These look interesting. I need a second controller and can't be bothered wiring up another STC1000.

'pu tao' means grape in Mandarin. Is it made locally in Bali? Edit: beaten to it. It's all Wade - Giles till they got to 'Chiew' :)

+1 on the kegking QDs. But the seals that are installed are crappy, When I bought mine KK supplied them with the replacement red o rings which fixes the problem.

Hefeweizen and Grapefruit smoothies were a popular summer drink when I was last in Germany,so I guess it makes sense. I'm keeping an eye on this thread as I've been asked to brew beer for a mate's wedding in october.

After trying my Kolsch, my dad rocks up a week later with a box of empty longnecks and asks me to brew some for him. This is coming from someone whose favourite beers are carlsberg, boags premium and VB and has turned his nose up at all my other brews. Which is confusing as it tasted nothing...

will check measurements later when I get home. They're not very deep, corny kegs fit with only a couple of inches to spare. I doubt a conical would fit.

My pick of the bunch was Prickly Moses's Otway Chainsaw. Also, the Ramjet Stout was intense. There sure were a lot of IPAs!

I just scored one of these 148l Haiers on gumtree with 18month warranty for $150. So far I am really impressed, it chilled 2 kegs from 24degrees to 1 degree in a few hours. My last chest freezer would need a day and a half to do that.

i might be interested in a couple of 30l if the price is OK. I import as my day job, so if you need any advice or anything...

A timely thread, I was looking at buying a second stc1000 for a fermenting fridge. The KK unit came to mind because I thought it might be worth the extra $ than the dodgy deathtrap I wired up :) How can they sell an unapproved appliance? That YOUI link tries to say that 240v is more deadly...

good ideas

Yeah that's what I thought. Most of my beers finish lower than brewmate calculates.

How does this look? My first Saison recipe.... I have a bucketload of Victoria's Secret flowers to get through :) Figured the stone fruitiness could suit the dryness of a Saison, or would a more neutral bittering hop be better? out of saison (Saison) Original Gravity (OG): 1.050 (°P): 12.4...

I'm going Thursday. 2 meetings just got scheduled at work for Friday :(

Had a bottle of St. Freullin(Sp?) Saison last night. My first try of a saison since trying one at Mountain Goat that tasted like a mouthful of lactic acid, which kinda scared me off. This is an awesome beer and has definitely got me wanting to try and brew in this style.

Oh well, back to the pile!

That might be the way I end up going. But I've been told by a couple of places that they don't stock them and if they can get them it will be months to get one in. Just trying to see if I can re-purpose something already available.

It just came in, so I can confirm the BM 20L Filter plate is 266m across. So I would assume a 270mm OD pipe that is around 1mm WT would be what I want. This would give 1mm clearance all around the edge of the plate. The hunt continues....

Sounds good I might grab one
