It's been a long time since I've been on AHB, but it's given me a lot over the years, so thought I'd post on here first. If anyone needs a fermenting fridge, I have one on offer for free if anyone can use it. CONS: - It looks ugly from the outside. - It'll need a decent clean. - It will...

Having downgraded my brewing recently, I need to clear some space in the shed for other projects so am selling off a bunch of gear that I've collected over time. Plenty of stuff, everything you'd need to cobble together a 3V system, BIAB rig or a HERMS system. If you're interested in anything...

I'm trying to raise a bit of money to get back into brewing, so selling some of my unused stuff I have lying around the shed. Currently have an old school miracle box cold plate beer dispenser. Very retro, or perhaps you might consider it battered, but works well despite appearances! Given...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but BrewTV (a show about brewing in WA, supposedly) is airing on WTV soon:

Seems like only recently they were developing the BeerBug, here's another kickstarter project for a digital hydrometer. Looks nice, seems like a nice design, but pricey! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1792835394/edrometer-digital-hydrometer-for-brewers-and-winem

OK, so I took a stocktake of my hops freezer the other day, and realised that I just don't brew enough. I have hops from bulk buys in 2009, all the way through to bulk buys from last year. Given that I brew so sporadically, it might be time for me to just buy hops from the LHBS when I need them...

Some of you may have seen this on twitter, but I thought it was funny enough to roll out for those who haven't. Crown: The Saga Continues

I seem to have run out of test tubes for yeast farming! Was wondering if anyone had any flat bottomed test tubes that they wanted to offload? A couple of years ago, there was a bulk buy of 50ml graduated flat bottomed test tubes - those would be ideal! But honestly, anything as long as it's...

It's quite possible that no-one wants it, but I hate to throw things out that still work! I have an old style sodastream classic that I don't need. It still works, and is in good condition, and comes with 1/2 a bottle of gas. Two things to note... 1. It doesn't come with bottles, and it...

I have a motor that's been sitting in my shed for 6 months. There was a time when I was going to do something with it, but I realise now that time is always just 'sometime in the future', so maybe it's time to sell it. I know nothing about motors (which is probably why I've never done anything...

I have a Marga Mill for sale. It's done a few years of grinding grain, and probably has many more left in it, but my brother bought a bigger mill, so no point in me hanging on to this one. The rollers have some dings in them, but they still grind grain fine. It's been modded as per one of the...

I've just cleaned out my brewing toolbox and have the following things available for anyone interested... hop sock (stained green from hops, but in good condition) old style bottle capper carbonation drops (one pack unopened) a couple of sterile sealed collection containers 3 pharmeceutical...

As with any large expense I make on brewing, I need to provide a pretty good business case to my wife. Nearly 3 years ago I bought a small barfridge sized kegerator, based on the fact that I was able to show that it used less power than my old clunker Kelvinator fridge. Unfortunately I didn't...

Hi all, Was wondering if there's a fridgy out there that could provide some advice. I'm looking at a freezer on gumtree (from the ebay thread) which is listed as 'thermostat needs attention'. I emailed the guy asking what this meant. He said that the compressor keeps cutting in and out and the...

OK, I had some Mt Hood hops growing on my verge that have since been transplanted down in the back yard, but I still have some hops shoots coming up in the front. The orders are that this year, no ugly structures are to be built to accommodate them, so they have to go! They're still in the...

Just went shopping at my local Coles (in Inglewood, WA) and they had headmaster glasses, reduced to clear, $8 for a 4-pack. I think that's pretty good. Anyway, I got 3 packs which was all that there was left in the store, so I'm pretty sure that Inglewood doesn't have any left. To be honest, I...

My old DZ-300A vacuum sealer (which used to be available from thepackagingcentre.com.au) decided to die after about 3 years faithful service. At the time I bought it, it was around $150 + delivery, and has paid for itself in hop freshness. Anyway, thepackagingcentre website didn't show them...

We're on a family holiday in Bali, and I was prepared for the worst, having been told that Bintang and Bali Hai were the only beers available (aside from dire imports like Corona and Heinekin). Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find Storm beers, a local microbrewery, which make more than...

On offer is an old motor salvaged from a cement mixer. Don't know too much about it except it's fairly dirty and greasy, and it's been dodgily rewired to include a switch (although would be easy to rewire properly in 5 minutes!). From the plate, I have the following information: ComPact motor...
