a malt shovel brewing fermenter will have a few added bits and pieces (you might not need another hydrometer, or lager kit)... but is a perfect size for you.. 12l.. and is designed for the purpose.. easy to clean and so forth... got mine at BigW when they were on sale at some stage... has worked...

got mine in Kmart Galleria.. they had a few.. saw plenty in the one in Carousel.. this was before Xmas... good luck.. Organo

sorry, Kroozy, we are talking phosphoric here... Organo

you can get it at bunnings for 6 or 7 bucks for enough to last a decade or so... it's called ph down, used for hydroponics.. the acid is strong enough that it has burned a hole in my kitchen's postform... I don't think any form of life will survive a dunking in the stuff... a drop or 2 per...

Steve.. I reckon I'm probably not going to bother with my white springy thing anyway.. have just done a crush with the adjustment wheel fastened to the body of the mill with sticky tape... and it worked just fine... !! (the crush was a little bit fine, I reckon, so I think I'll remove the...

attached an image of the new bits.. Organo

Guys.. a thanks for the photos from AndrewQLD and Warren... my Marga is a bit different to either of theirs, but the pictures have been indispensible for my hamfisted modding... just a warning about the cap and adjustment wheel for new buyers.. my new one is different to Warren's even...

guys.. definitely true... the marga is not the same... can easily see how Steve made a bit of a meal of his.. I was lucky, and levered off the adjuster with a screwdriver, and didn't damage the circlip too badly.... I agree tapping the spindle isn't a good idea... like it doesn't seem to...

have had similar problem, I'm hoping I got it fixed... my beers were going extremely astringent, (I think this is the correct term - though acrid could be the same thing) and more so with age.. like a couple of months, and sometimes had to chuck it... this was happening with AG's and...

Guys.. dispute what you like, but no AGer would bother spending the money or time to find out what 3 cans work well together... good luck to the guy who brewed a good one with 3 cans, ('cos it's a pretty unusual thing) but that's 30 bucks minimum, (and how many experiments along the way.. at...

Ross... I chucked a 400g can of berries in a 11.5 l batch recently and got a lot more attenuation than 75%... from an OG of 1050 I ended up with a FG of 1006.... you sound to be using some more berries than I did, so will probably get more alcohol than I did, though the can probably had added...

Roger.. a kg for me, if you can... Organo

Beer Krout.. if it's any consolation, I reckon I have exactly the same problem... after laying down my brews, it seems to take a month, more for the early ones, and less recently to develop a sour aftertaste to my brews.. a recent stout is quite undrinkable now, and it seems to have taken...
