    FS Various HDPE fermentors + Fermentasourous - Central Coast NSW

    I realise these things probably aren't worth a great deal second hand, but I'm in need of some cash and the fermentasourous alone has gotta be worth something? Looking for maybe $80 for the lot, or make me offers on any of the bits and pieces. All look ok inside, just pretty dusty and dirty on...

    Can't seem to find the right part.

    Does anyone know what size thread this is? I'm not having any luck searching for a replacement. It's from an SSBrewtech carb stone attachment for my unitanks. The problem is, the thread on the other side of this thing is way too big for my Co2 hoses which I normally run an 8mm (ID) hose...

    Thinking about getting this racking

    Thinking about getting my hands on the 200mm wide version of this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Matte-Black-Metal-Warehouse-Workbench-Shelving-Rack-Work-Bench-Stand-Workbenches/122549321276?var=&hash=item1c88823e3c Do you think that would safely hold a 50L HLT, 50L Mash Tun, and an 80L Kettle...

    Variable wattage controller?

    I have a herms system with a 2200w in my HLT which I currently control manually by simply turning the element off/on at the wall to try and maintain something close to temperature. I let it get my HLT up to temp, then turn it off, let it drop a few degrees then turn it back etc etc. It's not...

    Where to get water treatment salts?

    Hey guys, it's been a little while since I've posted anything, slowly making improvements to my processes etc. I thought, for my next brew I'd have a bit of a play around with some water treatment. I got a water report from...

    Hops taking off again

    So... first year hop grower here, and I can't find where I read about this now. But somewhere I read that after you harvest your hops you can trim the plant back down to the ground just about and it should lay pretty much dormant until next spring. So yeah, I harvested all my hops in two...

    Adding Brew Enhancer to under gravity brew

    Hey guys, had a nightmare brewday yesterday and have ended up with 40L of wort at 1.026 OG... pretty keen to bump this up to at least 1.035 (it was meant to be a session ale of sorts). the only thing I can get my hands on is the coopers brew enhancer. Is that going to be ok to add at this...

    Inkbird IPB-16 controller

    Just recently (have done one brew) started playing around with a makeshift herms setup using my old copper chiller as the coil. Brewday didn't go too bad, accept I had no way to automate the control of my HLT temperature. Initially I had planned on using my Inkbird ITC-308 which I normally use...

    Half-moon krausen?

    I'm not particularly worried about this, but just thought it was interesting. Half my krausen is one color while the other half is another. I found another example of this here too: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/half-moon-krausen.419398/ The light half in my case is towards the...

    How to dispose of spent grains?

    As the title says. Currently, I have been dumping my spent grains into our green waste bin, but the main issue with that is that it is growing some sort of crystal-like green mold/fungus, and it also seems to attract tiny little fruit flys or something. Worried that the mold/fungus might cause...

    Is it stuck?

    Hey fellas. Another question for ya. This is the first beer I've been able to ferment controlled within my new freezer fermentation chamber. I've got the controller set to 19°c, and it appears to be coming along nicely. It has however been 7 days today, and it's still looking pretty active. I...

    Got myself a Mill

    Pretty excited to have gotten myself a mill for fathers day, so stocked up on some grains too. I need to share with someone, and my wife isn't all that impressed, so thought I'd post a pic here. All ready for a brew night tomorrow night.

    Another disappointing beer.

    Hey guys, Probably a long story: You might remember the last meet up I brought with me my second BIAB attempt to try and get some feedback on a pretty distinctive off aroma and flavour. I was calling it "campaign like", but a few of you guys had some other ideas. Anyway, in the end, I think...

    The emails are getting through.

    @n87 Just remembered I said I would check, and yeah, it seems the emails are getting through. Not sure why I thought they weren't.
