Are you worried that anything less than full will give you oxidation issues? I know you said you would purge it with co2 but will it hold pressure and keep the o2 at bay? Also when reading up on aeration I noticed a few wine makers contributing. I think one of the mods Kirem is a pro wino...

Good point about the possibility it could mean more taps. That would be a great outcome. Just hope that the small batches don't disappear.

Your like the harbinger of bad craft beer news cats. Will be interesting to see who (brewers ) stays with them in Perth.

well if you change your mind I'm waiting in the wings. One more burner will have me sorted for gas assist electric on the 80lt build

Cheers mate, good to see its not just myself had issues with the bugger. I'll have to bugger around with some 3/4 probably. actually come to think of it I think big nath uses one of these or used to I might see what he used as a weldlessfittings between the ball valve and his manifold. Ciro

I'll take them please? Pm sent.

Dr k, yes it was supposed to be my version of a hop zombie. The 6 lts was drawn off as a stater for the full 23 litre batch a week after no chill. I omitted that in my 'state of mind' I didn't add wirlfloc and get a good trub cone going. So that's why I didn't use the chiller as you have rightly...

I was doing the first brew, AIPA, on a new rig a fortnight ago and it became a rushed job with piss poor planning causing all sorts of problems. Now to cut to the chase, my hop screen blocked and then started sending chunks of trub out with the wort. So the plate chiller was by-passed in fear...

Hey Punkin any chance I can get some more pics on the weldless fitting you have on the mash tun? I'm using a 100lt esky and its a bit dodgy at the moment because of the size of the hole. You may just have done what I'm trying to get sorted out, I leak a bit. If its too much of a pain in the...

Do you batch spare in two steps? As in do you pull off your runnings and start boiling then batch spare again? If you do why not get your calcs right so you can Hit the mash out temp with additions of hot water alone? The why will be answered by the experts pretty soon. I researched this a...

"I can see all the dust...I can see all the dust"

Checkout the operators name on the receipt, seems to explain a few things...

Maybe because when I was three foot tall I was helping my dad do his k&k. Maybe the same tendency that had me enrolled at adult night school at age of 14 learning furniture making and computer building basics, same reason I insisted my gran and mum teach me to cook at 16. Just feels good to Make...

Anyone found replacement seals for the Sunbeam VAC 440. the large black foam seal on mine is broken so I can't vac anymore. Or has anyone done a ghetto style fix? cheers

Can't help much mate as I'm just a hack homebrewer but I've often wondered about it. Have you considering studying first Robbo? As in one of the degrees on offer in Oz. Last time I checked without industry experience or being an undergrad you couldn't get into the ECU course. Or may be a short...

It's good mate, very very good. They have really surpassed Maine by using a proper counter flw chamber. The costarica was unbelievably fresh. Massive nose of dusty choc coffee and next thing you know I had spent a very relaxing 3 hours drinking the whol 2 liters. Today I went back and it was...

Its does, I'm not surprised he has that box of tissues handy...

been running at lunch and not drinking this week so I'm enjoying a freshly filled growler off the keg at Celebration Carlisle. Nice to have a second growler on hand too for when I want to use the blichmann gun. Its a Haandbryggeriet Costa Rica coffee porter

hmm yeah your probably right Wolfy. I'll call BB tomorrow. I do have pipe bender for my copper plumbing work but given it;s SS I'm hesitant to experiment. Anyone else out there had a similar prob they managed to fix?

Cheers Cats, Guess I'll do some more research on metal working forums or something. Its such a nice piece of workmanship I'd had to crimp the s curve pipe. I'm hoping to have it working for Sunday brew session with the backyard cascade hop cones. Bring your favorite pint glass, I'll ht up Maine...
