Kirem, I haven't got a clue what you are talking about. :blink: I do know, Gas + Fire = HEAT... So whats up in laymans terms? :blink:

I recon i get 3 -4 boils tops, out of my 9kg bottle.$15 - $21 buck depends where i go for refill. 4 Ring burner........ Not enough for my liking :angry: , going to get set up with the big ass gas bottle like the one up the side of my house (heating) one day. :P

Franko, Looking so sturdy, i hope you have council permission for that one ! :P

'Or you can be lazy like me and just pump the whole lot into the fermenter and rack after a week or so'. Or be lazy like me and tip it onto the lawn with the rest of the crap! :P

Hmm...... Plastic conicals! now ya talking boys...... Thanking you. :)

Huge benefits - can be scrubbed clean - very clean - doesn't break down - doesn't absorb smells personally I am sick of plastic fermenters. They are very permeable - I have abandoned the typical 'fermenter' style container altogether - now using food grade buckets with a siphon - much cheaper -...

S.Steel conical fermenters i can see the benifits. S.Steel fermenter (not conical) whats the benifit ?? :blink:

Wednesday will be 30 litre batch of Wheat Beer ! I will filter 10L(Krystal) and compare. 70% wheat 30% ale in my 60L fermenter. About 15 IBU hallertauer pellets, and the stir plate is whizzing yeast as i speak.

Hard to beat the ESB Stout 3kg tin of goop IMO. Comes with a good yeast, and no need for any other bits. Delivered to your door online ! Cheers No Affilliation, bla bla

Are you really suggesting that the macros don't hate all/any competition? Like any large corporation, they are interested in increasing their market share. That the market is growing does not mean they are happy for competition. Sure, they don't hate micros, but they will do what they can to get...

Pumpy. For me the boil is like good sex. Reaching the boil ='Socks off ' Full boil = 'Lid off ' :P

I am keen but live in Sydney.Long drive home eh ! Whats stopping you ADL guys ?? :blink:

Good onya Coogee Welcome back, and your a champ for coming forward with your confession. (for a better word) Your beers will blossom for it :beer:

Dave, Thanks for your reply to this one! I take your advise and will brew a little job first, and make sure its going to be right before the big batch. Yes, a year or more is the go for maturation ( 3yr ) was the best i tasted so far, and it will definately be fermented in plastic not the barel...

mvzoom, Good on ya mate ! :beerbang: All will be good ! :super:

Doc, Dave, Yeah i have been keen to lay down a mead for quite a while. Never done one before but tried quiet a few. Honey type been my first thoughts for the brew. I have read many conflicting reports on honey type as best to be used, but i am keeping my ears and eyes open. As Dave says i think...

arthur, All will be ok, but can i suggest to download the free version of 'Promash' brewers software. www.promash.com I takes all the guesswork out of recipe formulation. You will never look back ! :beer:

lou, I cant agree with you more mate. Sheaf IMO is top shelf in my book, and i have been driniking it for at least 10yrs . I have tried most of the commercials in oz and they all lack flavour and as you say are thin eg. Cascade & Coopers Stout. Hate to say mate, but sheaf is at my local botlo...

I don a heavy plastic pair of Chopper Read sunnies and take some shade cloth and go into my shed to de-fuse the rest of the batch. Then I recap. Watch out for the shards of glass - they just stick into the skin and need to be washed off. And make sure you have the appropriate footware - old...

efjay, Grab yourself some carbonation drops (lollies) from your hbs. Saves measuring sugar and its just as simple as droping a lolly in a bottle. Make sure your beer is fermented right out,and no chance of a bomb (unless infection gets ya ) Oh, one lolly per longneck ! cheers
