    Heya! Had a pretty unexpected reaction to my slightly overdone description of this fridge. 1200 views, 75 watchers and... 0 bids. Looks like this one will be a snipefest!! If you are interested, Auction finishes tomorrow Tuesday 24th at 4.40pm. Thanks again for all the nice comments!

    Greetings! Shameless plug for the Keg setup I'm selling. I'd like to see it go to a good home. Figure ther's a slightly better than average chance of that here. CLICK HERE FOR BEER FRIDGE NIRVANA!!

    Freebie! Old Keg Fridge

    G'day! I recently upgraded my keg fridge to SWMBO's old one :D . Old faithful here needs to move out of the garage to make room. She needs a clean and probably a paint, but is in otherwise great working order. Fits 4 kegs nicely and the door has three 22mm holes for taps. Right side is...

    Fire Extinguisher Service In Sydney

    G'day Gents, With all this recent heat, I have been putting out fires all over my place lately! Now, my trusty CO2 extinguisher is empty. <_< I need to fill it pronto in case of any further emergencies. In fact, it being empty is an emergency on its own! :unsure: Do any of you...

    Burner Vs Element

    I'm a bit obsessed with this topic, but I figure this is the least wierd place for that, right? Here's $0.02: We changed our electric Hot water service over to NG. Back then the NSW govt was giving a rebate for doing so. I spent Morris Iemma's money on a NG outlet in the garage. If its in...

    Tweaking A Mongolian Burner

    Yep, I plugged my 23 jet NG burner down to 10 jets. It s a common problem, these burners really do soot like crazy when the flame is too low. I think the threads were around 1/4 NPT but probably smaller come to think of it. If you can, take one of your jets to a nut & bolt shop for a matched...

    Question About My Home Made Bottle Tree..........

    I have a couple of foam boxes (from the back of the fruit shop) drilled in the bottom with a hole saw. Its waterproof, relatively sanitary and needs no stand or other construction. Easy!

    Boiling Kit Yeast

    I tried this recently with good results for fermentation. Beer subsequently produced some wierd flavours though. That happened to anyone else?

    Buying Large Amounts Of Salt

    **Helmet on** What about pool salt? Yep, it's not "food grade" but what could possibly go wrong with it? :D No worries with microorganisms, so I guess chemical contamination would be the concern, but you are supposed to be able to swim in it safely. Just putting it out there. Last time I...

    Saw An Old Copper Boiler On Ebay. Can I Use It?

    I Know, how irresponsible, then you'd be as bad as those horrible Pilsener Urquell people!:

    Saw An Old Copper Boiler On Ebay. Can I Use It?

    These really great if you can get a good one & set it up right. I think the paint inside might be a zinc based cold gal type coating. I'm not sure if that's safe or not. Do watch out for lead soldered joints around the drain plug too. I'd also be asking for pics of the burner. A big piece...

    Esky For 50 Litre Kegs

    nice job scruff! That's my kind of Recycling! Only suggestion would be pluto gun kept inside so the first pour is always a good one. Maybe a slot in the lid or something so you can run it out when "in session" and then put it away for long breaks between drinks(sounds like that not going to...

    Harvesting Co2

    Welcome to the madhouse Dans you should do the science , then we'll all know 2 plants, identical species in identical pots, with identical potting mix. Clear plastic bag over both, run a hose from the top of your airlock into one bag. Measure growth & health of plants at intervals. Post the...

    Using Natural Mains Gas

    go for it Pete, but you might want to look closely at the size of your burner. I bought a 23 jet like that 2 years ago and it can dead set power the Space Shuttle! IMHO you can happily do even double batches on a 10 Jet version of these. I think Tony posted about them in one of the burner...

    Craft Brewers Rethink Rice In Beer

    Me 2. I had the same concerns with Wheatbix additions of up to 500g in a recent stout. The finished beer didn't seem to mind it though. Is the concern with Soduium something to do with water profile and therefore yeast Geoffi or just flavour more generally? Meanwhile more OT.. How's about...

    Mill Gap Settings

    Yep thats my question too. Maybe its not your crush at all I struggled with lautering for a while and what solved it was some extra holes in my manifold. If ou are getting 80%, maybe look at some extra braid, or drill some more holes. bigger filters clog less easily.
