And the last of the gear that will be surplus to requirements after the COVID-inspired brewery reconfiguration. Spiral LPG burner with its stand, Medium pressure regulator and hose; perfectly sized for my current 70L Robinox boil kettle. Some surface rust to the metal stand. $120 for the lot...

Lastly, a hop screen made by Beerbelly in Adelaide, back when they were fabricating a bit more custom-built home-brewing gear. This is a hop screen, which screws onto a 1/2" BSP thread with a compression fitting. It is perfect for my 70L Robinox kettle (which has a diameter of 44.5cm). Still...

Hi, The brewery reconciliation continues. Up for sale is a 65L SS conical fermenter, 1/2" BSP fittings including rotating racking arm inside. Purchased through Keg King around 2010. Well looked after, no SS defects of note inside. $350 To go with it: a tall 'Future' brand (UK) fridge- this is...

Hi all, The COVID lockdown has prompted me to reconfigure the brewery, with a bunch of new parts on the way. So I now have a lot of stuff surplus to requirements. I'm in Brunswick in Melbourne, and would prefer local pick-up. Obviously it is not possible to come and pick them up for now due to...

Hi- I have a few items I'm hoping to get moved on: - 210L Westinghouse Chest Freezer, 915mm high, 720mm wide, 655mm deep. Stopped holding low temp 6 months ago, but still holds 12 degrees (and has done since July): would make a good fermenting fridge/ British ale fridge. Free to a good home. -...

Hi all, I put down a BDG Gavroche-like beer 10 days ago, fermentables as follows: Wey Munich 64% Wey Pilsner 16% White sugar 10% (boil) Light Muscovado sugar 10% (boil) Mashed at 63C, (confirmed dial temp with digital stick temp), OG 1.076 (a few points over due to better than expected mash...

Anyone got tips on where to source a secondary CO2 regulator? Want to put on a keg of soda water for the pregnant misses... Usual suspects (G+G and CB) don't seem to have any. I have a Harris CO2 regulator. Thanks Remi

Hi, I'm fermenting an American Rye Brown IPA, and am planning to add some oak in secondary. I will also be dry hopping in secondary (I use a conical). I would usually dry-hop for 3-4 days prior to crash-chilling. It is a 42L batch, and the plan is to add 100g bourbon-soaked oak chips, which...

Hi All, I was interviewed for a Channel 31 beer/wine related program called 'Top Drop' a couple of weeks ago. I missed it on the night, but the video is now on their webpage for 'catch-up' viewing. Hopefully I've given the world of homebrew a good bit of promotion, without crapping on too...

My 210L chest freezer appears to be on it's last legs...struggling to hold 5C. I had the same thing happen a year or so to my previous chestie (after approx 2yrs of service). Was able to find the same model as a replacement and so could re-use the same collar. Now this freezer has started...

I've got 2 chrome Celli's on my chest freezer. They are 3 years old. The left one has started leaking since I cleaned it 2 or 3 months ago (a phenomenal amount of crap came out of the insides). Ever since then, I can't get the tap to seal. With the flow restrictor set to off, and the handle...

Just after some advice. I'm planning on an all B Saaz (Motueka) Lager in the next week or so to make use of the cold conditions in my shed- probably all Pils malt, maybe 10% Munich. I have a Hop-back that I am keen to use for the first time. I will bitter as normal, but am wondering how to best...

I have been annoyed by an odd flavour in my recent Red Ale which I only noticed towards the end of the keg. Switched over to a keg of Bock when the Red Ale ran dry (which was brewed a few months ago), and noticed the same unpleasant flavour... Took the tap apart- whoa baby! I didn't think it...

My new hop randall will arrive this week. Despite extensive searching here and elsewhere i've found it hard to answer a couple of specific questions- such as: Is there a limit to how long hops can sit in a randall? For a given amount of hops, is there an amount of beer that flows over them...

My 210L chest freezer has slowly died over the last few weeks- struggling to keep 10C, re-gassing attempt unsuccessful. Thankfully, I've found an identical replacement, so will just change the collar over. As such, I have no use for the old one- so if it would be useful to anyone, you are very...

I'm after some advice regarding rainwater tank pumps. We've recently moved and now have a 2500L rainwater tank in our back yard. The tank has no pump at this stage, so watering the garden with it takes agesue to the low pressure. I also plan to use the tank water for cooling when I brew (I use a...

Having just returned from some time in New York- I thought I'd share a couple of great beer places that you must check out if you are ever there... Firstly- Blind Tiger: 281 Bleeker St, New York. The night I was there, they had over 30 beers on tap- the vast majority being craft beer from the...

I'm planning on doing a version of Dr Smurto's TT Landlord clone next weekend, and was wondering what the best substitute for Wyeast 1469 would be- assuming I can't get my hands on any? Open to suggestions... Thanks Remi
