    Drainage issues

    Hi all, I have completed my first brew in my new setup a while ago.. I had one of those trial runs that just became a debacle.. The biggest issue was draining the mash: The gear I'm using is the tri-keg setup consisting of a water heating keg, an insulated keg for a mash tun and a 3rd for the...

    The Possibilities Are Endless..?

    So the Tooheys ones are the flat top ones correct? I kind of put all commercial kegs into the one basket, but on closer inspection they are not the CUB style where could one obtain information on how to modify these legally obtained kegs..? Cheers. P.S. AFAIK...?

    The Possibilities Are Endless..?

    Hello again all, I have a quick question not sure if its the correct forum or not. I have access to some CUB style kegs and I'm wondering if there is some modification that i can do to be able to reuse them as my own beer kegs. Is it possible to clean them out re-fill them and gas them with some...

    A Few Issues..

    dammit.. I've got a grain bag too, for some reason i thought it wouldn't work. Don't ask me why now.. the old flower style is the one ive got and it was above the tap i think I may have closed it up when I stirred the mash. hop bag is a good idea too. first try is always a bit shonky i guess...

    Hmmm.. problem is I'm in alice springs where there is no brew shop (thus the bulk order request) and seems to be no discernable brewing network within the area. due to the lack of a brew shop most people do the Kmart kit thing and it just makes lame beer. if anyone can correct me on this i would...

    Hello all. I have a few different brew books however none of them give a comprehensive step by step guide to the whole process. I am in the midst of the all grain revolution and there is a certain comfort in having a book there to guide you through it. Wondering if anyone knows of a great...
