Anyone from NSW got info on shipping costs and best way to package 2 x bottles? Can't find much recent info...

I ordered one a week ago but yet to receive and try it out. I do have a couple of mini kegs that are sitting un-carbed so happy to test out soon using the reg and bulbs update on this thread. Things I am curious about: -How I can nail the right carb level without too much trial and error -How...

EOI

Hi guys, is anyone having success / issues priming directly and dispensing in these mini kegs? If so, what is your set-up (kegs / how many heads with spears, etc.)? Cheers,

I recently brewed two batches that had it. The only common themes were my water (first two batches at a new house), my sanitiser (iodophor) and the small ball valve (not cleaned) of my fermentor - as I pitched Wort straight into my 1st yeast cake! Since I picked up some of the same flavours in...

Cool and congrats! Can you keep us posted ir even ping me an instant message when your beer is on tap again? I'll make sure to pop by and give it a try.

All items accounted for - cheers

Hey guys, Had some other items in a different thread - happy to give it to someone who will help take it off my hands. If you're interested, let me know asap! 40 x Empty Tapking Bottles with Dispenser/s + C02 bulbs Bottles - Glass stubbies, pints, cleaned PET bottles - some new. Brown Glass...

Thanks guys, yeah I hacked one and it works great until I get a kegerator set-up. I should add, that I also have about 18 C02 bulbs for the empty bottles.

Hey guys, A while ago I bought about 40 Empty Tapking bottles from another homebrewer for re-filling with homebrew. I've kept a few but have way too many. I'm looking to give them away for free - they are in mixed condition. I have cleaned and sanitised some, others are boxed up from when I...

Hi guys, moving house so looking to offload some less-necessary brew gear. Some for free, some for cheap and thought I would link to my tall wooden dining table which I am selling on gumtree. It's not strictly Homebrew related, but it is handmade so some of you may like it... and I can...

Hey guys thanks for the replies - have been away for a few days, will have to mix up a sugar solution and re-calibrate this week. Will let you guys know how it goes!

Hey guys, same old story - I broke my hydrometer and can't seem to get a reasonable answer on what my FG is from my refractometer... BUT wait... here is the dumb part - I have actually been trying to adjust the reading for the presence of alcohol, but all of the calculations don't make sense...

Hey Mje can you list which maltster you used? I have used brown a couple of times in porters thanks to Nick from Barleyman. I believe this was Baird's brown malt and around 20-25% of the grist. I loved it. A friend made a light coloured Porter with most of the flavour / colour from brown...

Sounds cool, I am on mobile so can't see but are you in Sydney? We have a small group of homebrewers if you wanted some good tasters or otherwise just send a case to me and I will pretend to be 24 different people!

I wasn't a big fan of Fred. I think hop hog is a great pale ale but in general a bunch of our Aussie IPAs are pretty weak. Certainly way better and more complex than stuff I brew but hey

I'm interested to know if there was a big issue with standard tap water (I'm on mobile so can't see where you are)? Sounds like it is water related, but scouting for other possible causes - anything different with your malt milling or temp probe / thermometer?

Hey Lowlyf, how long are you actually doing your primary ferments for? Sometimes it helps the flavour of the beer to give it an additional few days to a week after reaching a stable FG. This gives the yeast some additional time to clean up off flavours. Usually for me with US 05 my...

I don't want to get off topic, but this sounds like a winner.

Could the taste improvement just be the extra time in the bottle to mature? Usually what you've described is how beers change from green to drinkable, whether that's an extra month or 3
