Hi all been awhile since posting here. I have a question regarding a commercial fridge I have my kegs in. I's a huge thing and works well however it cycles far more than my old keezer. I would like to know what type of probe it uses and if it is possible to swap out with a contact probe or will...

Hi guys getting back into brewing after about an 18 month hiatus and it looks like I have an issue with my temp probe and I have a brew ready to crash chill in a day or so. Loads of replacement NTC 10K ohm 3435 probes on ebay but delivery would be 2 weeks or more away. Anyone know if local...

Hi guys I am building a new rig and have ordered these http://www.neutrik.com/en/audio/powercon/powercon-20-a/ to run my pumps and herms element. I was just curious as to what people use for 25amp plus connections. Cheers.

Guys please help. I went to brew this morning and found a leak where the element goes through the pot. I pulled out the element and made new silicone washers for the inside but the fibre or paper washers are stuffed. Would I just be able to use silicone washers? I see no reason why not.

Hi guys I just got home from working all day Saturday and really wanted a beer, thing is I must of had a gas leek as nothing came out out when I pulled the tap. It is too late to get a fill and I won't be able to get a fill until Tuesday. I am hoping that some could prime a keg for me that is...

Guys I am in the process of buying all the bits and pieces for a new HERMS rig. One thing I can't get off the shelf is a false bottom that fits neat to the inside diameter of the mash pot. Unless I buy a larger one and cut it down. Cheeky peak have a very reasonable price one but it is smaller...

Guys I have a controller purchased in the group buy Lael organised. The controller is fully wired by an electrician, however I have never used it as I would of had to change my plugs on my current rig. Everyone knows the quality of this bit of kit so no need to explain it. I am asking for the...

Hi Guys, I know there is a dedicated RIMS thread however it does not seem to get much action. I am looking at building a RIMS system so I can push out 3 cubes at a time. I want to hear from anyone running a RIMS that I could pm for advice. I have read through the thread and done other research...

Hi guys, I am looking for some advice on upgrading. I am currently running a 20L single vessel like QLD Kevs setup. I have knocked out loads of good brews with it and am very happy with the results. The thing is I am a bit time poor and would like to knock out double or triple batches. I have...

Hi Guys, yesterday I noticed that the compressor on my keezer was running non stop and them was 2 degrees above the low set point and was not getting colder. I have done some looking on google and it looks like it might be a refrigerant leak. How is the best was to determine this? I have...

Wow so many keezer builds lately and having been sitting on all the gear I need for over 12 months it got me inspired to actually do something. Plan is for a 5 tap keezer using four 19 liter and one 10 liter keg (for JD on tap). Pics of the last 2 days progress in next post as they are on phone.

Hi all I brewed the Stick and stones recipe http://aussiehomebrewer.com/recipe/877-sticks-and-stones/ on Monday last week and cubed it (first no chill), The only reason I did this was because I didn't have any galaxy. I used some Nelson for in the boil to achieve the required IBU's. I now have a...

New to brewing and have only just brewed something that was not directly of the recipe database here, even though it was the AHB data base that gave me the idea for a schwarzbier. Anyway what I like about the recipes here is the feedback and that is normally how I choose. I have just purchased...

Hi All, I have a Schwarzbier in the fermenting fridge at the moment however I have use US-05 dry yeast as I have read in the Docs Schwarzbier recipe on here. Also I do not have time for a larger yeast. My question is based on my limited knowledge and only having brewed 5 other beers and 5 of...

Hi Jeff, I had an issue with a brew two Saturdays ago that had my mash temp go too high for about 10 minutes due to a PID setting (I had to use the chiller to cool) the rest of the brew day went fine. The OG ended up at 1050 instead of 1046 however this was more due to a new brew rig and not...

Hi guys yesterday I brewed using a new pid controller, I did the 55 deg rest and went to go to 66 for the mash but I must of changed a setting and it went past its set point by 10 degrees, I was not watching it and discovered the issue and guessed that it was at that temp for about 10 minutes. I...

Hi guys, I have had a big W pot for some time and I needed to cut more slots in it. I used all my normal stainless bits to not contaminate the steel however the new wire buff I used seemed to cause issues. I have been using CLR, lemon, and vinegar with bi-carb and have been able to remove most...

I have pulled out a keg I have not used in a long while and every pull is foam. When I fill the line with clear beer by pulling the handle and then release I can see the beer running back to the keg . I thought it was the tap but when I do the same and fill the line I disconnected the liquid out...
