If you was not down in cockroach country I would be V interested in making a deal with you as kegging is way down the road for me and I am always having to drink beer to make room for the next batch...Wait a minute, that is not a bad thing! :P

Great minds think alike then...Palmer and I :unsure: :lol: The idea just came to me at work today and I thought it had probably been done, thats the problem with living in the 21st century, everything has been done. Maybe after reading through your advice there a gravity system is the way...

I have a largeish cooler/esky type picnic box, not exactly sure what size it is but it is big...Anyway, as we (SWMBO) would throw the dummy if I drilled a hole in it for a tap etc is it possible to make a copper pipe manifold in the normal way but instead of it draining to a tap on the...

Cheers for the replies there guys. A lot to chew over and take in. I will be going to the HBS over the weekend so I will see what I can get and mix and match whatever they have at hand. Thanks again. :)

Thanks for the replies there guys. I am only throwing a few ideas about at the moment and am open to suggestions. Slugger, I am having trouble finding anything on that Oktoberfest you mentioned there, any chance of a link anyone? :)

No replies...I feel like a social leper. :ph34r:

I have been scouring the web looking for a lager recipe that is within my current capabilities and that does not require a huge amount of grain due to my lack of a decent crush...Anyway...I have come up with this 3.5 kg Liquid Light Malt Extract 2.0 oz Hallertauer Hops, 60 minutes 0.5 oz...

Steering this thread even further off track....Does anyone know if you can purchase buckfast in Australia? BTW I have tried absinth and it did nothing out of the ordinary for me. :blink:

Got a reply from Crankandstein via email today. The 2A mill to Australia via Global Express will cost $50 to ship. That gives you insurance, and delivery in 3-5 days after shipment. Regular parcel post is only a couple of $$ less, but takes twice as long. If you step it up to any of our 3...

I would be interested in a bulk buy if you need someone to make up the numbers and would also like airmail. I am torn between the CMG3 and the 2 roller version. BTW what is the difference between a detent and knob adjustment?

This has helped make my mind up (If it was not already) I am going to buy a Crankandstein mill. Just one question, how much was the postage via surface and how much more would airmail of been? 7 Weeks seems too long to wait. :blink:

I will be bottling my third batch in the morning using my Grolsch bottles. Earlier this week I was reading on another newsgroup about the need to scrub the inside of the bottles so tonight I scrubbed before soaking overnight in bleach. I always rinse the bottle well with water from the hot tap...

That sounds like good advice. I was thinking the postage would be hefty on the package deal so will probably buy a mill and try and make a hopper and base. Now I just have to decide which Crankandstein mill to go for. :unsure:

Sorry mate. :( Any advice on the mill issue?

Lol...If that took you 24 Hours to come up with god help us in a Week. :super:

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/My_Crush-t5636.html It is already posted, hence buying the mill. :blink: :P

Nobody got anything to say about the deal on the Crankandstein website? http://www.crankandstein.com/cgm-bcc.htm I am considering buying this for two reasons. A) I am a bit busy to be fluffing around making stands, hoppers etc and al a bit of a spaz when it comes to manual labour. B) If I...

Good onya, looks like you have nailed it. All you need now is to sort your crush out. :P

I guess that is your perogative but if my crush looked like Sos's I would be really dissapointed. Mine is not bad considering it was done with a $1 Rolling pin. When I get a mill I will update my crush photo and hopefully I will have something to brag about. :super:

My rolling pin does a better job than that mate. :P I am looking into the options with the Crankandstein mills, has anyone bought the package deal they are offering with the hopper and handle. Is this the go? http://www.crankandstein.com/cgm-bcc.htm
