Thanks a LOT Pocket and Fourstar. I'll give the little bugger a go. I was thinking I'll use the 9" SS false bottom from CB to save a bit of mucking around. I'll be happy if I can know out some nice ales with this. I'll reward myself later with a bigger setup if I can get those right. Cheers!

Thanks for that Goomboogo. I'll give it a go Cheers Dave

G'day. As the description states, I'm trying to decide on a cylidrical drink cooler to use as a mash tun. I found the "Keep Cold" 36L cooler at BCF and wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on it or have have any experiences. Cheers!

G'day Scruffy, I've got a hybrid lager kit ready to go after a 3 week secondary ferment. It's sitting in the fridge at 11C right now. That guide didn't reallt tell me much other than kegging is cool. I need to know about setting up the gear, connecting it, and how to dispense and stuff. Thanks...

Aha! Looks like I found the only guide. If anyone has anything to add, tips and the like feel free. Thanks

G'day All! I' haven't been on in awhile, in fact my brewing has been at a standstill for the last few months. I'm back though, and to ring in the occasion I went down to Ross's shop and gave him a bunch of money for some kegging gear. I'm quite excited about it and have a brew to add bubbles to...

Yeah. I'd leave it out. We're literally talking drops per 20l batch. It'd be overpowering. But, like GWoz said, give it a try in a few bottles so we'll all know what happens! Cheers. Dave

That's exactly right. I haven't made one yet, but from the many articles I've read, once the starter is ready, pour off the remaining "beer" from the yeast sediment and the the yeast "slurry" goes into the fermenter instead of the supplied yeast. All the big guys use starters as they make the...

Thanks for all the good info. I think I'm either going to wait for a deal on a pre-fabbed cooler style tun or just dig in and build one. Cheers.

G'day Everyone, I'm looking to purchase the above if you have a ggod one for a good price. Right now only interested in items for sale in Southern QLD area. Please reply with photos and price if you can. Cheers, Dave.

Check out HowtoBrew.com. The site is free and you can get a really good start into kit/extract/AG brewing. I used that kit as my second brew and it came up really nice even without knowing what the hell I was doing, but keeping things clean. I think I wasted the hops, but I used the brew...

Posted this in the wrong place previously.... Hello Everyone. Been awhile since I've been on. I'm still an extract brewer with a keen interest in starting into AG. I did pickup two cans of the above because something about them caught my eye. Maybe they were just pretty. Anyway... What I don't...

Hello Everyone. Been awhile since I've been on. I'm still an extract brewer with a keen interest in starting into AG. I did pickup two cans of the above because something about them caught my eye. Maybe they were just pretty. Anyway... What I don't have a lot of experience in is spicing up kits...

Yeah, figured. Friggin GW crap gets my hackles up. Government pisses me off. Seems like they have nothing better to do but plan more ways to make our lives LESS fun, and MORE expensive. Ok, I'm done with my Poli-Rant for the night, back to brewing :-)

Zionist! How the hell did you pull that one out of it. Obama/Gore/Rudd are Zionists? Are you serious?

Right there with you. An besides, there is nothing more recyclable that water. What we use here will end up in a cloud above some far away land some day and eventually make it's way back to us in one form or another. I think the Gov like to hype the water thing in order to further regulate and...

Wanted to know if the IBU is of any importance on the second hop addition (flavouring) at 30 minutes left of a 90min full boil. Thanks Yeah, I think I'll bump it up to 35gm from 28. Thanks to both of you. Dave

Yeah, there's a 15g addition of 9.6 centennial supposed to be at boil, 60 minutes, but I am going to draw the boil out another 30 minutes and make it a full wort boil.

G'day! I've got a recipe for an amber ale that calls for Mt. Hood Hops at 7.0% to be dropped in at 30mins of a 60 minutes boil. The Mt. Hood hops I have are 5.2. Now, based on the fact that these hops are for flavouring, I won't need to use more to compensate for the lower AA, will I??? Thanks...

Yeah, might just go the way of the big brewpot. I'll stop looking, maybe one will cross my path and I'll nab it. Anyway, thanks for all that! Cheers Dave
