I was intending to mash and boil so I'll try and replace the thermostat it think

Yeah it could be homemade judging by the fittings it looks like it's been around a fair while too but I don't know of it's previous use. No idea of the wattage I'll open the control box tonight and see if there are any clues

60L I can't find anything at all on it indicating brand or anything.

Hi, I acquired an electric kettle which I tested yesterday. I put 35l of water in and set it to the highest setting. It took 38mins to get to 70*C from 20*C I pushed on to see how long it would take to get to boiling point but then it cut out at 80*C I would like to us it for my boil though...

Hi there, I am brewing a 27L batch of Orange-IPA at the moment using BRY-97 Ale Yeast, 4.5Kg of Briess Sparkling Amber Malt, 1Kg Caramelised sugar, 1Lt Orange Juice, 133g Orange Zest, 200g of Amarillo, 100g of Azacca, 15ml of natural vanilla extract, and a couple of other things from the garden...

Ha, All good nosco

I will come out on Saturday sometime and pick up the bottles if that's still ok? Are the pint bottles good for a higher carbonation volume? if so, I'll grab them too. Cheers!

I just spoke to the guy selling the barrels. Most were intended for furniture, some were rinsed/cleaned others still had wine residue, a couple of brewers got in early and took some after inspection. He reckons he's going to have a few more runs coming up and he's going to put the word out...

Ah yes, I read about the soaking and re-swelling. Thanks for the directions, I've printed it out for future reference. With a quick google I found a place nearby that sells potassium metabisulphite $7.50 per 500g, pickup from their warehouse. They also do the citric acid for 12.95 per Kg

Great info thanks, I'll see if I can find out.

Hi all, I am looking to buy a wine barrel to make sour style beer in. I've found one I'd like to buy but I have a couple of questions> How long is too long between when it had wine in it to when I fill it with wort? The one I have found is a burgundy-style barrique, 228L for $220. It had wine...

Alright, I had originally thought I would need 29mm caps and then I read a forum thread that suggested maybe not. No biggie.

Cool, do they take 26mm crowns?

I'm out in Lilydale but it would be a good reason to take the kids to Werribee zoo sometime over the weekend

That'd be great! I could deliver a couple back to you once bottled? I'm only on my second batch as a brewer so I don't have any previous bottles lying around

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can get about 40 used champagne/sparkling wine bottles within the next couple of weeks? I have a cherry saison I want to bottle with a higher carb volume.

Sound advice, Cheers fellas! :D

Im out in Lilydale
