Thanks, that's helpful.

Good to hear. Anything you know now that you didn't when you started that would be good to pass on? I'm leaning to Fermentrack with a thermowell sensor + iSpindel to start with, then add in the relays for heating/cooling control later and can expand to multiple ferment chambers/vessels later as...

Hi there. Just getting back into brewing after a 10 year break (give or take). Last time around I had a thermostat controlled brewing fridge, another kegging/conditioning fridge and brewed with kits. This time around I see a lot has changed. I have a couple of iSpindels on order, I have a fresh...

All sorted. Many thanks br33zy!

Nice. I'm back in it. Just picked up a starter kit today and ready to go :D

Hi there. I'm getting back into brewing after quite a break. I'll be passing by your way tomorrow and would love to take them (and pass them on to the next brewer if and when that time comes). I can swing by Sunday afternoon if that suits? Cheers...

OK, thanks Chap, will take it to PM. Fridge is gone pending pickup. Cheers...

Hi all. After a separation, I need to get rid of my brew fridge. It's a standalone fridge (no freezer), with metal shelves and I think I even have an adjustable thermostat to throw in. I brewed in here, and then transferred to kegs to pour from. A bit dusty/rusty as per photo, but it's cold and...

These have both been taken, thanks to Kris and Tim! I got some PMs on Friday about these. Thanks all!

OK, we are about to put our house on the market and need to clean up. This means my keg fridge and fermenting fridge have to go. They are about 400L each in size, combination fridge/freezer. You know, your standard household fridge. Both work very well, are pretty ugly to look at, but do the...

I got my extinguisher from Steve, good job too. It's almost time to refill, can you take it back to Steve, or is there another place closer to the city that will refill extinguishers?

just emailed an order to Jayson in Sth Qld. Hope I'm not too late, should have just squeezed in!

Don't know if we'll get a reply from DaveR, he hasn't been on here for a few months, from what I can see. However, I think he posted in another thread that he got his from Blaze Fire at Loganholme. I just went there today. Sounds like they have had a few enquiries from home brewers lately. DaveR...

Just trawling some old threads because I just got myself a keg syetup, but need a gas cylinder. DaveR, where did you get your extinguisher from, and how much?

I have the earth connected to the mains plug that goes into the wall socket, and also to the socket that the fridge plugs into, but not attached to the thermostat. Should I rig that up too? In Justins diagram, and someone else who posted a photo of an EGO thermostat wired up, the earth is not...

Hi all. I thought I would give everyone a heads up about the thermostat I found at www.actrol.com.au. (Actually, I went to Annerley Home Brew in Brisbane and they pointed me there) It's a Refco -30 - +30 job, 15A, SPDT and it comes in its own plastic box with knob and 1 "grommet". There wasn't...

OK, cheers for the advice. I guess I will just wait it out. They are *slowly* getting firmer...

You would think that. The brand of cider kit that you can buy in supermarkets (they also make ginger beer kits) contains malt, as does the ginger beer. Any other thoughts on why the secondary ferment is not working? I have put a couple of bottles in the room under the stairs where the hot water...

The taste was quite good, if a little thin. The reason I am brewing cider is for the gf, who has coeliac disease, and therefore can't drink beer (due to the malt and barley). Is the William Tell kit gluten free (the Black Rock kit contains apples, nothing else. other cider kits I've seen have...

Hi there. I bottled a Black Rock Apple Cider on 24/11 into 740mL PET, with the "large" measure of dextrose into each bottle. I can tell from squeezing the bottles how much gas in there, and at this stage, it doesn't seem like much at all. ie. the bottles are quite "squishy". However, there have...
