Awesome, that's what it's all about mate.

$1.73 in Dec 1969 is $17.53 in Sept 2010 - not quite as exciting :P http://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/quarterDecimal.html

my god! he's from the future!!! but on a serious note, I thought the whole idea of BIAB was to have less and more compact equipment... :P

You bought it from ebay? didnt they have pictures or say that the keg had been modified? what slack bastards, i would ask for my money back and neg them if they didnt. jerks.

LOL you should try reading the HB section, it's very very painful. To be fair, this phenomenon is hardly unique to OCAU; eg it is painful reading about coffee on here or on OCAU, or reading about beer on the coffee forum, or reading about knives on anything but foodies or knifeforums etc

I thought tactical pants was just a fancy word for cargo pants?

true that non-flooded fonts will give you a bit more froth on the first pour. IMO I would get whatever you like the look of, flooded or not, then not bother flooding it. Effectively flooding a font at home is a PITA and not really practical. Either you have a big bucket of water in a fridge...

whats all this here? BIAB is essentially using a fabric manifold in your mash tun, which also happens to be your kettle. There is no real difference in a fabric manifold compared to a stainless one or a copper one.

Why use either? that said, I also don't like gelatine.

We broke parity like a week or 2 ago, just dipped below again :) FWIW according to the RBA and XE we're still under...

:huh: We've served a few chilled a force carbed beers from a keg in a bucket of ice through an engine with no worries. Maybe the foam comes from restriction of drawing beer through the beer out post? We tend to just stick the hose in through the open keg lid (yes, best to fin the keg that day!)...

I've had one of these http://www.williamsbrewing.com/AUTO-SIPHON_P818.cfm (not from there, looks like the same thing though) for about 4 years and it's a piece of piss to use, never skipped a beat, an awesome piece of equipment IMO

Yeah it'll be fine. In my experience with english yeasts (which is fairly limited...) indicates that relative to other yeasts I use, they tend to ferment intensely for a short amount of time in the beginning, then take a while to finish.

Are you using S-04 or US-05? I don't think there is a US-04... Regardless, your temps look fine and it should be OK, wait a week and if it isn't looking at least near complete, then start to wonder wtf is going on :)

Yeah, I'm also wondering how you prepared them... I use a pressure cooker and have slants and agar at room temp I havent used in 3 years that are still clean as a whistle...

lol, sure why not :P fixed ;)

I charge what the pub charges for a beer. If they aint willin to pay they can f*ck off down the local and drink VB.

BYBs buy was through Australian Pulley Co. in Windor as they machine custom pulleys for a very reasonable price, I also think it was aimed at the guys with the old MillMaster that needed the nonexistent "standard" bore size of 12mm. If you have a new mill with a 1/2" shaft, pulleys are a dime a...
