Defo keeping an eye on this!! Great find

I think it also has something to do with the pressure a hand-pump can force a beer up the line and into the glass. They foam up quite a bit when pulling the pump and I usually left mine about 30-60sec after pouring so the ultra fine bubbles in the beer can lift to the surface and clear the beer.

Wow!! I did open up a can of worms methinks... :blink: haha Totally understand the logistics and the why of the beer engine. And why they aren't really needed if you can gravity feed the tap. But... I don't want a syringe hanging around my bar to add head to the beer when the...

Hadn't thought of it. But after some more research on the subject there is a brewery in the states called 'bay city brewing co.' so i may shelve the idea... for now.

Toying with 'Bay City Brewing'

Just been having a look around and will defo be getting a few polypins to serve off a hand pump at home. Great idea for small batch beers too. But still keen on a few casks to take when i go to parties. Tappin a cask looks pretty cool when educating the masses (i.e. my friends...) on real...

Cheers Sean, Happy to brew my own. Just wanted to know where to source the equipment. Thanks sp0rk, Had a look at links. I like the collapsable idea. similar to keykeg. Will def help with keeping it from going stale longer in the stillage. I'll keep it in mind but do want to get...

Hi guys, I'm interested in getting casks and hand-pumps for my home bar. Does anyone know how available these are and where i could get them. Had a quick google and not much comes up. Also if anyone knows where i can go drink cask ale in Brisbane please let me know!! I missing it pretty...

Ok so i put down my first GB brew the other day. I had to use a kit as i dont have AG kit yet and Ginger is 25.99/kg but used most of Chappo's recipe and tweaked it a bit to cope with a kit. WOW!!! This thing tastes amazing! Can't wait for it to ferment out and have a taste. The dark...

Hi Pete, Can you elaborate on the hot water system please. I'm assuming you mean like a 'Solarhart'?!? And what is BABBS? Cheers, Jason

Why wouldnt i be able to do a 30min mash?? I'm a bit of a noob!!

Cheers guys Have PM people that PM me. I think 70L is a goer than. What size do you suggest the HLT in that case?? Would i be wrong in going as small as a 40L HLT. I'm seriously looking at the rubbermaid 38L cooler for a mash tun... Would i have to go bigger at all?

This is outrageous!!! Seriously needs reform... Pollies just pocket the dosh and do what exactly?!?! SWEET FA!!!

I don't even have words... hahahahaha

Anyone wanting to get rid of any AG brew stuff in Brisbane. Currently I don't have anything except a FV, hydrometer and bits and bobs from a kit I got. But now looking for the rest. About a 50-60L boil kettle is the capacity i'm aiming for so i can do double batches. Would love to put...

Well... starting to homebrew and tentatively look at industry scale brewing. Although I would keep it craft and not mass produced (e.g. Tooheys, XXXX, etc). But for now im just enjoying learning how to brew all the diff types of beer!!

So no particular reason other than seeing whats going on and fridge space... May give it a go at some stage

So what does the glad wrap do?? why use it over an airlock?

Is it better to cold condition in the FV or bottle then? Also correct me if I'm wrong but just need to confirm what I'm reading... Cold crashing/crash chilling is bringing the temp way down from ferment temp so the yeast starts to drop out of suspension and clear up. Cold conditioning...

So both are designed to clear out the beer before bottling as i suspected. How long is good to cold condition? My brew stopped bubbling yesterday and today is day 6 since i put it on. I haven't taken a hydrometer reading yet but was going to today. once i have a stable reading should i...
