    Gravity Readings – what the hell am I doing wrong!

    I did have mishap where our daughter turned off my playlist and that song from Frozen started playing at very high volume - I hope to christ I havnt ruined this brew? I had naively thought that a half decent glass thermometer would be "accurate enough" as a reference - I’ve read plenty of bad...

    Gravity Readings – what the hell am I doing wrong!

    Thanks! - Sounds like thats my theory going forward; draw off a couple of samples and cool them down first. Was shooting for 1.046 pre boil and 1.055 post. All my volumes worked out perfect through the mash and boil. My measured reading pre boil was 1.044 (taken at 50deg) - which Beersmith...

    Gravity Readings – what the hell am I doing wrong!

    Hi All I need some help with what I presume is something incredibly stupid I am doing wrong……The last few brews I’ve started making a conscious effort to “measure & control” things more. I grabbed Beersmith to help with my recipe creation and record keeping, and I’ve been taking gravity...

    MM Case Swap - Tasting Thread

    I just opened a bottle here too! Mine certainly wasn't flat, but I did notice that the crown seal didn't look like it was crimped as well as it could have been. Might need an extra whack of the hammer or pump of the capper handle next time :) Enjoying the beer very much though!

    MM Case Swap - Tasting Thread

    We'll now I'm confused!! I don't profess to have an experienced enough palette yet to pin down exactly what I've created-that's where you people come in! It was meant to be a mix up of 2 of my summery favourites- Stone & Wood pacific, and Mountain Goat Summer. I took clone recipes of both and...

    ANHC 2014

    Geez, fair door prize!! Only problem I see with all this is that our exclusive little start up brew club is starting to attract a hell of a lot of attention to itself; might need to start booking the exhibition building for club meetings.... :)

    Household power circuits and current ratings

    Important to point out too that the type of cheese in the foil wrapper has a big influence on the current rating of the foil; I think you can get close to 20A out of parmesan.......

    September 2014 Meeting

    Let's just say when my train pulled into Nth Melb station at about 11pm on the way home, I was very surprised to see Dan waiting on the platform, and that he wasn't alone.... There was a little sliding doors moment as he jumped on just as the doors were closing, looked up, and saw me! Without...

    Mechanical relay cost

    That's the whole point; no ones using 110V elements, not even the yanks and Canadians. They just have manipulate their supply to get 240v, whereas we obviously don't :)

    Mechanical relay cost

    Could this be a throw back from the original Electric Brewery - given thats based on the 120V North American system, doubling up both "active-hots" to give 240V? Im only taking a stab on this, as im only a pretend sparky - you're a proper one arnt you Stu? :) Baz

    Mechanical relay cost

    Im the same mate, first thing I do is start googling things and checking Ebay. Only in this case I actualy couldnt find anything anywhere else; unless I ended up on Aliexpress or somewhere else slightly out of the ordinary (I must not have been searching for Ebay US). I actualy had similar...
