I was thinking of something cheaper, but thanks for the thought.

For a stand I was thinking of using a perforated pizza tray and some stainless steel bolts to hold it off the bottom. I saw one like that as part of a brewing setup someone was selling on Gumtree (guess where I get all my brewing gear from) and I already have a pizza tray from Aldi. But wait, if...

I just acquired a 30L Birko Domestic Urn off Gumtree. After researching Birko urns on the web I was hopeful it would have a concealed element, but no such luck. Still for $30 I'm not complaining. So my question is - is the exposed element going to be a problem if I use the urn for BIAB? I...

I think that's just the standard version with the liquid malt as a substitute for DME. I'll have to take a look at the instructions on the can. Also wouldn't dark malt be more appropriate for a stout?

OK, seems I can't PM as a new member. Maybe if you can PM me your phone no and I can call you. I presume I can read PMs even if I can't send any yet.

Hi, I'm a first-time home brewer. I bought some gear on Gumtree and started my first batch with a Coopers Amber Ale kit, 500gm of LDME and 500gm of Brew Enhancer. The yeast has subsided now, and the SG is at 1.01 if I'm reading the hydrometer correctly. I didn't know to test the OG but will do...

Hi, I'd like a couple of rhizomes if you've got any left. I'm not far from West Ryde so can pop over any time this weekend. Please text me - phone no sent in PM.
