I once had 36 dozen tallies and then got the message and changed to kegs. I still have about 10 dozen, bottle 3 or 4 after filling the keg. I have always used plastic milk crates (which will hold 13 bottles) and plastic bread trays (24 bottles). The bread trays are fairly shallow and 24...

Did the HBS store where you tried to get the bottle filled tell you that it was a rental bottle? How did they know? I have a BOC style bottle that I used to get filled at BOC before they decided there was more money to be made renting them out. My local HBS said that they didn't fill BOC...

struggling to let them 'mature' longer than a few weeks :icon_drunk: . Yeah, that's one of the downsides? of home brewing.

I don't rack to secondary to avoid the chance of oxidation/infection. I cold condition in the primary fermenter.

The back of my t shirt says "beer is technically a vegetarian meal" so it must be good for you!

Just a quick question. How long does it take Nikobrew to get your order to you? Bob

Thanks Felten, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

I've had a PM before about the negatives of yeast harvesting.

I know that I am going to get flamed for harvesting yeast, but I do it so here goes. My last 6 - 8 brews have had a really healthy yeast cake. If I dry hop I do so in a hop sock, so no hops in the yeast cake. I drain off all the beer, pour in 500ml of boiled water, swirl it all around, and...

I would suggest that there is a fair proportion of people receiving Centrelink benefits who are unwilling to make the effort to support themselves.

Thanks Bumma, have been thinking about it for some time and may eventually get around to doing it. It would be nice to not have to drink the same beer until the keg is empty, even if the choice is only between two beers.

That wasn't the aim Bribie. I have knocked one over in five days in hot conditions but I think 4 days may be a bit beyond me. I agree that a simple pic would help but that is also beyond me (I'm not real flash with computers!)

So just as an aside from this thread, if I was to add a T piece and an extra disconnect to my gas line, as I tap a new keg and put the extra disconnect onto the keg I have just replaced the expired keg with, would it (the replacement keg) be gassed by the time the new (current) keg was empty? Bob

Care to share? I'm next door in Birkdale, same water. All I see from Allconnex is that I used $47 worth of water and they are charging me $281. Bob

I've found the same thing, seems to take a hell of a rinse to get rid of the slimyness.

How many is that? You'll be breweing on the driveway next, Bob
