My thermometer died mid brew yesterday, reading all "l" as the temp, tried new battery, hitting, swearing all to no avail. Just lifted the skirt and it had a broken wire from the probe to the PCB pad indicated by the screwdriver in the pic. Cables are wedding prick stiff Chinesium and flapping...

I don't have the bittering hops for my brew (Warrior) I just mashed in. Going to use the 7g of CTZ I have on hand and some home grown Chinook cones to sub 15g of Warrior, probably another 7-10g, not to picky on biterness for this one. Should I remove the bittering hops after say 5mins to...

To answer your next question I was looking up things on canine lymphoma and dental issues and ended up here. Seeing there seems to be a constant influx of q and a on cleaning and sanitizing solutions this seemed of interest. Long story short, general HB chemicals seem to be the go to plus a few...

Make sticky please mods and copy to cloud users. Seems pretty decent, scaling is a bit crappy bit a great resource to have saved on the confuser. https://www.yakimachief.com/wp-content/uploads/Yakima_Chief_Hops_Varieties.pdf

Long story short I've ended up with an estimated 432ppm sulphate in my latest brew, very hoppy Pacific ale with Pacific jade, Motueka and galaxy. Overlooked the original water sulphate level in the base water. Apart from the obvious harsh bitterness I had lower than expected mash conversion...

Short and sweet. I want to replace my keggle, any hot takes on the cheapest option for acquiring one in Brisbane? Thinking off hitting up AllInn next time I'm there for a damaged unit. Cheers!

I've got a keggle which is generally dirty from soot and storage. I'm going to use a citric acid based shower cleaner on the outside with 0000 synthetic steel wool and wondering what chemical / acid to use on the inside. Thinking mild kitchen metallised plastic scourer and white cleaning...

Prototyping my keggle setup, bought the burner (BG12) and keg off another member, done some improvement as the amount of soot was a bit of a giveaway to the efficiency and was just no good on the burn. I just boiled 35l (pre-boil vol. of water) in 45mins from the tap with no lid as I don't have...

Hi all, I've got a keggle with BG12 cast "banjo" style burner I'm fabricating a frame for. Having a bit of drama getting the air fuel ratio sorted. I haveve increased the jet to 2.0, reduced to 1.8 then 1.6 and have remover the air baffle / valve plate and tidied up the casting and enlarged a...

Got my hands on this from urban utilities. It covers Brisbane and the surrounding regions. Any more local specific data with mineral profiles is not available through Urban Utilities. "Unfortunately, for this comprehensive summary, we don’t have it down to localised areas. This is an...

I have some Chinook in pots around 800mm tall, trained on bamboo stakes. I'm only going to be at this house for around 12 months so its more of a hobby than expecting a yield at this point until I can plant in the ground in a long term situation. Question is if I hang some paracord from my...

Afternoon, I just scored a little chest freezer from hard refuse day, plugged her in and she's running like corn through a goose! Have my eye on 2 19l Cornys on fleabay, maximum use able height without modification in the chest is 640mm. Can probably modify the inner lid and get another 20mm if...

Hey guys, newbie from North side of Brisbane. Haven't got started yet but currently building a set up, researching, trying to educate myself around all the rookie mistakes. My plan is to run a TA4-SSR PID controller to run my old beer fridge with a heat belt / IR lamp, thermowell in the...
