I have a wand and a capper you can borrow from Ascot Vale. You can keep your wheat beer though, yuck!

Not sure if its legal but I got some old kegs from the transfer station, gave the bloke there $20 for three of them. That should save you a few bob if your going to go with a 3v system. Also home made beer from your own home made brewey, sounds like the way to go to me. Cheers Luke

Glad to hear the missing parts have arived, I might drop by one day next week to pick mine up Cheers

Fine with me, I'm not allowed start getting bulk grain untill we have renovated the garage apparently. Or perhaps untill I can hide a water tight 44 gallon drum somewhere in the backyard and fill it up when the missus is at work?

At the risk of sounding like an Idiot it does seem to work, (however OP I would use half just to be sure). Why would it make a difference I would have thought it would be a mathematical equation, X amount of sugar creates Y amount of C02 in a given volume creates a pressure of Z, what am I missing?

I normaly put my beer in a bottle, however every now and again I fill a keg for my old man and I bulk prime. I use exactly the same amount of sugur as I would when putting it in the bottle, the beer seems well carbonated, not sure about useing half? As far as the yeast coming back to life, I...

Probably not this time, I think I will invest in a grain crusher instead. Thanks anyway

Also after having a look at the different mills on offer and considering the coments made so far I'd say my prefrence is for the $100 jobbie from keg king, i just dont think i need a top of the line mill for the amount of grain i will be milling. So I'll wait and see which way the group goes but...

Any idea on price?

Nope I ment the BB stevenger aranged in early feb. Bit harsh to say he tipped me out actually, there where 12 of us and the price came out a little more expencive then he thought so he made an executive decision and only got 8 (or something like that) after that it was first in best dressed...

It seems the cost question has been well and truly dealt with but can I just add that I made the switch from brewing from a kit about 12 months ago and the beer is much, much better. I'm not sure why that is, but I did a brew from a can, along with some specialty grain, the other day and it was...

Hard to put too much blame on the home brew shop, I made the order after all. Still it would have been nice if they had pointed out my mistake before I brought the second 10 kg of grain and wasted a second brew day. Having said that they did take pity on my and gave me a fresh wort kit at half...

Right, there is a **** load of pale sludge in the bottom of my cubes, could this be the unconverted starch your talking about? Also despite only getting about 25 L of wort out of 10 kg of grain my wort only has a specific gravity of 1.030 also I cant seem to get my starter going its been sitting...

Great, one more reason this brown will be a disaster!

Nice to see the quick responses @ Bradsbrew: My false bottom looks like this and its got a 10 inch circumference @ Raven: You may have the answer here, I did have a reasonably large grain bill at 10 kg thats about as big a grain bill as i have done in my keggle. However probably my last 5...

So I just finished (well sort of) my second brew in a row with a stuck sparge and I'm buggered if I can figure out why it’s happening. I have done about 10 brews with my current set up and no issues until wham two in a row. My first attempt at a Brown Ale ended in disaster, stuck like glue, so I...

I went to the Bright Brewery the other day and did the brewery tour (highly recommend), I got talking to the brewer about the difficulty of the huge starter you need to get a lager going and he spoke about some of the ideas he had if they were to ever do a proper lager. Later I was thinking...

In very simple terms it costs me about $1.40 a litre to make my home brew vs say $3.8 a litre to get a slab of draft on special, a more detailed analysis would have to consider 1) for $1.40 i get much better beer than i would get for $3.80. 2) Because the beer is so much better than carlton...

I'm no expert at this but I made a 48 L batch last weekend seemed to work, i can conform that making 40 L batches with this method has worked I use a three vessel system made from three old kegs. I fill the kettle up with about 40 L of wort and put that on an open fire to boil and put the...
