Wow... I'd love to get my hands on one of these puppies.. I am assuming around the $700 mark for the 56L model with butterfly valves?

Well, as some of you may know, I am getting closer to my AG days with 80% of my gear setup. The only thing is - I have NO idea what to expect from the beers. I understand they are 100000% better than K+K but I would love to know, rather than just guess (if that makes any sense) Ideally, I...

Awesome. Simply Awesome. Gives us young whipper snappers something to aspire to. I am soooo lookiong forward to getting number 1 under my belt, but it seems that is going to take forever. Again, awesome work Doc.

I just got mine from Bunnings - around the $15 mark.

And one more opinion just for good measure: I leave it in primary for about 5-6 days (until fermentation is complete) Rack to secodnary for about 2-3 weeks. Harvest yeast cake if necessary. After secondary, I put it in CC for about another 2-3 weeks. After CCing, I send her into the keg, force...

I like your idea GMK. Might see if I can incorporate that...

Yeah, I was wondering about that... but I;ve had a look at other designs and they vary from 4 metres to 8 metres. I could always run the wort at say 500ml per minute and cold water at a faster speed. Anyway, I'm sure I can adjust things to get it to work properly, if not a bit slower than 23...

Well, actually thats not true. Australia may not have marauding bears, but we have heaps of deadly/dangerous animals. Croc's, sharks, cassowary's, snakes, spiders, blue ringed octopus, irikanji box jelly fish (not sure how its spelled), mosquitos (ross river fever) etc etc etc. Maybe not along...

I don't know what the grade is, but My brother used a titanium bit to drill 5 holes in my kegs. It took him an hour per keg and the drill bit was absolutely smoking hot by the time he was done.

TL: heh... well I don't know that I'd be able to sell them competitivley. Mine cost $70 to build, and Goliath sell theirs for $80. For me to make any money off them I'd have to be able to sell them for $70, which would require making them for around $50 or even less. Nice idea though. As it...

I also forgot to mention, I had to drill the lip out of the inside of the coinettte union with a 3/8" drill bit. It is meant to stop the 3/8" pipe from going all the way through, but I wanted it to do that obviously..

Well, the copper comes in a loosish coil anyway. I straightened it out as best I could, slipped the copper in the tubing (which was no mean feat I might add)and the nput on all the fittings.once everything was in place, I just rolled it up by hand. I made 3 big loops first and then just gently...

Well, here it is. Mad Matt's hombrew CFWC. Made from 4 metres of copper tubing, 4 metres ofhigh temp clear PVC tubing, a couple of elbow joints, some conetite union thingy's and some hose-clamps. Not to mention a masacred garden hose :lol: Getting closer to my AG setup day by day. Oh yeah...

Pr1me, that sounds awesome! Can you post a recipe? I've never tasted, let alone brewed a porter. I'm getting a bit tired of my standard ale recipes. The toffee chocolate porter sounds like it would be a real treat! If I wanted to see what porters are all about, what do you recommend me trying?

Can I ask a really dumb question? When you attach a CF wort chiller, do you recirculate the wort back into the boiler or straight into the fermenter? My initial belief was you ran the wort from the boiler into the CF wort chiller and the outlet of this goes straight into the fermenter.. Is this...

"Now im saving my pennis to get mine soon " o_O *blink* Saving your what? :)

Thanks sosman. Thats exactly what I needed! Your a champ! So far I've got the mash/lauter tun together, and Can pick up some great 3 ring burners from a campibng store for about $39 each. Just had a thought. For a sight glass, I could always create 2 bulkhead fittings with brass elbow joints...

Surely someone has seen something floating around?

Howdy all. Been following things on here for quite a while. I've managed to source some stainless steel kegs (2 in total) to make a HLT and a boiler. I need to attach taps to these (obviously) and would like to attach a sight glass to them (at least the HLT). Does anyone know where to pickup a...
