Hi all, Might be moving house so did a big clean up. Found a Kegking fresh wort kit hiding under some junk that I purchased about 18 months ago. Is it still safe to ferment?

Hey all, just purchased one of these thermowells http://shop.beerbelly.com.au/fermentor-thermowell-9-53mm-x-400mm-stainless-steel-with-grommet.html Issue, how do I mount/hang this in my fermenter when I don't use a lid and use glad wrap? I tried using a crapload of sticky tape but that was an...

It's driving me nuts! Ive been brewing for years but have only recently started kegging. At a guess over half of my beers that I keg have acetaldehyde. Never ever had this when bottling. Ive focused on being more careful with sanitation, making sure not to oxidize when siphoning to the...

With great sadness I'm putting my brewrig up for sale. I'm moving to a place with literally no backyard, don't have the room to store it away and am considering a downgrade to a Braumeister or grainfather for a laundry room setup. System is complete and ready to rock and roll - nothing else is...

Moving to all electric so this requires a new home. http://m.raysoutdoors.com.au/Product/Campfire-Megajet-Burner/215772 they are nicknamed NASA burner for a reason, very powerful and will easily handle big batches, but can be dialled right down for single batches. No soot like cheaper burners...

Thinking of going electric for the boil kettle. After reading the kegking element thread I'm a bit put off theirs...Where I live now I don't know any sparkys so dont want to pay the earth to have someone install the 5star elements into the kettle. I occasionally do double batches so was...

Thought I'd try here before using Evil-bay F&P p120 bar fridge, About 2 years old, VGC Was going to turn this into a kegerator but ended up going for a larger fridge freezer (more kegs!) there's a few posts on here that guys have squeezed 2 kegs in this model by bending the element. Pickup...

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181555493737?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 $70 82l stainless steel lid 2mm wall thickness (is this good or bad?) What's the catch here? Seems too cheap.

Hey guys, I've been lazy/time-poor with my brewing recently and had 3 months off. Gotten back into it, despite not having a whole lot of spare time still, and have mostly been brewing simple pale ales and IPA's the last 4 brews (40l urn BIAB). US05 for 3 of the batches and BRY97 for one. Now...

I've seen a few links for the Aldi chest freezers but haven't been able to find any in stock anywhere. Has anyone (or seen) any keezer setups using the cheap new chest freezers around the $220-290 mark available from Masters \ Harvey norman etc? They're quite a bit cheaper than the smallest F&P...

So...brew day today and it just dawned on me there is something I have never done....take apart and clean my urn tap. I no chill so it's always scalding hot liquid going thru the tap and I've only ever had one infection (half a batch which I narrowed down to insufficiently cleaned bottles) Is...

Hey guys, about to relocate for work/family to the Hallam/Narre Warren area. After being spoilt in inner northern suburbs with Carwyn cellars/Purvis/Slow beer and more, what shops are a doable drive from this area? My only knowledge is 2 Brothers brewery is a bit of a drive in.

Had this on tap at The Mallow whilst in Ballarat for the beer fest. Anyone got any ideas on a recipe? Holgate website doesn't even list it....it's basically a summer version of Temptress with less %ABV and slight cherry flavour... http://craftypint.com/beer/beer/holgate-black-forest-summer-porter/

Decided to make something a bit different for christmas and adapted a strawberry wheat recipe I found and added dark malt. WB-06 yeast. Spent 2 weeks in primary then boiled and strained 2 kg of strawberries and added the syrup for another week. Everything went fine, smelled great in the...

I've decided to jump into kegging but I'm on a tight budget :) I've sourced a cheap Fisher Paykel bar fridge and going to move the element to fit 2 kegs ala: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/68473-modded-fp-p120-will-two-kegs-fit/ Not initially going to bother with a font or anything, was...

Anyone seen this for sale anywhere? (Melb ideally) Tried it on tap a while ago but can't seem to find it anywhere...

Not having much luck with digital thermometers in my BIAB urn! So far I've killed one of these (just suddenly stopped working after 1 month) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DIGITAL-COOKING-FOOD-MEAT-PROBE-THERMOMETER-kitchen-/220941835365?pt=AU_Utensils&hash=item337128dc65&_uhb=1 Read some reviews...

So had a peek at my 2 week old bottled IPA's and notice a bit of a ring in the neck of the PET bottles. Quick google tells me this is the "ring of scum" and big sign of infection :( I tested one a week ago (8 days in the bottle) and didn't notice anything weird, was just under carbed and a...

Hey guys, pretty keen to move away from KK and jump straight into BIABing now. (Probably famous last words) really only keen on single batches so have narrowed down to Rays/BCF burner + 40l crab cooker + ball valve or Crown/Birko 40l urn Price difference doesn't concern me between the two...

Hey guys, I have a ~400l Fisher Paykel all fridge and keen to fit a second fermenter in there. Comes with crappy plastic shelves I wouldn't trust to hold much. Bunnings have 6mm marine ply they can cut up for a shelf, reckon this would hold a heavy full 25l fermenter? They also have 12mm...
