An odd one, I know. Offering the box and all inserts/packaging that 20L Braumeister comes in. Perfect condition. Was about to take it to the tip and thought it may suit someone looking to re-sell their Brau and/or who needs to put theirs in storage, shipping, etc. Pickup Albert Park/South Melb.

Hi Gang It's that time again, when the ANHC rolls out our Melbourne Pairing Dinner. Each year since 2008, the ANHC (Australian National Homebrewing Conference) has selected a handful of the most highly acclaimed award winning homebrewers in Australia, and along with the William Angliss...

I have 40kg of JW Export Pils for sale. Surplus to my needs as a mate just gave me a bunch of alternate pils malt. Grain is fresh from the most recent G&G Bulk Buy. Has always been stored covered in black bins, in the most stable room of my house. First $40 takes it. Private Message and...

Hi Fellas, looking for direction here. The boss at work handed me down an old motor used in our auger. It's Italian with the following specs: It looks like: M: 80/ACS HP: 1 N:0394 kW: 0,75 min-1: 1700 V: 240 A: n/a Hz 60 V: 450l n/a uF: n/a Ser: S1 IP 55 COS: 0,99 CL: F Does this min -1@...

I'm considering the purchase of a 6 gauge (Taprite) regulator/manifold for use in dispensing. The manifold will allow for individual pressure control of each keg, rather than pressure stabalisation common to gas manifolds such as this: The seller has taken the manifold apart, cleaned...

Just stumbled on Tom Robbin's newest book, B is for Beer. Anyone read it? It's been probably a decade since I've read Robbins and now that I have kiddos kicking about, this seems entirely appropriate bedtime reading :lol: Here's how the book begins: "Have you ever wondered why your daddy...

Noticed someone put a boxing stand on the nature strip around the corner from my house. Thought of the BIAB'ers who have moved into double-batches and need a hoist/pulley type system to pull the bag from kettle. This looks ideal; add a pulley and yer pretty much ready to roll :icon_cheers...

Hi all I recently picked up a metallic character coming from my left tap. At the time, I put it down to the beer itself (as in, the beer was faulted). Erring on the side of caution and also chasing a mould problem, I did a full tear down and clean including beer line replacement (C02 lines...

Hi all I stumbled on these Lavazza powdered chocolate shakers in the coffee section of Coles ($8.00/ea): Now, initially I was thinking they'd work great for dry hopping in the keg, being stainless with no hinges like many tea balls.. have a decent weight to them where I'm guessing they'd...

Anybody used WY2450 Denny's Fav 50? I grabbed a pack in store at G&G some months ago, MFG. 06JUL09. It was partially (approx. 1/2) swollen at purchase. In fact, of the 6 or so on the shelf, mine was the least swollen where I could still feel the nutrient pack. It's been stored in the bottom of...

Hi all, I just force carbed my APA using the Ross method. After 60 seconds of 300kpa, I turned off the gas at cylinder and continued to rock (where pressure normally drops and eventually stabilises around 150kpa).. This time however, the second I started to rock (after Cylinder off) the...

Hey guys, I have a reoccurring issue where green mold is coming up in my taps. The first time I'd noticed it (where my tap deposited a healthy dollop of gunk into a nice bright pilsener <_< ) I stripped everything apart, gave everything a solid "toothbrush" clean with soapy water to iodophor...

I braved the horde of masses this morning to visit CostCo, Docklands Melbourne. Pretty much only the big boys were on offering - Cascade, Coopers (pale only), Boags, Crown L, VB & Carlton and pricing was not flash. I'd at least expected to find Interbrew Stella or the like, but nope. Prices...

I've been approached by a writer from the Age who is working on an upcoming feature article on beer and homebrewing, for the Epicure. He's trying to track down relatively reliable figures on how many home brewers are in Australia. Any ideas of who he can contact or? From my point of view...

Hi gang, I have a relatively annoying issue where my MashMate controlled HLT is regularly blowing fuses. I blow 1 or 2 fuses each brew day at no significant point (intermittent). I have wired the MM with inline 10A fuse, as per LethalCorpses' diagram: I have omitted the optional master...

Hi Gang, I recently relocated my March 809 from the right side of my brew frame to the left lower area as shown: The pump was mounted vertically, so to speak, so that in was down output/up, whereas now (again shown) the pump is horizontal, in on left/out at right. As a quick...

Buggered atm :angry: I'm at the start of a brew-day, with approx. 60L of water filtered into my HLT... filling to 100L. I pulled the hose off the HLT to rinse a white bucket and found the water very dirty brown, almost green in colour. Rang SouthEast water immediately to report a fault. The...

Anybody got a 9" falsie kicking around they're no longer using, upgraded, etc. ? Bit of a long shot but figured someone out there might have one they want to offload before I buy new. Cheers, reVox

Hi gang, I've built a simple splash guard for my March 809 utilising 4" PVC: A couple of side shots: I'm wondering for those using a guard, what size of PVC did you settle on? Any heat or overheating issues with 4"? I'd selected 4" as I had it around the house. The day I finished the...

Got a package from Mum yesterday, who lives in Denver. She included an article from The Rocky Mountain News, The 12 Beers of Christmas, featuring the author's pick of his 12 favourite festive beers, including review and food pairing options :icon_cheers: My scan, a bit hacky in how I put it...
