General question to those out there that have made their own 50l keg beer fridge. I'm wanting to get a fridge or freeze and convert it to cool down a 50l keg I already have a keg king kegerator but need another fridge. A general single cavity fridge or freezer would do the trick, but most are...

Hello, I've been using a CPBF for a few weeks. I wanted to ask people what pressure and temperature they bottle at. I bottle direct from the fridge at 2C and 13PSI which is my serving pressure. I think ideally if I dropped the PSI to 5 then I'd get less of a squirt mess when I popped the...

hello, does anyone know anywhere that sells 400 or 500 liter kettle pots? I have a 185 litre ss pot but but looking for even bigger.

I have a cooling problem with my kegorator version 3 Well two problems. 1) First problem is that the digital readout is about 6C out/incorrect. In other words when the Fridge readout says 1C, it is in fact 7C inside the fridge. Its not a simple issue with my temp probe being at the front of...

Hello, I wanted to get a general idea from those very experienced out there. I'm shifting from bottling to kegging, but will ultimately bottle from the keg after (not always). I wanted to know if anyone knows any difference with having the beer mature in the keg before or after carbonation...

Hello all, I'm looking to plant some barley seeds in the next week or so. I have an area that is 6m x 6m ready to go. Would anyone know where I can get suitable seeds to plant and know the seed to area ratio? many thanks Craig

I was hoping to get some direction on comparing the amount of Hop Pellets vs real (dried) flowers. For my usual pale/golden Ale I dry hop the last 4-5 days of my secondary. I dry hop with cascade 2g/litre (AA 4.5) This year I have my first hop flower harvest of Cascade so I'm super keen to try...

Hello all, I'm new at growing Hops bines. I've planted 4 varieties. POR, Cascade, Fuggles and Golding. All from Rhizomes, so I guess this is the 1st year. I don't have a place for them to grow up as they would naturally like to so I have them in large pots growing sideways along fences. They...

I'm having trouble reproducing the same quality of beer when moving from bottles to kegs. These are my normal fermentation technical details when bottle conditioning/carbonating. Ferment 18C for 2 weeks - fermentation is usually over after 5 days but I just leave it in the same vessel for a...

Hello, I'm looking to attach a cornelius post (gas and liquid) to the top of a plastic fermentor. For this I have my eye on a cornelius keg post that screws onto the top of a PET bottle. Does anyone know of any fittings I can get that I can use to screw this onto that can be used to make a male...

Hello all, I'm interested to know what people who use secondary fermentors and cold crashing do for their schedule before they keg and carbonate For example for a simple pale ale I would. Fermentation Schedule. 5 days Primary 18C 10 days secondary for conditioning 18C 3 days cold-crash 2C...

Hello, I'm looking to up scale my beer production and I'm looking for some bigger pots and burners (with stands and pump and tubes etc). I guess the only people selling used 100 to 300 litre gear would be people upscaling themselves to even bigger. Please let me know if you have anything like...

Hello, I got some cascade from Diggers but I've got lots of room in the garden this year so would love to grow whatever variety I can get my hands on. If anyone has any rhizomes I'd greatfully receive them. Happy to pay postage or trade some flowers back if I get a good crop. Many thanks Craig...
