Anyone out there have a spare second hand two pin pinlock keg disconnect they wish to sell me?

Should be fine. I dont even add the water prior to storage, just another way of letting bugs in.

I've found, without dissecting it too much, that the last beer of the keg is the best. Probably a psychological thing though, rather than a scientific one. I've done a grain to brain AG in 3 days and had a perfectly quaffable Aussie Pale Ale. Didnt mean it but thats what you get when you...

Shouldn't notice a big difference if f.g. is a little high. I say get it intaya

Anyone know where I can source a two pin pinlock disconnect for the old 19 litre rheem coca-cola kegs. The old stainless steel ones with either a white or black band around the middle of the disconnect. I tried the plastic red ones that Ross sells but they are too big. Anyone? Cheers, Gil

Wow zabond that is hard to read....have you been drinking???

Because of the initial dilution rate ie one lid of nappi wash per jerry, and the very small rate of work the chemical hasa to do to clean the jerry, I have poured the contents of one soaked jerry/keg into the next. Has worked for me without problems for 5 years. All depends on if you do...

You bet, exactly the same. I soak my jerries in woolies napi rinse and hot water for 24 hours. They come up a treat. For airlock use either normal ones at an angle or a metre plastic tube shoved into the hole and into a glass of iodophor. I reckon you are better off letting the sodium perc...

I've fermented in those blue 20+ litre Big W jerries for years. That way I can ferment two or three at a time in my temp controlled fridge. Worth considering.

Noice! Get em on a flyscreen to dry for a cuppla days (especially with Sydney apparently getting to 34 degrees tomorrow) and smack em into your next brew

Remember, to get a decent hopper and crank handle - like this - will cost you $200+. This is a 2 x 2inch roller monster with aluminium handle and hopper. It is awesome though - and worth it.

I harvested the first of my tettnanger cones last night. They are papery and full of lupulin. I usually get two crops per plant per year, the second being the highest yield and best quality. I get cones forming right in the bit where gibbocore has photographed, and on the laterals, so it...

One of two things, either lateral shoots or cones. Either way - the good stuff!

Probably spiders or something, but a few curled leaves or whatever shouldnt effect the yield. Check inside the 'web' and see whats in there. People seem to expect perfect, insect free, blemish free plants. WHY? As I said they look really lush and green and should go well.

Go for Woolies Home Brand Nappy Treatment Plus - its 346g/kg sodium percarbonate, its cheap and it works. There is no mention of scents on the packaging (thats not to say there not lurking). I've soaked kegs, fermenters, glassware, taps, beerlines etc for years with no dramas. Whatever you use...

Looks great, actually quite healthy. If you want to go organic, leave it and it should be fine. Otherwise you really need to isolate the problem by finding the culprit. Look for mites, ladybirds, earwigs, aphids etc. If you think its snails, slugs etc they are easy to see. Just use a dose...

My tettnanger has been growing steadily since september. I will be picking the first cones very soon. It is a five year old plant, see photos earlier in this thread. It didnt do very well for 4 years, maybe a small bag of flowers each season, and from what I can gather they dont do well...

Remember when you are considering setting up using a march pump that they are not self priming and need to be below your hlt to flood the impeller.

wtf?

Anyone know if you can purchase galaxy rhizomes in oz? I understand that I may have to wait until winter to get some, but are they available for sale/swap/trade? Gil
