    Drew's Keezer Build

    Finished this probably two years ago, but thought I'd finally put the construction pics up. It was a long process. So long in fact that freezer number one died half way through and I had to buy a new freezer which then needed a larger bar top! I might have previously put the 'finished' photo...

    300L Fonted Keezer - Finished Product

    One day I'll put the build shots up. It took two years so the photos are scattered over several phones/cameras/computers! But here's the finished product.

    Perlick Growler filler (525SS) - POS

    Just curious how many people out there have used the growler fillers for the 525SS? I bought one from cheekypeak (linky) - and it says "525SS" in the title. So I thought it would fit. But the bugger is just impossible to get in. Cheekypeak sent me replacment orings, but this didn't help. I...

    WTB (Borrow!) Grain Mill Canberra

    So how likely is it that a kindly Canberran will be willing to lend (or rent/trade beer for) out their grain mill? I convinced my mate that cheekypeakbrewery were a good place to order from - and they are - but they only crack grain if you specifically ask them to! So I feel partly responsible...

    Fridge Restoration

    Just wanted to share my fridge restoration. Picked up an old rusty 'all fridge' - which is just perfect for a fermentation fridge. I can fit two vessels easily. I thought the rust was pretty severe, but just a bit of 240 grit sandpaper, some cleaining, and 2-3 tins of white knight appliance...

    Canberra (North) - Bottles. Stubbies and PET.

    At this point in time I've amassed too many bottles. I probably need to get rid of 5 or 6 (or more) cases. Mostly stubbies, rinsed after last use and packed into old reused beer cartons. I've also got a box (15?) of what look like unused PET coopers 700 ml bottles that I really don't used, and...

    Sodastream Valves

    All of the 60L sodastream bottles I've ever used have had a small pin for the valve, as shown here: . Recently I came across one with a much flatter valve. I didn't notice the change in valve until after attaching it to the adapter and reg, and although the valve engaged, the adapter did not...

    Dodgy Chest Freezer (Canb)

    Wasn't sure if this was something people would be interested in... my 320L freezer doesn't seem to be as chilled as it should be. Thought I'd get rid of it and replace it. Currently sitting on 13 degrees. Any interest?

    Okay this has gotta go. 25 feet (7.5 metres) of 1/2" (12.7mm) copper chiller. Comes as pictured. $65. (next best thing is iBrew who have one for $85 - but that's smaller copper 3/8" / 10mm). Pickup in Canberra. Cheers. Andy.

    New Thermostats. Cheap! Compact!

    I've come across new thermostats on ebay. They look much cheaper, and more compact than the one I built using the STC-1000. I'm talking $11! It can heat OR cool (glows red or green). It will only be accurate to within +/-1 degree unfortunately, but I think that is acceptable. Example...

    "cracked Wheat Grain"

    Bought some copper tun "Cracked Wheat Grain" on a whim. The instructions to say that if you want to use it with other grains, you should mash it along with the other grains. Then the instructions say if you want to use it with extracts you should crush the wheat grain, boil some water, add the...

    Keezer Plans

    Ramble Begin: So I've lined up a 300 litre freezer. Unfortunately I'll only have a stationwagon, so i'll need to lie it on its back for transport. So I'll wait a while before turning it back on. I currently have 2x19L cornies, and a 12L one. I plan to get 2 more. Currently still running off...

    Aldi Apple Juice Sg?

    I've gone into my latest batch of Cider a bit casually. I am planning on halting the fermentation to get a sweet cider (by kegging and fridging). I didn't take an SG - I figured I could calculate it. But now I see there's 11 grams of sugar per 100 ml....which would be 1.110 SG unless I'm...

    Keg Polishing On The Cheap

    I've seen some beautiful results from people using a 4, 5 or 8 stage process to clean and polish their kegs. But I'm wondering if I can get away with say 10% of the effort and cost to achieve half of the result? My 2 kegs perhaps look a little like this...

    Keg Setup $375

    Kegging is expensive! Especially if you have a small fridge. I'm looking at getting into it, and would appreciate if people could offer suggestions on my proposed system. It comes from a variety of places, mybeershop and ebay being the main sources. 12 Litre Squat Keg $169 540g C02 Cylinder -...
