarket had some mainstream Australian wines (like Jacobs creek) for ~$8 (plus tax, so it would be $9), hard to get them here for below that price unless you buy a 6pack, have a sale or go to the 'big green' bottleo. They had 3*750ml cans of...

In the event you get little satisfaction beyond a refund, since that its rated for the 20 MPa inlet pressure, there is the possiblity of changing the inlet stem to a type 30 http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=51786. It costs $40 so it may cost more than what you paid for the...

PVPP (Polyclar) is the go, used it for the first time on my last brew, its an amber ale. Its come out the keg deep golden colour without any hint of haze. I added it a couple days after adding gelatine (cake section of supermarket) finings. I got a kilo of the stuff for under $50 delivered from...

Excellent point, some examples are phosphoric acid (Coca cola concentrate is full of the stuff and labelled poisonous), acetic acid (vinegar), sodium nitrite (in most processed meats) and testosterone.

CO2 stem works the same as the Argon, the flared end is hex shaped so you can use a shifter or socket.

I'm not sure why the gas tube is the length it is, someone else may know the reason. The top of the dip tube needs to remain since the poppet rests on it. Having some headspace is important, too little means that the liquid has no where to expand when it warms up and it can cause the keg to...

It can be done with a 1/4" NPT plug (my reg has one on its spare high pressure port). You might be able to get one at the gas and gear. If not then a hydraulic/fluid system (eg Enzed/Pirtek) place or Blackwoods will have them - look in the yellow pages for somewhere local. Just make sure it is...

No worries, If its not on the shelf it should only take a week to get it.

The inlet stem (and nut) is what BOC call the piece that connects the regulator to the gas bottle. You'll notice that your regulator with the 'bbq' thread has a square section on the rounded end. This allows it to be unbolted with a shifter. When removed it should reveal that it has a 1/2" NPT...
