I bought the wrong shanks, 3" instead of 4" so there are 2 unused 3" shanks up for grabs for whoever can use them. Just come and pick them up or pay for postage and they are yours.

Hi all, About to put down my 1st AG lager, in fact my first lager with temperature controll for the fermentation. Needless to say any others I have tried have turned out rubbish. I have already got it in my cube, will be fermenting it this weekend. It is 85% Pils, 10% Vienna and 5% Carared...

Hi Guys, I have a cheap Chinese urn (eBay) that cuts out quite a lot. I timed it, it is on for 50 seconds then off for 17. This cycle just repeats. The strange thing is, when I did it with water to test it out, it did not do it. Does anyone have any experience with the Handy Imports urns? It...

Hi Guys, Wanting to move on from Kit & Kilo to extract and maybe BIAB, and I have been looking at urns on eBay. There is one in particular, quite cheap, and I am concerned it may be too good to be true. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/350499422044?ss...984.m1438.l2649 It is 35L...

Hi Guys, I have been reading this forum for a while now and finally decided to sign up. I have decided to put down a 20L batch of cider this weekend. I am usually a kit and kilo brewer, not lazy, just don't have a kettle or pot big enough to boil in yet. I have 8 x 2.4L Berri Apple and Pear...
