Here is a simple one. The main thing is to boil the buggary out of the occy or it will be tough. Some recipes also boil the marinade to sterilise, but if you aren't going to store for a long time it probably dont matter. OKTAPODI TOURSI (PICKLED OCTOPUS) --------...

Bunnings in Balcatta are clearing this stuff at $7.00/3metre roll. I don't know if this is nation wide and 3 metres is not that useful on its own, but if one is able to swage and solder, they could make themselves a cheap cooling coil.

I put only about 15 litre of water in the keg and force carbonate at 400kpa for a couple of minutes then leave it disconnected from the gas manifold. It is necessary to top up the gas when (a) the dispense pressure has dropped below what you desire and (b) if you would like more gas in your...

My postage was USD$59.81 and paypal gave me $0.9008 (the exchange rate was $0.9136 that day) so my cost was AU$66.39. I have to confess I lost a week when I boasted about the fast delivery. Thats what Australia day does to pensioner's brains. My order was processed on 21/01/10

My six pounds of hops arrived today, ordered only last weekend so it was about 8 days. They worked out at AU$49.98/Kg tho our dollar has dropped a couple of cents last week, but would still be good value. Their real worth is the freshness. They are nothing like the chook pellets I usually end up...

Hey mxd, thats a great price for shipping, much better than the fiftyfive odd dollars postage (USPS) I was assuming. Can you remember what delivery service Puterbaugh used for that rate? or should it have been $17.00/lb and you got lucky.

Got rid of a lot of my chill haze problems when I started boiling for 90 min. A month in a jerry at 3C drops out the rest.

Two questions. 1. Has anybody had dealings with Puterbaugh Farms (Hops Direct) in the US and were you successful. 2. Has anybody used their US Saaz or US Saaz in general and how do these varieties compare with the CZ originals. That's really four questions but they have just started selling the...

Guest Lurker, Dodgers, 3.5%, filled from keg, oxidizing as you read this, drink as soon as you can. WW: following GL's advice, this was first to go. Poured with a brilliant head, great clarity. Some honey, toasty notes on the nose and a smooth, rounded malt character on the pallete. Mine did...

Hey youse guys, quit stuffing around, Cap'n Kleenoff will be angry!

This is simple and cost about sixty bucks with polypropylene plumbing and a scrounged washing machine pump. I use gravity to fill the fermenter so I dont have to sterilise the pump

I just gave Goat a heart attack!! In case there's doubt, I was referring to a bottle of dodgy Yarra valley fizzy white, not his wonderfully constructed masterpiece which is stored with all the rest, waiting until it is determined what is ready and what should be cellared.

A corny holds 19 litre to the bottom of rhe gas tube and 19.5 litre to the bottom of the gasket housing. I measured it by weight.

Our guests opened a champagne here yesterday. I think it lost something in translation because it tasted like shampoo; but you should have seen the label - one of the flashest I've seen. Is this your modus operandi Linc? Thanks to all who worked hard on Saturday whilst I just stood around...

You will have to muck around with the thermostat as you are looking for a minimum of 78C for fly sparge or around 85 for batch and there will be an overheat protection which may or may not be a problem. I use the guts from a 3600W water heater in my 70L HLT and find it most satisfactory. The...

I used gravity for a few years but seemed to spend half my life up a ladder. I use gravity now only to dump from the boiler so I dont have to worry about sterilising my scrounged washing machine pump-- and it's great to stay on the ground.

Add me to the list of those seeking an answer to this problem,which for me only happens on some kegs, but I've never tried to determine which ones. I have always felt that the O rings were swollen because they behave exactly the same way as they did in my factory days when solvents would expand...

I was very keen until little Johnny Howard confiscated my Lovely little H&K SLR. Apparently I'm not to be trusted. I went out again with some mates and have discovered that in the ensuing years, I wobble like a drunk walking home at midnight and cant see what I'm aiming at anyway. It all went to...

I've put 200kpa in a pet bottle many times when I want to gas up a sample. Regarding that couple of litres left over, I put it in a pet, squeeze out the air, then just add it to the keg when there is enough room. The absence of gas in that small portion is unnoticeable.
