I wrapped/siliconed a camping mat from kmart around my MT and then throw a sleeping bag over the top. A ghetto way of doing it but it holds temps perfect for the hr

Drink up! I had what i thought was a dodgy home brew (for scientific purposes!!!) one afternoon and it was pretty good! Not the best... But definately not the worst. Even if its bad, its better than VB

Your farts will be squeaky clean!

polishing a turd

Kmart sell a kettle cleaner solution in their appliance section. Maybe give that a whirl. Personally haven't used it but always kept it in mind for something like this.

That's hilarious!!!!!

I had them both in Hawaii last year and they were alot better over there compared to here... Plus they come in longnecks!!!!!!

Chin up mate! Theres always tomorrow! And tomorrow you could brew the beer you've been trying to!

Had to clean out the urn anyway, just chucked the last of it in the extra cube. I was pretty happy with the blanket around the mash tun too... 1 degree drop over the whole mash. Who needs insulation??? :lol:

Rest of the pics

mash in and the setup

Thought I had enough, but obviously thought wrong! Will be getting another bottle and this one filled up before the next brew for sure. Don't need the extra hassles on brew day when it can be easily avoided! Boiled up good in the urn though... Kept it at a really good rolling boil! Thanks for...

Approximately 18 litres into the cubes at 1.047... Pretty damn close for the gravity Now just to finish cleaning up and time to relax!

Just ran out of gas!!!! What can I do??? What can I do??? Expletive!!! Back into the urn for the boil!!! Smelling good now!!!!!!!!!!

Been in the kettle for about 5 mins... Had right amount of sparge water!!! That was surprising!!! 1.032 in the kettle... Should hopefully hit expected gravity of 1.046

Just about time to sparge... Knocked the sparge water temp up a couple degrees to make up for the 8-9 degree drop I had before. Been taking pics too... Just need to work out how to scale them down so I can post them up on here.

Just mashed in. Down by 2 degrees! <_< But smelling bloody good! @ mxd: Its a 3 tier... With blankets wrapped around the outside of MT... Didn't have time to insulate it properly yet... Just needed to brew!!! Have a 40l roband urn... 50l coopers mash tun and same with the Boiler. No beers...

Already have a pen and some paper handy... Hopefully hit all the targets (well close enough will be good enough) first go.

Basically modelled on DSGA... But a slight change to the grains. 2.8k JW Ale 800g JW Munich 1 400g JW Wheat 300g Caramunich 1 Hops and yeast all the same

Woohoo! Finally doing my first AG! Heating up the mash water at the moment while i have a coffee. Hopefully all will go to plan today and will have a good beer at the end of it! :D
