Hi All. Im wanting to sell a 36L Forje pot and MM Dial thermometer... ebay and gumtree. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331972650816?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649...

Done. Thanks to everyone again. Some of the feedback here a little harsh but.... true I guess. Cheers. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Home-brew-mash-tun-and-HLT-Beer-/331777759924?

Thanks for the direct feedback all... I didnt know about the negative connotation for the 'BoD'... Seriously I just had no clue. Its worked so well for so long. Ill drop it from the sale and just try my luck with selling the tun with FB. ta. :mellow:

Hey guys.... c'mon this is bargain big time! Its 3/4 of a 3 vessel system for $160. I cant move it - its been up for more than a week on Gumtree and Ebay. Tell your friends - tell your enemies!! :) :)...

Hey Lager bloke. Mate I would think that this practice would be a waste of time ie letting sit to 80 and then into the pool. By the time its sat for a couple of hours and dropped to 80 I think (only what I have read I am no expert) that you lose a lot of your hop flavors - in laymans terms the...

hahahaha mate I copped the slap fair and square. I did run a search but came up empty handed as I know how much it pisses everyone off when new and wasted posts are re created. Thanks a lot for this. And thanks to the others who provided input - I feel as though this should improve my hop...

Damn.... I searched for it I swear. *FACEPALM*

Hi All, So today I cubed up a double batch with the old man again and all went well. It was a hot day here in Melbourne and after Dad left with his cube I just could not help but look at my cube and wonder 'how could I expedite cooling you down?'.... Enter the brain wave.... After leaving...

Hey guys. Just tapping into an old post here. Anyone had this before... I made a 1L starter of coopers PA yeast from 8 stubbies dreggs. Lifted to 2L a couple of days later - STIR PLATE. Pitched this yeast and normally for me after 24 hours it just about jumps out the fermenter to say hello...

AT the risk of sounding like a major bubble burster... Ive never understood why people would want to force carb. I could be being a noob here but for me every beer I have ever kegged takes a fortnight before it hits its sweet spot in the barrel (ales here folks)... If you gotta wait for it to...

After years of use a hot water service will build up a deposit of gunk on the bottom - this does however take years to occur. The gunk is settled though and comes into your hot water in absolute tiny amounts - not dangerous at all. I know this because recently I had my gas HWS replaced with a...

*** My successful whirlpool secret revealed here*** :) My whirlpool technique is full ghetto - I just give the wort a firm fast stir with a spoon for about 30-40 seconds and then put the lid on and walk away. Here is the secret - DONT LIFT THE LID. I dont know if there is physics to back this...

hahahaha this story has made my day. I started this thread too and am very proud of where it got to. Cheers all. Go BM!!!!!!!!

Definitely if you can leave a beer in a keg UNTAPPED for 2 weeks it improves dramatically. From 4 days old to 14 days old the difference is amazing. Its like the flavour bonds and smooths in that time. I have NEVER waited 14 days... not once :chug: After 4 days once I know its carbed im...

OK interestingly me and the old man brew together and take a cube each. I keg and he bottles... same exact wort, same yeast, same temps - one in the bottle and one in the keg. Here are the results: KEG: I can be conditioned and kegged and tapped in 3 weeks (ALE). I dont force carb and I...

Love a relevant post I can relate to.... I did this just the other night. Emptied keg and had a little cry about it (its totally normal to be upset when you open the tap to see only foam come out... right?) Started timer.... Disconnected keg and rinsed with hot water from the tap 3 times. Fill...

Mate same for me - anywhere 15-30 mins but I still had to setup the HLT and hoses, do two run offs to clear the wort and then pack it all up once done. BIAB takes about 30 seconds to complete the process - by lifting the bag. On top of this my results with BIAB give me a beer with more body...

Hey Everyone - thanks a lot for the feedback. Im glad to hear that I am not alone. So a few things... 'I also exclusively no chill, I don't understand why, if you didn't enjoy chilling you persisted with it. How is ot any different to BIAB? Surely it's just the extraction method that...

Hey All, Its probably a story told before but for me... wow. Have worked my way up the ranks to 3v AG brewing and spent a fortune alone the way. Ive had some minor success and a heck of a lot of failure. I was on the cusp of giving up brewing for good when at the last minute my old man...

Perhaps slightly :icon_offtopic: ..... IN regards to this post and this link (http://karlisbeer.blogspot.com.au/2010/03/top-cropping-yeast-from-carboy.html) does anyone here know where I can buy those little rubber lids for a carboy? To be honest top cropping does not really interest me but I...
