    Fridge Mate Temp Control

    Can anyone tell me how to recalibrate the Fridgemate? I threw the manual out. Have soldered an RCA plug onto the end of the cable for connection to Jiffy box so need to recal.

    Dispensing Commercial Kegs

    Hey all, I have removed the non return ball valve in the keg coupler. I can double the line length, but to do this I need to use an in line joiner. Do you think this would cause turbulence issues?

    Dispensing Commercial Kegs

    Anyone with experience to sort this out that can come to Grange tomorrow is welcome to the all the free beer they can drink. Obviously my APA's and IPA's will be the flavour of the day until we can sort out swill for the masses.

    Dispensing Commercial Kegs

    Thanks Wimmig, tap seal does concern me as I have never used these taps before, only Celli tap in the past. That (apart from the commercial keg) is all that has changed. Does anyone know if it is possible to burp a commercial key with standard D type coupler?

    Dispensing Commercial Kegs

    Hey all, Thanks for the help Keg is in fridge, lines are in fridge, long shank tap comes through side of fridge. Keg has been resting without gas for a week prior to attaching coupler tonight. As gas has not been connected, there is no issue with over carb unless keg has come over carbed which...

    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    I just got back from a 24 hour offshore yacht race. I am tired but took a cider out to the front yard to finally pluck the Chinook hops of plant that is on the ground from falling down two weeks ago. This is a first year Rhizome sourced locally in SA, grown in a pot. It was only an 12cm long...

    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    I do not have anywhere to grow hops so mine consisted as an experiment in pots to at least establish roots etc for planting next season. [/size] I setup a watering system that watered them for them to get through the heat of summer and just tied some string lines up to some palms in my yard...

    Grain Mill Motor

    Got the new mill today. Can someone point me in the right direction for tips on building a hopper? The gaps on the outer side of the rollers and the frame are quite large. What is the way to stop grain falling straight through???

    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    Hey Jace, I got them from bunnings, I am pretty sure they were called tomato trellis'. Obviously they are no where near high enough, but these are just an experiment initially to get established in the pot for the years to come and perhaps try to grow them horizontal as well. There is no real...
