I also forgot to mention some A types have a lock on the neck of the cap and I haven't been able to get those ones off. sorry can't get more technical than that.

fell off the back of a truck hey!?...Anywho, if you want to clean a 50ltr keg it's a bit tricky especially if your homebrew leaves residue in the bottom like most tend to do, some tend to turn harder and cake on the bottom of the keg more than others to. My family runs a cider house and they use...

Looks likely this will go ahead early December. I won't require any payments up front like most bulk buys as I would use the grain myself if a order was cancelled. Malko

Hey guys, I'm willing to purchase the grain in bulk and pass on the savings if anyone is interested. I would have to purchase 30 bags of grain and the price would start from $45 per 25kg up to $120 Per 25kg. It's from http://www.craftbrewer.com.au so you can see what you are after and the prices...

Actually never mind, i'm pretty new to all this and a few hours of research and I have found out all I need to know in regards to getting the replacement spears and couplers.

ah yes and no, the kegs I am getting are busted, that's why I'm getting them for free. the ball valve is buggered from what I hear.

nah not quite what I meant, I mean how do you convert a standard beer keg into one you can use with the keging equipment readily available in HB stores. instead of buying a 19 -21ltr keg from a HB store. since they are $80 for second hand and $130 new. has anyone ever done this? I was thinking...

Can't you just use a 15ltr never fail water bottles? they're cheaper than the better bottles and a damn lot cheaper @ $12 for a 15ltr bottle plus you get some water with it too.

hey guys, I have managed to aquire some 50ltre kegs (legally!) has anyone ever convereted one into a usable keg? the ones I have aquired are no longer usable from the brewrey thats why they gave them to me. What I want to do is make them usable again anyone done it before? Otherwise i'll...

As far as I am aware the filter only takes out heavy elements, does not change the pH in any way and does not remove the good stuff from the water like fluoride and essential minerals. Not sure what effect it will have on the final product but surely it will only make it better, kind of like...

If you have a bunnings store near you, you can get the gear from there. I got the following. 2x 20ltr buckets @ $11.00 each 1x round water filter (which can be found in the plumbing isle or just ask a staff member to point you in the right direction.) the gear you will need as follows. 1x...

The lid of the bucket has a hole in it for the filter to fit in and acts as a stable base for the top bucket.

nt=45373:IMG_0946.JPG] As you can see the bucket system is very easy and simple to make and can filter 18 - 20 litres of water at a time up to 150 liters of water can pass through the filter before it needs to be changed out. if you get the hole size right you dont need to silicon the filter in...

My Krausen after 5 days is minimal to say the least. is that normal for a Larger that was pitched at 28C and not a starter yeast just straight from the packet 11.5g? it still bubbles the airlock every 20 seconds. i took a Hydro reading and it was 1.034.

Already plotted! mwahhahhahh! I have a fridge a freezer coming today, if I can lift the bastards, I have a commercial double door drink fridge with glass doors which will be good to keep an eye on the FV as it bubbles away without having to open the fridge every day. I plan to have 4 FV in this...

I pitched as soon as the temp got to 28C which was to high i know it was to high but that was before I read up on the techniques. I'm planning on keeping it cool for a few more days and hopefully that will allow the yeast to consume all the sugar and then start digesting the esters and sulpher...

I might as well document the progress in this topic rather than start a new one. 4 days old... Notes: Fermentation started immediately and all equipment was sanitised. Towel was wraped around the fermenter to maintain a constant temp. salted water was added to the air lock. Added...
