Next version with more hops, 2g/L at 10min, 5min, 1min and dry hop. Needs a little more carbonation in the keg.

Double batch brew done earlier today. Baltic Porter first up, then a hop drain IPA.

Fergi - 2 bottles is the stipulation, stubbies are fine (point 3 in the rules), but you will need to send 2 bottles. Good luck!

You'd be using a heap of water just to wash a corny this way, if you went a massive sink that size. A laundry sink works fine imo - just set your tap spout high enough so you can stand the corny upright in the sink and still be able to swivel the spout over the open keg - that would be my...

Me too! Next one progressing too.... got 5kgs of cherries freezing atm and will pitch these onto my kriek in the coming weeks. :)

Nath, Interesting topic this one. My 2c... I would be looking to record details on each beer on your system from recipe right through to FG. If your batch size is similar each time you brew, can can simply adjust your recipes accordingly if you are concerned with excessive conversion of your...

I have cut the tips on all 4 main bines now that they have reached the top of my trellis yes.

Victoria Hops progressing slowly:

Sorry I missed your bday c0ckster! Also Happy birthday Crusty!

HLT on timer, grain crushed. Dusseldorf Altbier up first then a Rauchbier using Best Smoked malt, should be all done by noon tomorrow if all goes well!

I had to gas up a keg of golden ale for cricket mates, I simply went 300kPa for 24hrs in the fridge. Normally I never touch my reg settings. A non return valve is a must imo - cheap insurance for your reg.

Mod edit - thread title location added.

1. Finish new brew cave (then remove old shed, extend slab, etc) - refer attached progress pic, cladding/doors to go. 2. Learn and make some soft cheeses 3. House Reno's (do they ever friggin end?) and backyard works 4. and last but not least,.... brew, brew, brew!

Re beer line diameters, - I use this stuff from Ross and its great http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=828

Party tap - best way imo would be to drill a hole to allow the beer out line to pass through then add the tap on after (is this what you are asking in Q1?) Q2 - I would stick with normal beer line, so you can exchange between setups easier. Also you can reduce the headspace pressure prior to...

Devastating Nick, totally understand the pets = kids mantra. Our deepest commiserations fella!

It was tasty as! Enjoyed that beer immensely. Congrats again fella!

I have a bit more background on PID's in my brweery build in my sig below too, aliong with others on AHB that have used PID's in recent times.

Jigsaw worked for me fine, using a blade for cutting wood (not metal - metal cutting ones definately melt the plastic).

My 2c, you want to be driving oxygen (or air) into the wort. Not sure a paint stirrer is going to suck much air/o2 down into the wort imo. As per post above, SS Airstone, inline filter and aquarium pump works a treat for me.
