Awesome, will give them a try tomorrow. Thanks!

Does anyone out there know where to get a CO2 bottle refilled in the Aldinga region? I'm here for a few days holiday and must have had a leak and I'm empty! Rookie mistake! Cheers!

Agreed. Wish I new about this 2 weeks ago!

Yep, wired it up and the speed is perfect for a 1L starter. The pot does not seem to change the speed of the fan but I'm not too concerned as it's doing the job at the moment.

Just wired up a $1 (yep, one dollar!) 80mm fan I got from MSY. No idea of the volts or amps but it works fine, although the pot doesn't seem to change to speed at all. Not too concerned at this stage cause the stir bar sticks and the vortex is ok I think. Perhaps the pot is too big at 5000ohms...

Thanks for everyone's help. Think I'll grab a cheap fan from msy tomorrow.

It's a pc fan from an old Dell tower. Might try and find another one from work

Ok thanks. I tried a 12v 1A but it didn't spin at all. So it's the amps that's the key? Sorry, told you I knew nothing about electronics!

Hi all, I've been trying to build a stir plate but having a lot of trouble. Followed many posts but still no luck. My fan is 12v and 2.5A My power supply is 9v DC and 1.5A When connecting power directly to the fan it keeps getting faster then eventually cuts out. I tried adding a potentiometer...

Doing a version of Dr Smurto's Golden Ale this week. Then I want to do an IPA. Then a Porter. Then a Brown Ale. And so on... :) Glasses are from kogan, $20 for 4... https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/4-pack-ovela-double-wall-summer-drinking-glasses-330ml/

If anyone is interested I thought I'd post the results of this brew. I actually surprised myself at how good it tastes :D A great start to what may become a very time consuming hobby... just don't tell the wife! Posted a pic below, turned out a bit darker than I intended but still tastes...

Thanks for everyone's advice, much appreciated. Think I'll go the munich malt extract and add some simcoe at flame out.

I've read conflicting posts regarding steeping munich, mostly point to mashing, or at a least mini-mash because they're a base. I actually did a batch at ubrewit a while back where they steeped munich, although it was only 150g in a 50L batch so probably didn't add much. In fact most of their...

Thanks Stewy, appreciate the reply. Might go with the Briess LME at this stage. Get a few under my belt before a mash.

Have a 20L pot so was thinking about a 15L boil

Hi all, I'm getting ready to do my first brew next month. Been doing lots and reading and getting awesome info from this forum so thought I'd try my luck and ask for some expert advice on the following recipe. Loving the new James Squire Hop Thief #7 so wanted something similar. Website says...
