Sorry, had to post it. Dave

Not sure where you are but Grain and Grape have a heap of different types, not sure about that one. The John guest style of connector are commonly used in plumbing instead of using copper fittings. My plumber used them in my house and they are available at plumbing supply places. "Sharkbite" is...

Cheers , I bought some washers from the big green shed, still leaking so I went to another $2 shop and found a smooth chopping board which has sealed it nicely. So looks like textured chopping boards are out. Thanks for replies. Dave

Nice part of the world you're in. Couple of posters from Port Macquarie here, not exactly far north coast. Dave

Thank you for the guide Spills and Thirsty. I have a leak around the John Guest fitting (I think) Will get a washer today which will hopefully fix it. Anyone else need a washer there? The nylon chopping board I found (from Ikea) is not perfectly smooth, it is made with a rough texture...

:icon_offtopic: Checked their webpage. Interested to see if it worked. No mention of a finished product, perhaps it was a dud? Dave

One more reason to stay home and drink home brew

"Aqua" 5 Litre currently on special at Bunnings (Preston, Vic) Bought it for $9.50 or thereabouts. Dave.

When you do, bring it over and we'll give it a test bounce. We're in the same suburb. ;)

Glad to see I'm not the only smasher of hydrometers, $12.50 a pop, onto my third. Decided to cut my losses and buy a Refractometer. +2 for Dave. For such a small shop he has everything.

+4 for Dave.

It's 25% off until Midnight Tuesday, US time (Eastern) Cheers Dave

Malt prices have gone down according to my LHB retailer which he has passed onto customers. Definitely paid less.

Hello All, Bottled this one a couple a weeks ago. BIAB, 15L batch. I'm happy with it but turned out a little dry, that is, lacks maltiness. What would cause this? My mash temp should have been 66 but I suspect my mash temp may have ended up being lower which would make the wort dryer? I have...

Might get the cat one too

Affectionately known as "Green Death" where I'm from originally.

Good idea, problem is where do you get incandescent bulbs these days. I wonder if reptile shops still stock the Tungsten bulbs. Dave

This is the one I have ordered. They come in 50, 100 200, 300W. Even if they are rubbish they are cheap enough not to worry about it too much. Only go down to 19 deg but I have a dig thermostat if required. here Yeah, Immersing the fermenter in a tub uses a bit of space but I have to move...

Hello all, What Wattage Immersion heaters are people using ? I just ordered a 300 watt model from ebay. I plan to immerse the fermenter in a water bath so I figured I'd get one with some punch. I would imagine boiling fish would be an undesirable feature of an aquarium heater so i think it...
