Free to a good home. Chiller coil from Robobrew 35litre. As a dedicated no chiller, no need. Never used. Happy to give away, but a bottle of something you've brewed would also be happily accepted as exchange. Pickup Ivanhoe, Vic. Message if interested, or call 0418 323305

Hi All, I've been using a couple of soda stream bottles for my party keg setup. Went to Kmart to swap empties & was told bottles supplied are now 400gm, 330gm not available. Price has jumped to about $19. On connecting the adaptor & reg, it seems the thread & pin system are different, current...

Hi All, I had the good fortune at the weekend to meet an enthusiastic bloke by the name of Manol. He appears to have done a number of things with his life, the latest being to bring to market the "Aussie Cool" lager brand. After having a crack at the first of my sample 6 pack, I would...

Bought from G & G when I launched into kegging, poured a few litres then obsessive brewing disorder kicked in, bit the bullet & went 4 tap fridge. Gun was cleaned & lubed before putting on shelf. Currently selling at G & G for $69.95. Time for it to go to a new home. $40, PM me if you're...

Hi All, I'm about to experiment with a smash brew: Batch size 23l BIAB, 6kg Light Munich 120gm galaxy at 10 min. Brewmaster gives me about 60ibu. As I'll be no-chilling, I'm trying to work out how to adjust for greater hop utilisation. Assuming a 10min nochill addition = 30 min "normal"...

This one has been setting up for a while & finally opened up a couple of weeks ago. http://www.speakeasycellars.com/ Located in upper Heidelberg Rd, a block down from the library. They seem to have set themselves up as a boutique bottle shop with a license for on premises consumption. Cafe...

Hi All, After a bit of advice or some opinions. I'm mainly brewing pale ales in double batches, my "go to" grain bill has been: 9kg ale malt 2kg light munich .6kg light crystal .2kg wheat malt with a variety of hopping schedules. After a rush of blood to the head during the late '09 bulk buy...

Marga mill, semi modified (mdf wedge & "no more nails" can be removed or changed). I brew double batches so bit the bullet & upgraded to a millmaster. Plastic hopper (rainwater diverter) not included, but readily available from bunnings for $20+. Tray has been modified for continuous flow to...

I have a few dozen 750ml heavy, non twist crown seal bottles to give away. I had kept these "just in case", but there's no turning back from kegs. PM me if you're interested. Mark

Hi all, A bit of gear I've found very useful & have been fettling for a while is the home made carbonation cap. After a discussion with Quintrex at the Vic Xmas case swap, thought it might be a good general interest topic. Carbonation caps are great for carbonating straight from fermenter /...

Hi fellow brewers. I've use Marris Otter as the base malt in most of my brews to date, simply on the basis that it was the first ale malt I used & results have been good. Regular brews are APA variations, summer ale, porter & brown ale. I'm looking at substituting J.W. Trad ale as a staple...

Kegging has taken over my brewing completely (apart from case swap p.e.t) I've thinned out the collection previously, but again have several dozen tallies looking for a new home. Pretty well all older "heavy" style re-usables with proper crown seal. Mixture of green & brown. P.M. me if you're...

I'm currently on the final leg of a work trip to UK & Denmark, 5 hour wait at Heathrow - yuk! Imagine the joy & surprise on wandering into the BA lounge & finding not only the usual euro lagers in the fridge but Fullers London Pride & Newcastle Brown. :icon_cheers: Almost makes the wait...

Hi all, I've done a couple of double batches (46-48l) of a variation on Ross' NS summer ale: 9.00 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 91.84 % 0.80 kg Wheat Malt, Ger (3.9 EBC) Grain 8.16 % 30.00 gm Nelson Sauvin [12.40 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 20.6 IBU 30.00 gm Nelson Sauvin...

Another brewing article in the popular press - link from yahoo front page today. http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/b/betterhome...w-the-low-down/ A bit lightweight, but more attention for the brewerhood. Mark

Currently excess to requirements, but may want it back at some stage. Converted 40l keg with tap. Happy to lend out long term to Melbourne brewer on the proviso it comes back if needed. PM me if interested. Mark

Copper wort cooler for sale. Picked up with some other misc gear last year, never used as I'm in the no - chill camp. Offers? PM me if you're interested, located Ivanhoe, Melbourne. Mark

Only the second brew night so far this year, so had to make it count. After agreeing to split a 50l batch with one of my brew assistants, brew assistant 2 put his hand up for the other half. What to do but try the first back to back. After firing up the buckets of death about 6pm, & mashing in...

I know this has been done before, but there seems to be some variation in opinion. I am now the proud owner of a shiny new Marga (thanks Ross) and in possession of 75 kg of uncracked base malts (thanks Lucas for organising the bulk buy). In order to make the most of this combination, I've set...

I've nearly finished clearing out excess bottle stocks after the move to kegging Approx 2 doz h/d crown seal glass & 3 doz coopers PET need a good home. PM me if you want them.
