I recently upgraded to a Beerbelly Mash Tun, so my Keep Cool Esky Mash Tun is spare. If there is anyone out there on the hunt for a 36L Esky all fitted out with stainless bling here's your chance. So that's a 36L Keep Cool Esky, a 9" stainless false bottom, 4" Mashmaster Thermometer...

Anyone looking for a Free Double Door Fridge? There's one on the footpath of Kneale Street in Holland Park West. Saw the lady owner putting the sign on it as I walked past 10 minutes ago. Apparently I;m not allowed to have another fridge, so here's hoping someone from AHB manages to nab it...

In theory, stirring the mash a couple of times during the mashing process should increase the enzymatic activity, i.e. the enzymes are moved around to areas within the mash where sugars are still present that they can work on. I'm looking for some ideas that I may be able to apply to my own...

Hi all, I have a recipe for 4% AA Styrian Goldings to be added at 20 minutes for flavour. The only Styrian I have are plugs and they are 2.6%. 1 4% Plug (15gm) would give IBU's of 2.7, 1 plug of 2.6% gives 1.8 IBU. Is it worthwhile popping in two 2.6% plugs? I'm not concerned about the...

Hi all, I just fired up the HLT for todays brewing and it's tripped the safety switch. I reset everything and it happened again. My first thought is there is an issue with the element and it'll need replacing. Does anyone else have some suggestions as to what may be the issue? The unit is a...

If anyone can help me out with an AG Paulaner Hefe Weisen clone recipe it would be appreciated. One of mates happened across the beer on the weekend and has decided that I need to make it for him. Cheers, GT

Last weekend I planned on buying a keg fridge and taps from Ross @ Craftbrewer, but unfortunately some scrag decided to run into the back of my car on the Expressway, so I needed to keep my cash in case something popped up, like needing to hire a car while mine got fixed. So instead of picking...

Tripped my way down to Craftbrewer this morning to pick up gas, reg and fittings to keg my beer. Was in the process of cleaning two kegs and fitting new seals and went down the garage to get a second keg. Opened up the keg fridge to check on the two brews that were chilling and found them both...

The boys at BABB's gave me a ribbing the other night about my dinky little motor I had tried to run my Mashmaster Mill with, but that very night I'd picked up a 240V motor from a scrap pile. The motor looks like this: If anyone can decipher the details on the stamped plate and let me know...

Finally got my bits and bobs together for the gas line from the bottle to the burner today (damn stupid stores not stocking 1/2" to 1/4" reducers!!!) Anyway. I have a brand new Robinox Stainless Pot for use as a Kettle, and would like to know how I'd go about seasoning it, before I use it to...

I was wondering whether or not there was a use for a thermometer on a kettle? Apart from showing the temperature at which your boil is rolling along at, which IMO is irrelevant so long as it's boiling, what other uses would there be for a kettle to have a thermometer attached?

Hi all, Just fiddling around with the stainless braid for my mash tun at the moment. I have a 2m length of 1/2" braid and can use virtually the whole length in the tun like so: Note I would need to cutoff about 200mm of the length to match it up with the barbed fitting. Is it worthwhile...

Hi all, Been trying to source some 3/4" stainless steel washers for my mash tun conversion, but have not had any luck at the local hardware, irrigation or fittings stores. Have even resorted to seraching chandleries online to find some but without any luck. Anyone know where I can source some...

Looking for the details for a Bottleshop in the Eastern Suburbs of Brisbane, south of the River. Just spent the last half hour trying to find the post from Ross where he mentioned picking up a bunch of beers. Apparently they stock a good range of English beers. Anyone help me out? Not much...

I spent Easter down in Victoria visiting family, and on one of the drives down to the Valley I spotted the Yarragon Ale House on the way out of town. It was closed when I went past, but I promised myself I would make a stop on the way back through. With 101 beers available, home brew supplies...

Might have missed if this has already been posted: Apparently from the same mob that gave you the Kiwi's dancing through the field representing a bloke drinking a beer ad.

Hi all, Had a look at AndrewQLD's Hefe recipe this morning as I'm a fan of that type of beer, but it involves different steps in the Mashing regime. As I have an esky tun, this wouldn't be an easy prospect, i.e. gas burner wouldn't work ;) So how does everyone else go about changing the...

Hi all, I'm looking for a table or equivalent which gives reference to the size batches that can be done in specific kettle volumes. i.e. 20-23L batch in a 40L kettle, double sized batch 40-46L in 70L kettle. Or working the other way, what can be made in a 50L kettle, or a 20L stock pot. And...

I know this has been covered in the Pub section back in '06 already, http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...amp;hl=pigs+fly, but I thought my comments would be more approriate here. I was in Sydney last weekend for a tournament and on Friday picked up lunch in Coogee. The local...
