Hi Guys I have a 410 litre fridge freezer up for grabs. I was using it a while back with 3 kegs in it but no longer brew. So I need the room.. Fast pick up would be great but not necessary "Mont Albert North" Thanks Matt

I have decided to get rid of my entire setup and it may surprise you all that it hasn't been that hard a discussion! For the last year or so brewing has become a chore I'm not sure why but the enjoyment has gone. First up I am going to put up all my grain because I have to get some pictures and...

Hi guys I have recently installed 3 Celli taps outside on my garage wall behind a cabinet. The problem being is that if I don't use the taps for a couple of day they seize up. I have to give them a good old tug to free them up again. Obviously the brew is drying up in the tap. Has any one got...

I have 3 taps with 80mm shanks ready for a fridge conversion. They are used and have some marks on the coupling nut but I'm pretty sure these can be replayced if it bother you to much. you will also need to get the Barb nut that the hose connects too as I am using them on my new taps. I was...

I ve got a glutton of hops that I would like to use up. I have been searching recipes trying something that will suit my grain and hop stocks. How do the rest of you go about finding a recipe to suit, it would be great if you could search the recipe database via ingredients. Thanks Bigfella

I have upgraded my keg fridge so this fridge is up for grabs if any one wants it free to good home. It has already been converted for taps so the holes will have to be filled if you don't want to use them. Taps and tray not included. I need to get rid of this quick Rough Dimensions w 700 x...

I'm finally at the point of doing the finishing touches of my new HERMS. The Plumbing. I was wondering if any of you guys out there who have built or use a HERMS can tell me. Do you think I need to put a tap at both ends of the line. i.e. 1 on the output of the HLT then 1 on the input to the...

Hey Guys I am in the process of welding up a new brewstand. So I no longer need my old three tier stand. I was going to cut it up and burn it but thought there my be someone out there who would have a use for it.. I may be tempted to get rid of my old 3 ring burner and hp reg if anyone is...

I am in the middle of building my new herms unit and I am after a thermostat for my heat exchanger I was wondering if this unit would do the job. or do you guys have any other options that may suit. I will eventually use a pid controller but I wouldn't know where to start with that one...

Have a look at this product. Just after I received my 2 kg of fresh hops I saw this on the TV. I haven't checked out the price yet or what size the bags come in but I think it could be a bit of a winner and who knows it might even get used in the kitchen!!!! at least I will tell the misses that...

Well tomorrow is the big move to my new house. I have a great shed attached to my garage that I want to use as my brew-house. But I don't really want to use my three tier stand in there as it will take up to much room. I have been looking around at hirms and rims systems on the web, but I'm a...

I just found some 2206 bavarian yeast in my fridge, They are a batch that I propagated from a smack pack. My question is they are know 1 year old should I just fling them or would it be worth my while making a new batch from one of them and go a second generation at least they would be fresh.

I am going to make a Counter flow exchanger the same as sosman has made. I was wondering how long I should make it. I've got a full roll of 3/8 copper but I'm not sure how much I should use. Has anyone had much experience with making one. Thanks

Can you use any kind of flour mill for grain or does it have to be adjustable in a certain kind of way. I've found a old style mill that looks like an old meat mincer but isn't one and I was wondering if it would work.

Ok here we go on the liquid yeast subject again. I'm propagating some yeast again and was wondering. Is the yeast just what settles at the bottom. The reason I ask is when you are stepping up the yeast and have to keep adding new wort. Could you not just let is settle then drain of the liquid...

I was wondering how long you can keep grain once it has been crushed and how should it be stored. I like to have my ingrediants sitting there for when I'm ready to go but sometimes I don't get to brew when I think I can. So I was just wondering how long is to long.
