    Ainsworth Digital Scales - Need info?

    Hi all, I picked up a bit of Lab equipment yesterday at a sale and grabbed these digital scales. They're old and I can't really find anything online. Has anyone here had experience with this sort of thing? I thought they might be better than my cheap digital kitchen scales for weighing hops...

    Hanna Ph meter - Struggling

    Good afternoon Brewers, I just pulled this out of the box and I appear to be doing something wrong. Despite following the instructions, I'm getting readings that are all over the place and I've gone through half of my calibration fluid trying to get this thing to work. I dunno whether I'm...

    Melbourne-Free to HB club etc. Cylinder mounting brackets,

    I have a about 20-25 (maybe more) new extinguisher brackets that I've got to get rid of. Before I take them to the tip I thought I'd just see if anyone could use them around the brewery. They might be alright for storing a benzo o2 bottle, small Co2 cylinder or hop rocket etc. They're fairly...

    I have an STC-1000 that reads 0 degrees in an ice slurry, however when the temp range is between 60 & 80 degrees it reads about 4 degrees colder than the half dozen other digital temp gauges I've compared it with. It's possible that the STC is correctly calibrated and the other cheap temp...

    Simple "Spreadsheet"?

    I've been searching for an easy to use digital document to record recipes with, currently I'm just typing up each brew in 'word' and saving it, it's pretty shit. I've tried the 'brewers friend' version but can't seem to edit the PDF. I found this...

    Belgian Blue wheat ale yeast?

    I've cultured up some yeast from a few 'Belgian Blue Wheat Ale' bottles for a bit of fun but can't find any info on what yeast type they use, I'll probly just give it a go and see how it tastes but I thought I'd see if anyone has tried using it before or knows what type it is, Cheers.

    After a couple of weeks of waiting I stood in the kitchen bottle opener in hand ready to taste what was to be a nice crisp coopers (k&k hops etc.) ale. I opened the cap & in a split second there was 750ml of foam all over me & the kitchen, As I bolted for the sink I slipped head over heels on...
