I can't really answer your first question........I just spray mine with Starsan and add it after the boil. As for getting it out, I use one of those telescopic magnetic pick-up tools - also sprayed with Starsan.

You could also try giving the grain a light squirt with a spray bottle of water before milling. It works for me, but does make cleaning the knurled rollers a bit more work afterwards.

That is a bugger! The price of the cans has come down though. They're not making it easy for those of us still sitting on the fence.[emoji43]

I'd say the alligator clips are not connected directly to the battery terminals, but to some sort of metallic strip which then slots into the terminals. Something like paper clips might do the job. Have a look at the AEG charger contacts and see if you can find something similar.

I fill mine up with empty cans & bottles, then take them to the recycle depot to turn them into cash, then turn that into more brewing supplies.

Beer Belly have a good variety of grain in 25kg bags at decent prices.

I think the top part of the posts on those kegs has a smaller diameter than those disconnects are used for. I ran into a similar problem when I bought some more pinlock kegs online. When they arrived, I noticed the posts were wider than my original ones. I ended up getting some of those plastic...

It might be possible to get away with it in SA. There's no barcode required here and we're allowed (even encouraged) to crush the cans before taking them to the recycle depots. So if you are able to crush them enough to make them indistinguishable from a commercially canned beer/soft drink etc...

So did anyone actually get to buy one of the canning machines? Yesterday the site said they would be available from 10/2/19 (today).......today they are "out of stock".

I think it was 202 for $39.95, so roughly 20 cents per can. I would have been more than happy to pay that, but at 50 cents, that's me out.

Perhaps you've been a good boy, but your maths could do with some work.

I've been wondering the same thing.

Donald Trub was looking for the dimensions of the fermentasaurus fridge, not the fermentasaurus itself.

I've had 5 of the smaller diameter post pinlock kegs for 25 years or so. I bought 4 more online a few years back and when they arrived, the first thing I noticed was the larger post diameter, so my disconnects weren't going to fit them. I bought 2 sets of the larger diameter plastic ones and...

That looks fantastic!

Great idea, especially if it's got the 10cent deposit refund in SA/NT printed on it. That would bring the price down a bit for some of us!

.....and me!

500ml cans for me.

Plenty of them on eBay. I bought a bag of 7 or 8 different sizes for 10 bucks or so a few years back.

Yep, just use a few litres less water and if you want to keep the same alcohol strength, use a bit less sugar/DME/dextrose/brew enhancer. You'll end up with a fuller flavour, a little bit darker and perhaps a little more bitter than what you're used to, but that can't be a bad thing.
