MMMM port royal rum n wine :D Just the ticket to get all the ex-smokers smoking again! Goddamn nicotine addiction!

I have 4 bronco taps and they work great. The kegs will see 100-150kPa for 3 days to 3 weeks before or while serving. Shake keg to speed up carbonation. Must be cold for carbonation to occur though. I use 2M of 6MM clear boston brand PVC line per tap. No funny smells or taste like dodgy bunnings...

Remember there's a compressor delay on the fridgemate, even when you first switch it on.

Still have a Malleys Tuckerbox that when I first got it, I tipped it over to get the old water out. Stood it up and tried to fire it up half an hour later, no go. The compressor would hum and get hot and then I assume the thermal overload would kick in a minute later. Got frustrated, grabbed a...

My first two AG brews I've done what Bribie described, I don't have a wort chiller and why decant into a cube if it can cool down in the kettle? I find the wort is a lot clearer the next day, all the junk has sunk to the bottom if its not disturbed and I siphon the wort off the top straight into...

I wouldn't own a HBS shop for the money :P Just for the fun of it. And then I would queue up at Centrelink :D

I have to say that K+K is the only way you can introduce someone into homebrewing. If you start talking about AG, pH and mash schedules their eyes glaze over. But when mates drink my standard Coopers Pale Kit + BE2 and I tell em they make it themselves in half an hour, two cartons worth for $18...

I started BIAB about 3 months ago, all I added to my equipment was a cheap 50LT aluminium stockpot, stuck a $12 kettle element in it and sit it on top of a $30 portable electric hot plate I already had. Got the missus to make the bag from a big circle of swiss voile with a cord sewn around the...

I use a fire extinguisher for my kegs and all I do is bump the handle until the hissing stops and the reg has brought the keg up to serving/carbonation pressure. I do this a few days in a row for a new cold keg and you can tell when its carbonated because you'll check it and the pressure gauge...

I remember seeing something on TV a couple of years ago about the germs and bugs in sponges, and the recommendation was to zap the sponge for 1 minute on high in the microwave to kill anything in it (I think!). I've tried it with a damp sponge and it gets mighty hot after 30 seconds. But I don't...

What controller did you purchase? I'm an apprentice electrician and I've had a tiny bit of experience with the Shimaden SR92 at work.

Just letting you all know that I went with the kettle element because I'm a total tightwad! I got a kettle for $15 from woolies and was able to get the guts out without damging the kettle in any way so if the element dies I can reassemble it and return it (12 month warranty!). The pot already...

What sort of pump would you recommend? Should I use a fixed element in my pot or just use an immersion heater because I can keep the pot away from the heat source? Would a 10L food safe bucket be big enough? I have one sitting in the cupboard! Thanks for all the help!

I read all 16 pages and really all I could glean was that poppa joe was using a cake stand to keep his bag off of a fixed element. I suppose I should have done a poll fixed element vs. over the side vs. kettle! Just want to get an idea of the pro's and con's of each. I don't want to go down the...

G'day guys I was wondering if someone who BIAB's could give me some advice. Can I even BIAB using an electric element and a nylon bag? What do people do so that they don't burn a hole in their bag?! I've got a 50L aluminium stock pot that I want to use for BIAB, what sort of element should I...

+1 for Ken at Ceasefire. Great service, great prices and great guys!!! I must remember to take a sample next time! Thanks to whoever got onto them in the first place. (I don't have any affiliation, I'm just a very happy customer)

Still got the kegs for sale mate?

Does anyone know where I can get a sodastream adaptor from in Adelaide? I live in the northern suburbs if it makes any difference!
