Hi Guys I've recently bought a mill through one of the bulk buys and I'm looking for some grain handling/storing best practices as I've only ever bought pre-milled stuff before and now I find myself with 200 kilos in my shed. Can someone answer questions like 1. How long will grain keep in...

I'd be interested in getting on board something in Melbourne.

I am on my third Keg King element. I 1V BIAB in a converted Keg. First one was the "old model" and one day just started throwing the breaker all of a sudden. Replaced no questions asked with the new model. Second one: not quite sure what happened there but I made a batch of beer that tasted...

At the moment I'm using a cordless Ryobi one job on the slowest setting. I haven't had any problems so far in the three times I've milled other that it seems to be pretty rough on the battery and a flat battery is a pain in the arse so I was thinking of buying something dedicated. This is half...

Is this an Aldi alternative? http://aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/2827_27081.htm?WT.mc_id=2013-06-03-09-26

I'm about two months into primary on my first JAO. About ten days ago it suddenly cleared up. Waiting for the fruit to drop now and then I'll bottle.

is your intent to have the thermowell into the side of the fermenter? Interesting.

I have heat pad in the fridge insulated against the plastic by a ceramic tile. The heat pad is not in direct contact with any FVs so the intention is to heat the ambient air. For my converted fridge run from an STC 1degree tolerance is fine and I never have it going back and forth trying to hit...

Hi Guys Today or tomorrow I'm moving my sweet stout to secondary and throwing it onto some cherry puree that I'm going to make up from some frozen cherries. (the recipe I'm following is in Jamil's classic styles) I know my ABV at the moment but this will change when I add more fermentables in...

Hi All More noob starter questions. I have 22 litres of 1065 wort in a cube that I want to pitch some London 1028 into. On Sunday 19th I pitched a packet about a month old and a packet about four months old into 1.5L of 1035 wort. Spun it around for two days then put it in the fridge on...

So any news on the Briess pickups?

Do a search for keg balancing. That's how I learnt about it from this very forum. Every system will be a little different depending on the length and width of your lines. For my system I set my reg to about 90KPA which is my serving pressure - kegs are carbed in about eight days. Despite trying...

Looking forward to this, too. Great questions, Mardoo.

I'm sure you're a lovely bloke, Manticle. So so far one person says drain and store loosely connected and one person says keep it all wet. You guys are a great help! :P

Hello all I've recently invested in a two stage water filter (specifically this guy) and I'm curious about long term storage - if I'm only using my filter every week or second week, what's the best way to store it in between brew days? I've taken it apart and drained it today but I'm not sure...

Any updates on this Ross? When can we expect them online? Oxygenation is next on my list

Where did you get your pots so cheap?

I use a split fridge as one of my fermentation fridges. In summer while the fridge is maintaining 18degrees the freezer does frost up a bit. I've kept glasses in there in summer before. In winter it doesn't do anything. I pretty much ignore the freezer part now

Hello! I am affected by both the MO bit and the Briess bit. I am happy to leave my order in Kee's protection until everything rocks up. The next Saturday I'm at GABS though so if there's some urgency around picking it up when it does arrive, let me know. If I've got a week or two then there is...

Not quite sure what I've got here. Noticed it after about ten days in primary and four or five at 1 degree. Here's the photo while I'm racking out of the bottom. Couldn't smell/taste anything funny at the time. Don't usually have such floaties after crash cooling. Yeast was 1272. Actually...
