Hi Guys, I was cleaning out the brew shed and remembered I had the bits and pieces for one of the garden sprayer kegs. Now I have the full size system, I have no need for these and happy to offer them up to anybody looking at building one. It took a lot of running around to find all the bits...

Hi Guys, I mainly use Joe White Ale and Pilsener base malts for my ales. When I use the ale malt I usually get a nice clear beer in the keg after a week or so, however if I use Pilsener as the base I almost always get a bad chill haze that hangs around for ever. Rather than use post-boil...

Hi Guys, My keg fridge only holds two kegs, which is currently full. I have a third brew that is ready to keg this afternoon, but probably won't make it into the fridge for at least another week. Which option do you think is best: 1) keg the beer, purge the headspace and simply leave at room...

afternoon all, When I got my kegging system it came along with those simple stainless hose clamps that are meant to be squeezed together with a pair of pincers. I am making a few changes to the system and need to buy some more of these. Is there something easier to use than these and cheaper...

Hi Guys, I have an old Porta-Keg, like the image below. As you can see in the pic it has a plastic holder for a small soda bulb to push the beer out. Can anyone help me with the following questions: 1) Exactly which type of bulb does it need? 2) How do you regulate the flow of Co2 into the...

Got the go ahead to go and buy a Marga Mill, so keen to go and buy ASAP. Is there anywhere in Sydney that I can pick one up, or am I best just to order one from Ross and pay the postage? thanks guys...

Evening all. I brewed a simple Aussie ale on the weekend, mainly pilsner malt with a touch of carared then some POR first wort hopped only. Was going to pitch a recultured coopers yeast tomorrow, but it has failed to take off and I am going to turf it. Is there a dry yeast that will get some...

Hi guys, I know this might be a stretch, but is there anything worthwhile visiting (Brewing related) in Singapore and/or Hong Kong. I'm off there on business in a couple of weeks. Thanks

Brewed an APA this weekend, and everything went to plan...really happy. Then realised I forgot the bloody Whirfloc which was obvious from the very cloudy wort into the fermenter. I have never used Polyclar before, but will this do a similar job of clearing things up when added at the end of...

Guys, I replaced some of the cold side tubing in the brewery recently with the cheap and nasty clear vinyl rolls from Bunnings. For the life of me I can't get this stuff to straighten out enough to be useful, it just rolls back up again even in shorter lengths. Any tips?
