Hi guys, I just switched on my keezer after a few months. It wasn't cooling down on fridge mode. So I tried to run as a freezer. And then the compressor stopped. I'm assuming that it's dead. As it has a collar is my best option to find a replacement freezer of the same dimensions and transfer...

Hi guys, I'm switching from gas to electric but have been turning myself into knots for the past month not knowing what options to take. I was originally thinking of an all in one (robobrew 65) or guten. But I've also been considering something like cheeky peak. I can reuse a lot of existing...

Hi guys, I just got quotes $1400 to wire up a 15amp outlet plus a couple of small 10amp outlets on 2 circuits (one existing). It's only 2 metres away from the switch and the board is 3 phase and has room. This sounds way over the top. What would be a reasonable price for this job? Getting a...

Hi guys, I've decided to take the switch from gas to electric as I've built a basement laundry /brewery and I don't want to take the risk with gas (plus with kids around its just not safe). I already own a large pot with cooling/circulation coil, 35l electric hlt and other bits and bobs. I've...

Hi guys, I tested out my new hlt (old robobrew with electrics removed by kk) and a 50l esky mash tun. I tried to use a small ss temp probe but missed numbers by a fair bit. Any suggestions on a temperature probe (either measure only or that can control a smart power point) that I could use in...

Hi guys, I recently purchased the majority of a new brewing setup, a 100L kettle and high pressure gas burner, a 55L converted Esky (with plastic manifold and tap), and a march pump that is used to circulate the liquid in the kettle. I don't have a HLT to heat the sparge water but was going to...

Hi all, I'm looking to offload my keezer and replace it with a Kegerator. Something I can have near the kitchen rather than in the garage! I see there are a few models out there. Any suggestions on which one is the most reliable. Doesn't need to fit 4 kegs. Would like 2 or 3 taps of decent...

Hi guys, I'm looking to setup my keezer and need to get some gas into it. Any advice on a) Do I just get food grade CO2 or do I need beermix (I mainly use to push beer out of kegs, may or may not force carbonate) b) Should I buy a bottle off a retailer or get a bottle off BOC? I hope to have...

Hi guys, I see that there are a whole range of new fermenters available on line and stainless options have come down considerably. My current 50L plastic fermenter is not holding pressure so I'm thinking of decommissioning it and buying a new one (or two). I've been going through the various...

Hi all, I recently bought a couple pin lock kegs off Gumtree and some disconnects off kegland. Today I tried to hook these up but the disconnects seem to be too 'deep' for the kegs. They don't sit securely and they don't lock down to allow the transfer of gas or liquid. I've read that there are...

Hi all, I've moved interstate and been ordered to get rid of my remaining property from my mum's place. I have a box full of random interesting stuff that someone on hear may want. The box includes (but not limited to): 2 beer fonts (one pretty good one and one that's more basic) A beer tap...

Posted 05 January 2013 - 02:29 PM Hi AHB members, some of you may remember that I had a fire sale of brewing gear around Xmas last year. Well, I'm back in Perth for the week after the AFL grand final (Sep 26 - Oct 7)and hoping to sell the rest of my gear. I'm not 100% sure what remains however...

Hi forum members, Although I'm reluctant to do so, I have decided to sell my entire brew set up warts and all as it has been sitting in moth balls for 12 months as I now live interstate. I am in Perth for two weeks and as I'm not sure about demand or prices for individual items/entire systems...

Hi guys, Any good ideas or styles of beer that will allow me to brew on Saturday to be ready to drink by May 9? I've got a filter that i can use and a few kegs, fermentors and a racking cane but all my other beers didn't taste any good until a month or two when they 'turned' in yummy amber...

Hi guys, I need help quickly as I am about to lose a brew. I'm trying to use this stoopid beer filer that i bought and the beer aint flowing (using gravity and not pump). What is going wrong? Also beer is leaking out of the bottome and I'm not sure why (It's full of beer so I can't check)...

Hi Guys, Is there any possible way to bottle beer and leave no sediment (i.e. rather than adding sugar or the like to the bottle when bottling can we get the beer fizzy some other way?) My mates all like clear lagers and so I'm brewing some czech pilsner (double batch). I'm keeging the...

Hi guys, Thought I should put some pics up of my new set-up that has been slowly coming together over the last few months. Many thanks for all the systems that have been posted on this forum that have been used for inspiration and ideas. The bar still needs some cosmetic touches (such as a...

Topic here Reduced 90% 3072 x 2304 (1.04MB) Hi all, I want to make the best possible Cooling system for my AG rig with the gear that I currently own (unless it's not enough). As you can see in my photo I have an Immersion chiller and Jocker Box and the original MAshmaster Chillout. I...

Hi all, I want to make the best possible Cooling system for my AG rig with the gear that I currently own (unless it's not enough). As you can see in my photo I have an Immersion chiller and Jocker Box and the original MAshmaster Chillout. I also own a multitude of hoses (beer lines, garden...
