ive just put down a double batch of all grain golden ale on the weekend and i found a bottle of medical grade oxygen lying in my lounge room (dont ask :rolleyes: ) after transferring from my plate chiller to my fermenter and adding my yeasties i thought to myself hmm i wonder if i... so i...

reminds me of a saying my grandfather always used to say. "the poor man will always pay twice dan" meaning if you cut corners you will still have to spend the money you were trying to save,plus what you spent on corner cutting. badluck stu better luck next time

my list would include all the cast members from the sopranos,and theyd have to stay in character! just for my amusement

going back up home soon for my 30th,lookin forward to trying all they have to offer. have spoken to a few friends and the general feeling is that most beers arent too bad,but those commenting do enjoy craploads of xxxx heavy! cheers,dan

and know it would appear to the people watching from the sidelines that i am indeed a brewer by taking posession of my new march pump. :lol: ordered and paid tuesday morning and found it on my doorstep this arvy. excellent work to those who started this thread,big cheers to karl for being so...

i also need the bracket and plug,but i thought it was automatic with the order? who do we pay etc now that we have sorted this bb out?

my beers usually start around 1050-1060 OG because i tend to use 4.5-5kg grain per 21L batch. alchohol percentage i dont normally get too concerned with,so long as ive had a thorough fermentation im happy i did vote 5.5-6% though cheers,dan

any ideas on wiring diagrams for PWM-based controllers? im from the old school of "poor man pays twice" and "only build it once-to last" so i would rather play around now than have to rebuild it in 12mths because of a shortcut i took cheers for your advice L.C.,dan

thanks L.C.,i was sure that you couldnt change one without the other but thinking too much made me doubt my trade school teachings. the magnets are very centered,a ive used plastigage extended out from the edge of the fan to see which magnet touches it first,and theyre so close i cant measure...

for the more electrically savvy out there,i built myself a stirplate yesterday and used a LM317 and made the circuit below which i got from an electrical website,very similar to everyone elses but different resistors and pots. the question i have is that, with my limited understanding, the...

now kurtz,it would appear that my techniques in the past have not been that poor,as i have been obviously been doing something correct as far as my placings in our local brewing comps would suggest. i do believe that a silver and bronze respectfully in the "Brown And Stinky" category, as you...

i use a brush from Woolies called the "Bulldog". no sctratch and fits in the palm of your hand. sponges dont even go in our kitchen sink because of the grubs that live in them. easy peasy cheers,dan

hey guys,just found this nifty little number in a dusty corner of my LHBS. "what the hell is this Col?" i ask as i hold up a bag with some pvc pipe and a bit of brass tubing in it. "thats a rotating sparge arm,i thought id lost that years ago" he replies. so i takes it home excited as a school...

i was told by a very good brewer from a very good little pub in canberra that some hop trub in fermentation is good as it acts as nutrient for the yeast in its early stage of life. so much so that this particular brewer skoops out 50 odd litres of trub with a bucket after cooling the huge...

hey guys,just a quick "is this normal" type of question. made an AG lager yesterday which went into the fermenter at OG 1058. I added a starter i made of the Czech Budejovice WLP 802- which i added 2 vials of said yeast and made the starter to 2L. I noticed the starter took a few days to fire...

i bought mine from this place in adelaide,very cheap delivery too www.discountcamping.com.au with a round 9" falsie from ross it works a treat cheers,dan

lets not hijack a thread with talk of "whose font is bigger" id hate to embarass a new retailer!! cheers,dan

dicko the pureists would say that any infected keg would need all 'O' rings and seals to be replaced but i challenge that idea with the kegs of Lambic i have poured from my taps. obviously Lambic is infected to get the flavour but ive never had any strange flavours from the kegs used to serve...
