Scored this bad boy from a retiring researcher who knew I was into brewing - impressive engineering. Looks like a big inline sight glass (pressure vessel?) - about 1 Litre capacity with an SS mesh at one end. The only thing on my system that runs at pressure is a serving line from the keg. I...

Hey Guys, This flyer just came my way (attached). No association and way over my head, but someone might find it useful. Cheers.

so..am trying to get this amicon keg up and running but I'm having some difficulties with the threads. The post has some kind of weird 3/8 tapered thread (doesn't fit anything I can find), with a 7/16 unf male adapter. The ball lock posts I've ordered are 1/4 inch. I figure I need some kind of...

Scored a freebie today - strange looking posts, not sure what to do with it?. More details on the base, googled it and it looks like the company still exists.

Our beautiful baby girl arrived last Wednesday afternoon! totally stoked! A good 7+ pounder of 53.5cm. But unfortunately she swallowed a bit of gunk on the way out and had to be resussed, during which one of her compromised little lungs blew out.. . . So.. a dozen people in the delivery room...

Hey Guys Anyone know if the fumes coming off the boiling wort are particularly bad for you? I'm just doing my brews in the house and there are lovely smells coming from the vapours off the pot ... Some of the old copper boilers I see pictures of have domes /chimneys coming off them .. were...

Just wondering if there are any Tasmanian maltsters and/or malt available to home brewers? Cascade claim on their website to source their grain from Tasmania? What malthouse do they use? JW appear to have an office in Davenport, but is it a malting plant? The Tassies certainly grow a large...

Not sure where to post this - Monteiths PA is on special at Liquorland for $14 a six pack (down from $20) get on to it lads it's a lovely drop and far better in my opinion than most. Be warned it's very easy to drink and won't hang around in the fridge long!

Mrs talked me into heading up to Byron today for lunch, I figure - okay lets go to the pub can't be that bad. Beauty, they've got a Balter pilsner on tap. I order one and it comes out looking a bit golden. That's a bit strange I thinks... Anyway, was a Carlton draught keg they've got hooked up...

A few years old, but an interesting article about the Farnham Whitebine hop. Also commonly available at that time was the Canterbury whitebine. http://edsbeer.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/farnham-white-bine-hop.html Hogsback brewery in Surrey is bringing them back apparently...

Hi Guys, anyone have any experience with electric aquarium chillers? I'd like to control fermentation temp better but don't really have space for an extra stand alone fridge. The aquarium chillers online start around $90 and claim to cool 20L down to around 10 C . Intention would be to cool a...

First tasting of my cold steeped stout today. 12Litre batch - I steeped 200gm Roast barley and 50gm Light chocolate malt in 2L water for 24 hours. Strained through a chux wipe and added to boil with 10min to go. (the mash was 1kg Ale malt + 1kg Pilsner malt at 66 c). It's a very smooth...
