    Little Creatures

    Shoobs - yes it is Cascade, although what the rep was telling you was correct. They use a certain variety ( i can't remember the name atm, was it yakima chief?) Anyway, when the gallery was working, one of our members took some photo's of the hop boxes and posted them. The hopback was a joy to...

    Hangover Ratings

    He, reminds me of a cousins wedding when another non-drinking relative was sat at a table with one of my other heavy drinking relatives. Apparently the alternated between jugs of wine and beer, until someone realised that the non-drinker was nowhere to be found. A frantic search was conducted...

    Hangover Ratings

    I remember two 6 star hangovers and will forever and a day. The lesser of the two started badly with pints of Reschs (sp?) being quickly consumed over games of pool. Everything after that is a blank, until i woke up at home the next day when my flatmate came rushing into my room to btch about...

    Temperature Controllers

    Yeah i'd go one for heat / cold too. Good for running a bulb or heater in the fridge in winter.

    Beer And Homebrew Video

    Yeah, 30 minute mash, pouring the hot wort into the boiler, the immersion chiller - he seemed like a fairly new brewer to me, or maybe they just consumed too many beers. What kind of madman starts an AG brew at like 8:30pm ?

    Temperature Controllers

    I'm definately no expert, but i think the model we are getting is capable of switching 20A, or 8A inductive right? Any kind of motor or winding creates an inductive load, but your HLT elements etc produce a resistive load. So really, anything you could plug into a 10A socket should be fine -...

    More Beer Equipment

    Paul - i know what you mean about customs and charges. We have also been stung with stuff recently when bringing in gear from the US. A few things we have picked up are a) Get the crate fumigated at the other end, or use a plastic pallet. It's much cheaper over in the US than getting customs to...

    Temperature Controllers

    Hoops - you just need to use a larger relay, no biggie. But one reason i asked about which probe it is, is that some are water proof and can take high temps, and some can't.

    Temperature Controllers

    I have to ask why you fitted one of these to Sam? Did it hurt?

    Temperature Controllers

    I see with the XR10C the relay is rated at 8A, with a 20A model available. Do you know if the 20A one is possible to get? Also, what probe is it? They have different probes available with different temp ranges.

    Brewed As A Porter?

    The Porter style is very hard to define, but i've never heard of the two types of beer thing. Sounds like a black and tan to me. Porter is an old style beer, the precursor to Stout which was originally "Stout Porter". I suggest you do some more reading. Many of us here brew porters, it's one...

    Score Of The Century - Autoclave!

    OK i found out today what is wrong with it. Apparently all autoclaves used on surgical equipment now need to be hooked up to a printer that records the session temp, time etc so they can record it all. This unit has no such facility, so is useless to them. Not sure if this is a QLD health...

    Yeast Farming

    I thought that i would post my current Yeast starter method. I used to do the stubbie-starters, however my santitation must have not been up to scratch. After 6 months or so in the fridge, they started to show signs of infection. So i decided to make the leap into plating. I've got most of the...
