    Really Old Bottles

    I collected a few dozen bottles from a station in the Murchison a few years ago and found them extremely difficult to clean because of the red dirt which had set like concrete inside them. Also, The end of one of my fingers is permanently numb from a deep cut inflicted by a shard of glass from a...

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    As promised, I gave the rig a run and was very pleased with the performance of these little fellas. They deliver at a much better rate than the old 240V washing machine pumps I was using and I dont cringe when the cooling water drips all over them. The variable speed makes delivery control a...

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    I have fitted one of my pumps to give it a try. It came with a potentiometer attached which varies the delivery from zero to six litres per minute which is less than the 2150L/Hr (35.8L/Min) they skite about. My transfer hose is a metre long and only 8mm bore, so that will be choking it greatly...

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    The polypropylene has a small proportion of short glass fibres mixed into it to give it extra tensile strength and stiffness. it can frequently be seen in automotive components and is recognised by the "sparkle" of the inclusions, though the base material can be many different plastics...

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    As a child of the 40's who chewed his lead soldiers, lived in a perpetual cloud of organo-phosphates and organo-chlorides to keep the fleas, mozzies and flies at bay,used asbestos for everything, spent many years machining particle board (phenolics -> cancer), thirty years on a chopper gun in a...

    Things To Do In Europe.

    Had the best pork knuckle I've ever eaten in Europe right here. http://livingstylishlywell.com/2011/12/16/...ery-in-avignon/ As I left my camera on the roof of the car, I cant show you my photos, but I found a page in somebodys blog

    Bacon Jam

    I get a heap of offcuts when I square up the bacon block to put it thru the slicer and also a fair number of mis-hits whilst slicing, which I usually gobble up. Now all I need is a recipe for this stuff and I can cast my daily vegemite dose to history.

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    I had a stooge around too, Dazdog and found nothing specific. However, several suppliers did say it was safe. The best I saw was this one from a filter supplier and as far as I'm concerned, if they can filter my blood thru it, it will handle my beer. "PA66 nylon filter mesh media (21)...

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    To answer a couple of questions I use a 6/12/24V battery charger to power the mill and mash paddle on my gear, so it will be easy to run a couple of wires to run these pumps. The only reservations are that the charger puts out 17V on the 12V setting and I dont know what that will do to that...

    Too Sweet, Now What?

    It is my understanding that if the ferment is finished, then it's too late for a diacetyl rest. If I'm wrong then I eagerly await enlightening.

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    This pump has 8X the power of the brown pump and 15mm inlet and outlet, instead of 9.5mm inlet and 6.5mm outlet for the brown, so it should be able to pump marbles.

    Yet Another 12v Pump

    My rig is fitted with a couple of dodgy washing machine pumps which have given many years of service and no electric shocks (surprise!). Fortunately, I burnt one out yesterday so bit the bullet and actually decided to spend money on new pumps, rather than on fuel and time, trawling the verge...

    Stainless Conical Fermentors

    I have a 50L American conical made by Hobby Beverage Equipment Co. and the lid just sits on top. No clamps, no seals, no blow off, no worries. The biggest problem was stopping the chief brewer from lifting the lid for a germ laden peek. I solved that one by fitting a small acrylic window in the...

    Calling All Yeast Experts

    My wife found a bottle of Pro26 yeast that had been sleeping in the kitchen fridge since July 2010. I fed it and it wakes after a couple of days and produces a nice clean starter so I brewed a Munich style lager with it which has now been in cold conditioning for a week after the ferment...

    The History Of Crown Lager

    I remember three or four years ago at a West Coast brewers meeting, we had a blind tasting of half a dozen commercial Aussie beers including Crown and only one bloke picked it. Random sampling should have scored better.
