Hi. Can anyone in the Bayswater (WA) area please help us out? Our hop order didn't turn up so we need some bittering hops today for a double size brew. It's a wheat beer so anything will be OK. 50g should be more than enough. Thanks Ben

Heya. Anyone know of a source of Seville or Bitter Oranges? I noticed my dad's lemon and mandarin trees were totally overloaded with fruit. It got me thinking that any bitter orange orchards or backyard Seville orange trees might be in the same state. I want to dry some peel. BTW me & dad...

Hi WCB members, I missed out on the last Kirin malt bulk buy. I heard a rumour that another buy could be on the cards. I have also heard that there may be some sharp rises in malt prices coming due to low global grain outputs this year, so it is a good time to stock up. I would would take...

I want to have an adapter made that will engage the thread in the top of a Swan keg. I believe that this is the same as a Tooheys keg and is made by Theilmann in 'The Fatherland'. I have measured the thread as best as I can; the major diameter is ~2" or ~50.5mm. The pitch is difficult to...

Maybe a repost so sorry in advance. Perfect computer for a homebrew board lurker :ph34r:

I have a Strong Dark Belgian that has been in the primary for 12 days now. I am worried as the Krausen has just collapsed but the SG is still quite high. It is still bubbling regularly - say once every 30 seconds. The OG was 1092 and it took off like a rocket after aerating the buggery out of...

I just punched my FG (1.050) into Promash and it shows an efficiency of 90%. Actually, I adjusted my efficiency until the Promash OG matched what I measured. I was making a Coopers clone with a little wheat and crystal malts. I usually get around 82 or 83% with this mash. I had never tried...

I am after the round bit of stainless that is left over after cutting the top out of a 'kettle'. I need it for my latest creation. Will pick up in Perth. Pm to discuss. Thanks Ben

How have you done it? Got any pics? Mine turned up in the mail the other day and I have been wondering how to get the probe into the HLT. My HLT is made ~0.8mm stainless. I've had a bit of a search but could not find anything specific.

I like the sound of underletting and want to give it a go on my next batch. I am all gravity, with a 10gal rubbermaid and phil's 12". I can easily hook up the HLT to the false bottom. Do I need to control the inlet flow rate? I am guessing yes. Do I just admit the correct amount of strike...

I found this the other day: Grain Comparison. It may prove useful when interpreting recipes and developing grain bills with the malts available in Australia. I can't vouch for it's accuracy. Cheers Ben

Hi Ive had a bit of a seach and a few bids on Ebay, but with no luck. Is there anyone in Oz that sells industrial thermometers online? Or retails them in Perth? I'm talking about the bi-metal probe thermometers with an integral 1/2" BSP thread. Thanks Ben

Gave my new brewing gear a trial run on the weekend. Worked OK. Need to make a few minor adjustments and build a frame, but otherwise it works fine. Got 79% efficiency. Mash tun is typical rubbermaid with Phils 12" stainless false bottom. I found a nice little float valve and plumbed it...

A while ago someone posted a pic of a bulkhead setup on an HLT, kettle or tun. It had a brass garden hose fitting as a quick disconnect and I would like to see how this was done. I've virtually worn the search function out trying to find the pic. Could someone kindly point me in the right...

Hi All, Newbie checking in. Ive just moved back to Perth after 5 years in the East. Wondering where I can buy 25kg sacks of malted grain in Perth? Cheers Ben
