    Is It Too Hot?

    Fermenting Times In Summer

    I threw down a Morgans Saaz Pilsener on Saturday and as of today it is nearly finished. Is it normal for it to ferment out so quick in the temps we are having at the moment? Also i threw down a Black Rock Cider kit with a difference after being disapointed with the bland effort i did with my...

    My New Best Friend

    After weeks of swapping taps around i can proudly unveil my new beer fridge. It holds four kegs (preferably full). It is my first and am very proud of it but does anyone know where i can get some big beer stickers for it as it looks a bit plain. What do you guys think.

    Co2 Adapter

    Is it possible to use nitrogen bulbs in the CO2 adapters i see advertised on the net and if so what would be the procedure for gassing a keg of kilkenny/Guiness. Would you just carbonate as usual with CO2 then dispense with the adapter & nitrogen bulb or is it more complicated than that?

    Cider Kits

    I have heard many people on this forum mention a William Tell Cider Kit does anyone know any where in Brisbane that stocks this kit or is it purely an interstate kit. Also is it true that cider generally takes longer in primary fermentation than beer?

Being the son of a painter i was going to use nitrocelluose thinners but am unsure whether it will damage the rubber top and bottom. Anyone have...
