In the spirit of using stuff for applications which it wasn't designed for, Kogan are today selling wireless floating pool thermometers for 25% off. http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/professional-wireless-pool-thermometer I've been toying with a wireless BBQ thermometer for remote mash temperature...

I'm looking at the Kogan vacuum sealer. They do bags, too. Hey Yob, I'm looking for East Kent Goldings. None on the site. Reckon you'll have any any time soon? (I can probably wait three weeks)

I've made this a couple of times now. I find it takes a long time for the salty character to go - maybe three or four weeks? After that it's awesome. Just blew a keg of it so I'll be making this again today.

My biggest tip would be to follow the advice in the recipe: Leave it alone until the fruit drops. that was seven odd months for me, but it stayed in the dark and cool with a water lock (blow off into a glass of sanitiser) that whole time and it worked out really well. I bought some good honey to...

So the fruit took an awful long time to drop. Dropped maybe five weeks ago but I haven't got around to bottling yet. I used some past-use-by frozen bread yeast, so wasn't expecting much. I tasted this yesterday. DAMN IT'S GOOD photo here http://instagram.com/p/h7rYotE6A8/ lovely legs in the...

Hey Darryl are you selling your vacuum bag machine?

DO you have a better pic, Beerbelly? Hard to make much out in your photo and I'd like a better look

Ah bummer looks like I just missed out. For the record, what's the price? It seemed to fluctuate up and down a bit and then hasn't been mentioned for pages? Edit: Ah, I see. "$30 or less" OKay, put me down for three if any become available. andytork - 10 Truman - 5 Pat_00 - 10 djar007 - 5 syl...

I certainly appreciate it and will look into those elements - I woulda liked to avoid having to have something wired up, though if it solves my problem I'm willing to entertain any options.

Hey guys Time to call in a favour. I've suddenly started making really bad beers. There's a bit more info here: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/63974-keg-king-elements/page-20#entry1077000 I think they taste ashy/scorched, but before I go and spend some money on a new element, I'd love for...

Cool. I might have a look at this guy to see if he'll fit http://www.stoveconnection.com.au/shop/index.php/store/hot-water/elements/kz24hq00.html thanks

Hi Guys I'm aiming to fill a 20L cube. I'm not doing monster batches or anything. I'm not sure what other things could be contributing to this taste - I suppose I should hunt out someone in Melbourne with a trained palette to come taste my beers and confirm my diagnosis. Regardless, Need moar...

So an update on Element #3. My last three batches (American Pale, MO Smash, English Barley Wine) all taste identical - burnt and ashy. Unlike the first time I made an ashy tasting beer (and these three aren't that extreme), there's no evidence on the element of anything scorching or burning...

Yeah post pics man. I'm curious how the ends attach the copper (and I'm in Kew so I'm probably even gunna buy the bits from the same places you did). POST PHOTOS

That's my racking cane autosiphon thingo. Turned out the beer was fine. I did another batch at the same time with the same recipe except used whole cones the whole way through where as this one was pellets and the pellets one was better. The whole cone one had a weird bitterness that seemed...

Hmm? Sheet shows 40L/10.57G

ANything that'll help me learn more about water chemistry including salts and acids would be beneficial. I've read the pages in How to Brew and the MelbBrewers write up above - time to start actually playing with it in the real world I think. I'll get some lactic acid from G&G and some salts...

Thanks Manticle. Does it matter what sort of acid I add? Where can I learn more?

Hi All, Was about to tip a little over 10 kilos of grain into my keg today and I thought I'd check out EZCalc before hand. I've played a little bit with water stuff in Brew Alchemy and Brew Smith in the past but neither of them really helped me figure out why I was doing what I was doing, just...

Could you throw it into Google Docs? That'd be online.
