Put down a Cascade Golder Harvest lager kit, some crystal grain (steeped and boiled), 1 kg Dex, some golding hops (all I had) and used the yeast that came with it called Bohemian. After 5 days there is virtually no movement in the tub. At first I thought the yeast might have been a lager yeast...

Hi Rabs, I've got one you can have. Only used it once. Haven't used it since last winter. Didn't find it that useful. Got it from Anaconda in Sydney. It's blue. All yours if you want it. I'm in Sydney, vchead

Great set up. This should be a link where we can access for all those questions we have about AG brewing VC

My then 4 year old was helping Dad brew and had the job of tipping the strained hops liquid from a plastic jug into the wort after everything else had gone in. Left with instructions something like 'Just chuck that in' as I turned to find the yeast, my boy took the instructions literally and...

Thanks guys. I know it sounds amateurish but I have always used the FG as a guide but this is the only time in 18 months I have seen the Krausen hanging around with such a low FG. Still not sure why. Need to bottle this week. city morgue 2 are you there? Cortez? VC

No dry enzyme. FG same over 2 days but just wasn't sure why the Krausen hadn't cleared. Thanks, VC

Thanks Mika. What's a PM?

Sorry everyone but I have been searching for some time now. I want to know how contact editors to ask IT/account info. I want to know if you can change your nickname while maintaing you current account. Cheers R

Thanks for the pic Dingo. Go Roosters, R

Hey Dingodidit, Can you post a clear picture of that oil heater you say you bought from Bunning? Cheers

I use pantihose to hold the grain while steeping. Give them a light squeeze as you pull them out of the water before the boil. Wife did look at my strange though when I came home from store with packet of cheap pantihose for myself, R

Thanks everyone. I just went to Jaycar as they are right near me and found the kit. When I took it to the counter they asked me a few questions about my experience with electronic componentry and then declined to sell it to me. They said it was a complex kit and required some level of...

When you wire in a Fridgemate (the blue one with the red digital numerals) are you just doing the same thing, ie, installing a device between the fridge and the power point? R

Think I might have just worked it out. The fridge actually plugs into the unit, is this right? Does this mean its turning the power on and off all the time? If this is right then the freezer would turn off too. Does the fridgemate that you wire in affect the temp in the freezer as well? R

Thanks Cortez but still not sure how they work without being wired into the electricals of the fridge. (I'm not very good with electrical equipment) R

Hi Brewers, I'm considering an external thermostat to control temp in spare fridge. I noticed the thermostat pictured in attachment for about $120 that claims that no wiring is required to install. How does this work? Can't find any other info on them, Cheers, R

Thanks Cortez. Excellent. R
