My brauduino controller, (Matho's), has been sitting in my workshop not being built for far too long. I'm not going to build it, so it's time for it to go to someone who will build and use it. Its in the originbal packaging that Lael and the others used and has only been taken out to admire...

I bought this old derby electric copper from a guy off gumtree a few months back, (His Italian mum used it to boil up her preserving jars). I wanted to use it in my brew setup some way. well after a long wait a little research I think I will try to make a braumeister clone with a bonjuino and...

I have some plastic petri dishes and small plastic bottles/jars that have been sitting in the shed for years waiting for me to have time and motivation to use them. That hasn't happened so its time for them to go. The petri dishes are 90x10mm gamma sterilized and come in a pack of 20 say $10...

Calling all taswegians. Just wondering if there is anyone interest in a bulk buy for some rice hulls. I've only rung up one place and they quoted me $170 for a 120kg bale. Thats a bit too $$ and bulky for just me. Dug

I want to brew some wheat beers, but there is a problem. Tassie HB shops don't have rice hulls, nore do any stock feed places... except if i want to buy 125kg bale @ $170. are there any substiutes for rice hulls. Could I wash out and dry some spent grains in order to get the barley hull? 2...

I'm planning my next brew, a barley wine :icon_cheers: I haven't actually brewed one of these before so I'm not real sure how this looks. I'm after a fairly dark very malty brew, hence the B special and crystal. But I'm not sure on the hopping schedule. the reason for using northern brewer...

Just harvested my hops today :) got 130g of columbus, not bad for its 1st year. But I got 1.8kg off my unknown variety bine! I'll post pics soon so anyone else harvested?

Just wondering if there is much interest out there for fresh hops of an unknown variety? I've used these hops in a couple of brews now and the results are a nice hopy beer kinda resiny flavour (i'm no wine tasting expert so can't come up with any wanky ways to describe the taste and aroma)...

I have a crap load of hops on my plant this year, way more than can be stored in my freezer. And the other day as I was musing over a harvest ale, what would be a good way to extract the flavour and aroma components of hops? Would a steam distillation work? or perhaps a cold butane extraction...

I had an idea the other night as I was feeding my 2 month old at 3am. Would the beer filter that Ross sells on craft brewer be able to be hooked up to a vacuum pump? I was thinking that the vacuum could connect onto the gas line of the keg. So the beer would go from brew barrel through the...

I been thinking about my next brew. I have just come into a few passionfruit, well lots :). and this has got me thinking. I've made some brews with very nice passionfruit flacours in them, so what do you think of helping this flavour along with a bit of reall passionfruit? I would probably go...

I want to build a movable brewey setup for AG. I would like to get other people input as to which pump would be better. what are the differences btw march and Peristaltic, and how are they best used? I see the advantage of Peristaltic not needing to be primed, but is thatreally an issue?

Just letting all hobart brewers know that BBY has re opened its store at 51b main rd Moonah, kind of opposite the asian supermarket. They don't have much stock in atm as they ran it down to make the move easier, they told me they would be up to full stock levels very soon. Geoff is sounding...

I've got a Raspberry old bruin that brewed a little while ago, Its an AG version of one I did last year that turned out great. But I want to do something different with this one. I want to get an oaked flavour into it. So I've bought some french oak chips, but I don't know how much to add and...

Hey all, I'm so pleased with myself I'm watching my first AG bubbling away nicely. The recipe was a simple one, bits of grain and hops that have been left over from previous partials; 3.9kg Pale malt 0.46kg munich 0.25kg crystal Mashed in a 20l drink cooler. 60mins at about 66'C then mash...

This is a mill I made from an old washing mangle. She works a treat, though it is hard to crank <_< The rollers are metal pipe which were pushed over the old rubber ones. The hopper is made from an old laundry cabinet.
