Well I bit the bullet and ordered one of the Kegmate styke ones from ebay last night. They do look very, very similar to the kegmate units. Wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same factory. Can't wait to have kegs on for Christmas. :)

New chestie - $300 Font - $100 (absolute min) Reg - $100 Total: $500 Ebay kegmate delivered minus money you get after selling CUB couplers; about $520 My 2 cents

Hi Dan, After more research I'm going to buy one of the kegmate-like ones on ebay instead of the tomahawk. Fits another keg and all in all looks like a better quality unit.

G'day, I've been considering one of the tomahawk keggerators on ebay and am wondering if anyone has one and what they're like? Any info would be great. Thanks

Phew - for a minute i thought i'd got the process mixed up. Thanks Steve

Hi, On thursday I racked my first lager after a 3 day diacetyl rest at 20 deg, and crashed it to 2 degrees in my converted chest freezer. Something occurred to me this morning; I racked it into another fermenter (HDPE 25l barrel type) and am a bit concerned about oxidation. There's 23l of beer...

I've used acidulated malt (thanks Ross :))in my last 3 beers and am yet to detect any negative effect to the flavour of any. I add at a rate of 1.5 to 2% of grist. What I have noticed is a near 4% increase in efficiency, and as the only variable has been the use of Acidulated malt, I'd have to...

Man, that's a great selection of hops you've got. I'd strongly advise against a bittering addition of chinook, that is unless you want grapefruit beer. I've done it before and it's really overpowering and dominates any other hops in the beer. My 2 cents anyway.

Thanks for all the replies :) I went ahead and bought the 12.5 kg bag of JW Trad Ale. Am in the process of making an Amarillo Ale (waiting for boil to start). Tomorrow will be a roggenbier and saturday will do the lager and NC cube until the ferment fridge is free. Don't normally brew this...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone's tried substituting Ale malt for Pilsner malt in a lager before? I'm about to buy a 12.5kg bag of JW Trad Ale and would like to make a lager as one of the 3 AG beers I'll get from the bag. Should I go for it or wait until I get some Pilsner malt? Thanks for your...

Can't speak for the liquid yeast but I used dry Nottingham recently in a blonde. Came out with a definite dusty taste. Ruined what would have been a great beer, but all a learning experience I suppose! Probably be great in darker beers where there's enough oomph in the flavour to cover any dusty...

Hmmm....beer bonus..um, i mean baby bonus :P Hadn't thought about that. Will have to ask the treasurer to reconsider her previous decision.........

Called BOC who offer quarterly payment with no deposit. Will be going with them. Thanks for all the replies! Chris

Well...called my local supagas outlet yesterday and asked for pricing information. $7 per month rental, but I can't remember what the lady said about refill cost coz all I could hear was $200 deposit!!!! You gotta be kidding me!?!?! Anyone else had to pay such a ridiculous deposit?? If that's...

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll give supagas a call tomorrow. Looking at their website looks like they may deliver it for free too, which would be a great help. Would love to own my own cylinder, but will probably need to rent for 6 months while I save up for one. Thanks again.

Hi, Been AG-ing for a while and now putting together keg system (no more bloody bottles!). After um-ing and ah-ing I've decided for now to give my hard earned cash to one of the evil corporations and hire a Co2 cylinder. Would love to buy a My Keg on Legs cylinder but with the impending birth...

Mark, Almost exactly the same thing has happened to my Hefe. 35% Pilsener, 55% wheat, 10% munich. WLP300. Mashed at 66, primary for 6 days, then sat in secondary for 3 weeks as I didn't have time to bottle. Bottled it this morning and as it was running through the racking tube I thought...

I got to their Girraween store which is also their central warehouse. Have seen 44 gallon drums of Coopers liquid malt there a number of times so my guess is it's coopers.

Hi Steve, Only just saw this post but wanted to say hang in there mate. My wife has suffered chronic depression for a long, long time (since she was 15) and I know first hand how hard it can be. She's had a few stints in hospital and I know exactly what it's like to have to keep the show on...

Hehe, you're correct. I never was good at maths :blink: post edited Just took a SG reading. Is at 1014. Had a taste from test jar and ended up drinking the whole thing and proclaiming the greatness of AG brewing :) SWMBO thinks I'm strange, but what's new?
