There is a bar in Antwerp which specializes in very old beers. Unfortunately, I only found out about it when I got home. The bar has a sign, "Are you here to drink or taste?" Maybe worth looking up if you are nearby. Some beers are reputed to be 40 tears old.

I found that getting to breweries was a bit of a problem. They are situated out of town, very little public transport was available, you seem to have 2 options, get a driver, or maybe ride a bike (could pose problems with alcohol) I found it very difficult to find a beer under 8% abv. My wife...

Lufthansa, certainly knew how to look after its passengers.

I lift my grain tube with a 240 volt winch mounted on the wall, I have fitted a pulley in the ceiling over where I have my BM set up, The winch took too much space in this situation. I made up a drip tray to stop the drips falling onto the floor. There are photos on this site somewhere, I'll look.

Go for 20 amps, a verandah for when you are boiling, I have my BM50 on wheels so move it outside when boiling. My shed is 7x3 meters and this is just big enough. Get a 20 amp cable extension.

The idea of "not fearing the foam" scares the hell out me. So I have been mixing 40% food grade phosphoric acid which I can buy locally in 5 litre containers with Stella San and Atomic. I find that about 20% of either of the sans blended with the Phosphoric acid gives me more than sufficient...

yes. Unfortunatley, the shipping costs were too great to make me bothered to return it.

I only brew ales and heffeweizens. I had problems with a 4 way gas splitter. I put in a water trough, it was easy to see the leak, I would not use them now. I use spunding valves, be warned these leak as well. I have replaced the grey PRV's with red PRV's which should??? release the pressure...

This 270mm is to the bottom of the tap? I bought a tower from you in the past and it will not fill a 500ml German beer glass, I discussed this at the time of my purchase, and did not get a satisfactory response.

How tall is it? will I be able to get my 500ml. German beer glasses under the tap?

I have10 meter 20 amp cable especially made up, I found the extra heavy duty 15 amp cable not up to the job. (Bunnings cables are a no no!) I have found the connecting plugs got pretty warm As far as the connection to wifi, I am waiting for the "official" method to solve the problem. I finally...

Thanks WEF, I am starting to think that I have bought a superseded wifi module and that Speidels do not appear anxious to sort it out. I really want to overcome the fogging up and bending over to control the BM. A new model was advertised on a recent BYO mag.

Does any one have an easy fix to connect the wifi module? My BM is in the brew shed 20 meters from the router in direct line through a large glass window. Speidel suplied a 30 cm cable, my PC with USB is inside the house.

I live in the bush, distance from suppliers and high temperatures don't allow for me to even think about liquid yeasts. Lallemand yeasts work well for me. I had some success with mangrove Jack too. I am looking forward to more choice with dry yeasts.

My understanding is that purines as found in beans, shell fish and preserved meats should be avoided if one is suffering from gout, as well as alcohol.

All sold, on Gumtree.

Hi Garth R All the larger bottles are on hold pending pick up, I can advise you if this falls through. The .33 bottles are all available. Cheers Lindsay

I have 199 flip top bottles collected during my travels in Germany as well as some purchased locally. Many have labels but some I removed when I was using them for bottling my own beer. I now use kegs. 20 Grolsch 45 l green 24 Fischer .65 l very heavy, squat style, brown bottles 43 Mixed tall...

I've noticed the same as well. I am able to access the local water profile which is updated annually. I prefer to use Beersmith because it sets the salt additions directly into the recipe. I usually to make Heffeweizens and Australian Sparkling Ales. Beersmith seems to work for me.

try using food grade silicon grease on the o-rings.
