Hi all, I am selling my rig and all the kit. I am located in Alfred Cove, WA. No expense was spared when building the brewery. All stainless steel components and top quality parts. I am am keen to offload it in one sale, so its everything for $1,000. There is a fair amount of kit so i have...

Hi Guys, Im chasing a CO2 bottle and regulator. I live SOR.

Thanks for the comments. PM sent. Mate

Attached are my labour cost estimate figures. The type of business is a small bar and bistro with a 120 person limit. Here in WA there is a 'Small Bar' liquor licence that allows you to serve drinks without food but limits the patronage to 120 people. For a bar this size i have made assumptions...

Thanks for the info ekul. Yeah i am putting together a business plan for opening a small bar and i am just trying to price up the labour. I agree that it would be more beneficial to pay a bit more and keep quality staff. I put some numbers down to compare the difference between paying award...

Thanks Dave, I am now having a look at the enterprise agreements and "better off overall test" from FairWork Australia and i can see how they have a legit flat rate. Btw, how did you get the above rates? Is this through contacts in the industry or is this something available to the public...

Hi Ekul Is this concept of paying 'above award' and not paying penalty rates on weekends legal or is this under the table? How much higher does the flat rate have to be to avoid paying weekend and public holiday loading? My understanding of FairWork Australia's minimum wage system is that you...

Thanks Dave, I didnt know that new businesses get a gradual introduction of weekend loadings. I will research this a bit further. I jumped on the online job sites, as well as gumtree ads, but found that the employers dont give away the hourly rate, unless its fairly high and in which case you...

Good point, the $16.57 is for permanent, while casual is 25% more. I also found the penalty rates which bump the hourly wage a fair bit. ------------------------------Mon - Fri----Saturday---Sunday----Public Holiday Full time/Part time----------16.57------- 20.7 -------29----------41.4...

Gents, Im trying to get an idea of what wait staff and bar staff make these days. I used to make $15 when i poured beers, while studying in Sydney, back in 2007, and i wanna know how much this has changed. Im living in Perth, but i assume that the pay rate will be relatively similar over east...

Thanks Mark. I have some citric acid handy which i will dilute and soak. Hopefully it works. Cheers, Mate

So then im fussing over nothing?

Havent tried. Ill soak it in Napisan tonight and report back.

Hello brewers, I am having a bit of an issue with my plate chiller. When i soak it in PBW, the solution turns blue/turquoise. I know from previous experience that when aluminium is in contact with PBW solution, it causes it to go blue, and i have read that copper does the same. However, this...

I think i will give the strips a go. Thanks blokes.

Hello brewers, I bought a Phep 5 Ph meter not long ago and i think that i ruined it. I have been using a Milwuakee storage solution, which has been crystalising in a pretty spectacular way. To store my ph meter, i have been filling the cap with the storage solution and keeping the ph meter...

Im 26, been lurking around these forums for around 2 years. Been brewing for around the same time. Went through the motions, kit, kit&bit, extract, partials, tried BIAB (half assed attempt) and have recently built myself a HERMS unit. Brewed my 7th beer on it tonight. Really enjoying the...

I was at LC last night and had me a pint of this IPA. Amazing! If you are a fan of the American IPAs, then i highly recommend this beer. I did have 3 pints before it, so my judgement may have been a bit off, but i found it to be perfect balance of malt and hops. Oh and yeah you really cant taste...

I stopped over at Bunnings on the way home today and picked up these two fittings for a total of $10. Works a treat. Cheers for the advice.

No worries BG, the thought was there :icon_chickcheers: Mate
