Howdy, I’m happy to separate the items. Which item are you interested in? Cheers, Matt

Unfortunately I haven’t been brewing in many years and some of my gear may be more use to some others on the forum. Whilst the regulator is probably 10 or so years old it has only been used once. Will take $150 for the lot. Cheers, Matt 0407728937

Well we had another go last night and we increased the recipe to end up with a wort size of 4lt. We conducted starch tests with iodine this time which showed the the conversion was very effective. We also ended up with a very accurate pre-boil gravity this time which was very pleasing. Oh and...

Thanks heaps Matt, I was more worried about infecting the wort with whatever i squeezed the hop bag with i.e. my hand. Next time i'll sanitise some tongs and do it that way. I think we'll have another go tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice regarding type and quantity of yeast for the next...

Thanks for the advice luggy. Much appreciated.

Its been quite some time since we brewed but we were keen to try a very small batch(3.5lt) with the BIAB method. We live in an apartment and are happy to brew often as we find the process enjoyable. We got a Vale IPA recipe from a local brewers shop which included: .53kg JWM Traditional Ale...

I know its well over a year since you made the quoted post. I am wondering which size icebox you purchased from Techni Ice and also wondering how it has been going? I am thinking about a 60lt one for my first mash tun. cheers Matt

I'm a very new brewer and I am wondering how you know you have an infection. Are there specific signs? If an infected beer is still drinkable I'm not sure I'd be able to tell. cheers Matt

I was planning to throw the hops in the fermenter without a bag. There were three 15g hoppings for a 23lt wort. Cheers Matt

I brewed my first partial mash last night. At least I think its a partial mash: Coopers Sparkling Ale Kit Coopers Wheat liquid Malt Extract Caramalt Amarillo Hops As far as I can tell the instructions say that I can add the third load of hops (15g) to the fermenter when the air lock begins to...

I'm exhausted after reading this thread. What have I got myself into? :unsure:

Thanks for the tip. I'll sign up to the Adelaide forum. I had no idea there were so many passionate home brewers so close to home. Cheers Matt

Thanks Jayse, I'm not available on Thursday this week however I will pop in to Brewboys next week and check out your place. You're only around the corner from me. Cheers Matt

Thanks for everyones input. Looks like I will have to buy more beer. That Oettinger seems super cheap. Are you sure its drinkable? :D

Thanks adz1179 and Florian, I'll check out some bottles when I'm in the bottle shop next and keep an eye on ebay. I'm in Adelaide so if anyone else in Adelaide wants to get rid of some glass bottles let me know. Cheers mtodd

Does anybody bottle their beer in 330ml glass bottles? I am new to brewing beer and i bottled my first batch in a combination of 750ml Coopers long necks and 740ml PET bottles. I would like to use some smaller glass bottles as well as the 750ml glass long necks however I am having a bit of...
