    Should I Crash Chill A Hefeweizen?

    Hi Everyone, Currently brewing a Hefeweizen fresh wort kit which will be going straight into a keg. Just wondering if I should crash chill it or just keg it straight away? I know wheat beers are meant to be cloudy. Thanks Ben

    Fresh Wort Kits. Are They Any Good?

    Ragmans Coat -> Where abouts do you live? Local HBS normally stock them. Just add 5 litres of water. Makes 20 litres of wort. The Brewers Selection is fresh from the kettles of St. Peters Brewery in Sydney, to your fermenter. Made from only the freshest Australian and imported malted barley...

    Possible Infection?

    Thanks everyone for their help. Well I woke up this morning and had a look at it and noticed the spots seemed to be going. Got home tonight and all the white spots (that I thought were mold) were GONE! Go figure! So I worried for nothing. Thanks everyone.

    Possible Infection?

    Ag Or Keg?

    I just went through the same dilemma... Keg or Ag. I chose KEG And its the best thing I have ever done. Nothing better then pouring any icy cold beer straight from my fridge. Swear the beer tastes better too haha.

    Gas Leaks

    Thanks for the info here. I setup my keg system on the weekend. Was a bit worried about a leak because I was losing pressure when I turned off the bottle after a few hours. Made up a spray bottle with warm water and dishwashing liquid. Sprayed it on and found a leak between the regulator and...

    Keg Gas Line

    Hi Everyone, I read somewhere it is a good idea to have the gas line running through the fridge level or above the top of the keg. Is this correct or just a good idea. I have run the gas line through the bottom and hoping it wont affect anything. Thanks Ben

    Keg Setup Without Drilling Holes?

    Thanks everyone for the invaluable help. Some great info here. Is it possible to put a small hole in the "seal" between the magnet section at the door? And then run the gas line through here? Would have to be near the hinge so it doesn't rip the tube out when opening the door? This would save...

    Keg Setup Without Drilling Holes?

    Hi Everyone, Looking at moving into the world of kegging. But the wife wont let me drill holes in the 2nd fridge (just yet). Is there anyway that I can just run the whole system inside the fridge? Maybe use a pluto gun which just sits inside the fridge (until I can convince her I am going to...
