Thanks Jye, I'll make that my first port of call.

Will do -2 kegs were reco'd so the seals should be good... hoping that if they are breaking up their ok to consume, cause the beer inside the keg is too good to waste. :P

I am using an air liquide gas bottle so it should be good. The tap scenario sounds like a possibility but I have flushed the tap and lines several times since I acquired the gear. Maybe my keg/line cleaner chemical has just loosened the material inside the tap? Pretty sure my tape does not...

Hi all, my beer is kegging nicely with no probs other than occasional (particularly under higher pour pressures and toward end of the keg) I am getting a number of black bits in my glass. They resemble rubber, and on closer inspection when rubbed between my fingers they can be smeared. I...

It stains my fermenters temporarily but that's not of any concern. More importantly I have been using it in my MSB 11.5L fermenters as well. I have three of these and the taps all leak now after about 3-4 applications of double strength idophor. Maybe totally unrelated and they may just be...

Yea, I realise there is probably no difference but for a few dollars I would rather know for sure. Hoping to find somebody who will fill it in Sydney with food grade.

I have a few CO2 extinguishers around but am not happy to use industrial CO2... anybody in sydney using a converted Fire Ext and been able to get refills with food grade CO2 from anywhere? Also, is removing the dip necessary? can it be used upsidedown long term?

I decided to bleach the fridgy and just avoid the steel casing a bit - the last owner must have been stuffing pigs in the freezer without gladwrap - still stinks :angry: more bleach maybe Lucas, you had any luck yet find a chemical for the stink?

Hi all, just got myself a new brewfridge off ebay. It is only about 6-7years old but needs a good cleanout - mould around part of the seals, odours etc. My natural inclination is to use bleach since it will kill all the mould and odour. A little research has left me confused as to whether it is...

Yea, the fridge is maybe 20 years old. That's why I thought out on the back verandah with sun on it for half of the day it might be ok. As far as yeast goes I was going to use the kit yeast with the coopers brewmaster pilsener which I read somewhere is the W34/70. And now you know where I...

I was thinking setting up a timer so the fridge runs through the day and switches off through the night. Still thought that this method may end up cooling my wort down around 6 degrees while the fridge is running (at a guess)... will saflager yeast keep plodding along at those sort of temps or...

I have an old fridge that will eventually get a fridgemate hooked up. My saflager efforts at 18 degrees and 24 degrees have been acceptable but I am sure they will be so much better in a fridge. My question is will it be any good to use a standard fridge as a brew fridge simply set at the...
