That's promising! I'm not that familiar with Braumeister-type brewing, I'm aware of them but have never seen one in action. Just when I thought I'd run out of things to watch on youtube…...

Wow, this is an old thread, but I've just completed a 'wet trial run' with a new brewing setup that will employ a reversed 'bottom to top' wort flow through the MLT. The brew length will be around 120 litres of finished beer, which is why I've tried it with just water first - I want some data...

Hi All, Sorry for not updating the wiki, I haven't really been keeping on top of my forum-monitoring lately (or my brewing for that matter). I've been otherwise occupied the last couple of months - it's mainly work that is interfering with my internet-browsing time actually (I suppose they ARE...

I might slide on down to the 'Sheaf for a glass of ale after work too.

As mentioned above, sounds like a slow leak. A re-gas would fix it for a while, but I understand fridge techs are required to find and repair the leak before they can re-gas. I think this is for environmental reasons, so there is not just refrigerant getting consumed and leaked into the...

Done, printed some off. Just gotta remember to bring 'em.

I'll come round with my entry on Sat morning around 11am, might be feeling a bit shady though. Don't worry about me for food, I've got to get some stuff done in the afternoon and I'll bring anything I need to eat. Cheers, catch ya's there.

Check your atlas Paul!

I just had a look on the 'Calorie King' website. To compare two common beers, one low-carb and the other not: Carlton Pure Blonde 375ml 4.6%abv: Energy - 469kJ Carbohydrate - 3.4g (13% of total energy, balance is from alcohol) Carlton Draught 375ml 4.6%abv: Energy - 581kJ Carbohydrate - 10.1g...

Balance is not a word that applies to beers such as this. Actually, if the hops used were placed on one end of a plank, and the grain on the other, then it would balance! :P

Is there a get-together or anything planned to taste these beers? I'd like the opportunity to try some of the Reds brewed by others.

Holyshit, I haven't got onto the forum in a good couple of weeks and a whole case swap has been organised, planned, spots filled and everything!! Gotta love that eagerness!! I need to get a beer into this one...(pending natural attrition).

I have also got a smack-pack of this in the fridge, which I can divide in a week or two once I get brewing. Will post up more once I know when I plan to brew it. Cheers.

When I sent the recipe through to Phil, I forgot to mention that the starting gravity you should aim for is 1.055. This beer is at the upper-end of the Irish Red style. Happy Brewing!

No worries with the pick-up Pok.

Thanks mate, I might even try to come and grab them this weekend. Can you PM me your address and maybe a phone number? Cheers, Holty.

I just whacked my name on the waiting-list for the swap. Only 7-and-a-bit weeks away, better think about brewing if you haven't started yet!! I'll be getting one ready in case a spot opens up. I'd love to grab a few more empty long-necks off someone if they can spare them, I'm about a dozen...

A year or two ago I bought a new 200 litre chest-freezer and made it into a kegerator with the addition of a collar and fridgemate temp controller. I stand to be corrected, but I suspect it has dropped some of its refrigerant charge (contained 110g of R134a when new) as the compressor is...

They make a fair point about the CO2 regulator, my mate bought one recently and the reg it came with was shite, not compliant with Aust. standards and had very poor pressure control. Also, his came with pin-lock kegs and fittings which were shite too. I'm not that familiar with pin-lock...

I actually stayed at that Chifley for work trip a month or two ago, completely unaware that there was a micro there. Imagine my delight upon rocking-up and seeing the sign pointing to the micro-brewery and bar downstairs! The sad thing was that I had already made dinner plans, so there was...
