I have 3 Celli taps, the ones with SK 240-014 stamped on the side. They're rear-sealing and I believe are made of chrome plated brass. I dissassembled them completely for cleaning after a period of disuse, and the insides just looked like dull brass. One had some green corrosion, which I'm sure...

I'm thinking about swapping my grain bag for a malt pipe and doing recirculation. Has anyone made a malt pipe out of a 55L commercial keg, or foresee any problems with the idea? Unlike the malt pipe in, for example, the Brewzilla, the sides aren't straight (keg has those bulges). I wonder if...

Does anyone have any experience with stainless unitanks from AliExpress or other similar overseas retailers? I'm seriously considering an SS Brewtech Unitank 14 (52 litres), but something like this looks like comparitively better value: US $650.0 |55L Double Wall 2 Bar Brew Conical Beer...

$100 Mashmaster MiniMill. Selling due to downsizing (nowhere to store large quantities of grain). Also comes with a plywood hopper that holds nearly 10 kilos of grain. Pick up from Palm Beach, QLD. Would also consider posting the mill. Hopper would be too much trouble to post.

$215 Commercial keg mash tun conversion. Bottom-draining to reduce dead-space. Comes with 2 ball valves with cam lock fittings, false bottom, lid, and a stainless Blichmann Auto Sparge. This setup is perfect for fly-sparging. The Auto Sparge has been installed but never used. The bottom of the...

Free: cold fermentation chamber. Pump glycol from a reservoir in a freezer through the heat exchanger, to cool the contents of the chamber. Holds 2 x 30L fermenters. It's probably getting dumped if there are no takers. Also offered on GoldCLUB Facebook page. You get: 1) A box I built out of...

This is a T-shaped 4 tap flooded font. It's used ex-commercial, so there are a few signs of use (a few small scratches and a couple of minor dents in the top and end caps). But overall it is in very good, and most importantly, shiny condition. The sticker, which has mostly peeled off, says...

Does it hurt them? I don't make a habit of doing this, but when it has happened, the LBP hasn't screeched like a dry March pump. I want to install float switches in my MT and kettle so that I can fly sparge without having to watch the rig constantly. The switch in the MT will turn on an LBP to...

I've got a 50 L type A keg that I want to use for pressurised fermentation. I plan to get a Micro Matic coupler, and would like to have to modify both the keg and coupler as little as possible. I think the keg should be fine as is, other than grinding off the lug on the spear as described in...

Some members of this forum are already familiar with this tale of implosion and heartache. One would think, after that experience, that I would have learned my lesson. Yes, I did re-read the title I gave that original thread and appreciate the irony. Yesterday I was preparing a 5 litres of wort...

My chest freezer based keggerator set up made a big leap forward yesterday with the acquisition of 2 4-tap flooded fonts. I always thought of flooding as a nice-to-have feature to help prevent foaming issues when pouring that first beer of a session, and never thought about getting the whole ice...

I've got a kegerator in progress and need some advice about mounting Celli taps to a font. I originally bought the Cellis when I was dispensing from a fridge with taps mounted though the door. For that configuration, or a for mounting through a collar, they were quite obviously the way to go...

I cultured up some WY1469 West Yorkshire Ale yeast from a minuscule amount I had stored in a stubbie under sterile water since October last year (7 months old). I built it up to a 2 litre starter which fermented out and tasted fine when I poured off the beer. Anyway, I pitched it into 20 litres...

I'm going on a Christmas trip and hoping to take a full 19 L keg along. I'm going to try to keep it cold for the full 3 days in a cooler with copious amounts of ice. The cooler is wide and low, so fits a keg comfortably lying on its side, with plenty of room for ice. I'll use a keg with a...

Is it possible to get a decent crop of viable cells from the krausen of re-cultured Cooper's yeast? Has anyone done this with success? I've done some searching on this topic and found very little info. There seems to be some speculation about this yeast - that it may be a blend of 2 strains...

I've got this Camphor chopping board, never used: I was thinking that if I attack it with a hole saw, it'd make a pretty decent mash paddle. Then I started hearing all this stuff about how camphor laurel is toxic and totally unsuitable for food preparation in general, let alone being immersed...

Im finding that my whirlpooling technique isnt working too well. I chill in the kettle and my wort ends up kind of visibly clear, but below the surface there are lots of clouds break material suspended throughout, instead of forming a nice cone/pile. My kettle is a 70L stainless pot from...

I'm an on/off no-chiller but have never fermented in the cube before. I've decided to give it a shot today. It's a 19L batch in a 20L cube (holds 23L or so in reality), so there should be enough head space for krausen. The trouble is that I squeezed the sides of the cube like a good no-chiller...

Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out a layout for the HERMS controller I'm about to build, and I'd really appreciate any feedback you guys might have on the design below (especially if it's likely to kill me!). It's an all-electric set up, with a Crown urn (2400w) as the HLT, separate HERMS HEX...

Hi folks, I'm thinking about turning my current ghetto 3V system into a HERMS. I'll be mashing in a 36 L round Cosmoplast cooler, and have some questions that may impact the rest of the design. I've always been a batch sparger, but it seems to me that HERMS lends itself nicely to fly sparging...
