    Refractometer correction charts you can actually read?

    G'day Bribie, what about pulling down the excel spreadsheet and just cloning out the formula to build your own chart? More work I know, but you could scale it how you want? Cheers

    Gladfield App

    Totally Off Topic - in my younger days I used to love going out in Melbourne for a frothy, nothing better. At GABS the other week for the SMaSH challenge and sitting around having a pint afterwards at Fed Square, looking at all the immaculately groomed beards, with product in them, top knots and...

    Jao The Ultimate Beginners Mead Recipe

    Bottling this bad boy today, 20 litres @13.8% Unlike the recipe recommendations, I added nutrients, added oxygen, used Ruby Red Grapefruit instead of oranges and Red Muscatel Raisins. The result is a citrusy, dry mead, pretty happy with it. Added sulphites to 0.8 mg/L to ensure it lasts a long...

    Wanted. Keg equipment for hire

    Geelong Craft Brewers have an 8 tap portable bar for hire, includes a small Co2 bottle and reg. It has corny keg fittings only, but I think the club would buy a sankey keg adapter if required. <edit add link> http://geelongcraftbrewers.org/index.php/bar-hire

    DIY Hop Back/Hop Rocket

    I built one of those when living in the USA worked a real treat. After moving here, I ditched it after finding the appalling lack of hops flowers we have access to. Yes, the availability is getting better as more local growers come up with varieties, but it is still terrible as anything from OS...

    The dice have been rolled in the Senate

    What annoys me is that people don't think to vote independently, they tick the same damn boxes every time they go in, so yes, we get one group of tossers replaced by the tossers that were on the other side of the bench. If people thought before voting, we would see more independents that...

    Beer Stone Stain in SS Fermenter

    Yeah maybe, but it is just a stain, not a build up. Besides, fire cleanses all, I sanitize with pressurized steam........

    Beer Stone Stain in SS Fermenter

    Here is a different way to deal with it.... just don't stress about it? I have had my conical for 16 years and yeah sure, there are a few stain rings around where various krausen have formed over the years, but, at the end of the day, scrub it, sanitize it and move on, a stain does not affect...
