    What To Do With 30l Comet Keg?

    I may or may not have access to an unwanted, overseas keg, sitting dormant in someone's back-yard for the last 10yrs. Any thoughts on what it's be good for? Seems a waste to chop it up as a flame guard for the kettle, even though it'd be the perfect diameter... I can't see me using it as an...

    80l Keg Conversion, Tap And Pickup Tube Location

    Guys and girls, I've begun the conversion of an 80L Newcastle Brewery keg that I picked up recently. Chopping the hole in the top was a breeze, and my the 30cm lid from my 20L BigW stock-pot fits perfectly on the rim. When I finished cutting the top out, I saw the base was different to what I...

    Cheap Automation - 7day Programmable Timer

    Here's something that might help a few brewers. The current Mitre 10 catalogue lists a "7 Day Digital Timer 4 Outlets Power Board W/Surge Protection" for $25 (or maybe $29? :unsure:). Might be very handy for starting a water timer, immersion elements, etc?

    Knappstein Reserve Lager Clone

    Evening all :) I recently had the pleasure to try Knappsein's Reserve Lager and boy was I impressed! I've brewed a tweaked version of Ross' Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale a few times, and loved every drop, but the Knappstein was (obviously) pleasantly different. So I brewed my approximation of the...
