Is the urn a Birko? They have had alot of issues with leaking urns over the past 6 months. Return it to your place of purchase (if it was bought new) and they will give you a replacement. Craig

The 2A is a good mill, I have used one for the last 12 months and it works fine. I just got sick of running the grain through twice, once on a wide setting then once on a closer setting, with the 3 roller you just set and forget and run through once. Really only a pain when doing double batches...

The hopper holds approx 5kg. The hopper plans that come with all the Crankandstein mills only hold about 1-2kg so I basically doubled the size. Wobbo

Got my new Crankandstein from Fred the other day took 4 days. All up cost inc freight was $300 for the CGM-3E 3 roller. Just made my hopper and base for it. Cheers Wobbo

The Jaycar unit you are talking about is an old unit. The new one as detailed in this months Silicon Chip mag is a dedicated Fridge freezer temperature controller and can do heating or cooling. It has just been released in in a kit format for $39.95 and they obviously havent updated their...

Saw the kit today in Jaycar for $39.95. Cheers Wobbo

Debee, I run a copper on natural gas from my bbq bayonet on my deck. I just went to southern plumbing and bought a 3m hose and a NG regulator all up cost me about $50 and just replaced the lpg hose with the new one. Works a treat and never have to worry about running out of gas. The burner on...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions where I might source some of these at a cheaper price than $18.95ea :( as sold by Grain & Grape. They are called a "Taylor Type" with an external thread on the base and seem to be different to those sold by morebeer that suit the...

If youre talking sanitiser, I use idophor to sanitise the Therminator. Dunno if thats the Aus equiv of PBW but it works. Cheers Wobbo

Is this porter recipe a clone of the JS? It doesnt mention it. Cheers Wobbo

Just ring Dave on Monday and ask him to measure it for you, or send him an email, I think it would go pretty close to fitting a 5gal keg. Wobbo

What about the 18Gal "Keep Cool " round esky on Goliaths website? They are in Adelaide so freight wouldnt be too much.... Cheers Wobbo

Already tried that and couldnt find one, hence the request! Wobbo

Hi, Looking for an all-grain recipe for JS porter clone, has anyone brewed one that comes close? Cheers Wobbo

Just bought this one off ebay the other week. Its a 2 stage Eliwell ewpc907t. Was from the US but is 240/110v switchable :) Only cost $60 :) Wobbo

Paid $295 and it included a Thrumometer and postage as well. I believe prices have gone up since and they are now selling them for about $365. Thats why I would be buying one direct from the States, they dont weigh that much - about 5 kg so postage wouldnt be prohibitive. Wobbo

Even though I got mine from ibrew and was told it would come with Australian fittings, it only came with the standard american fittings as described by john above. This was no problem however as I just bought some 3/4" to 1/2" garden hose adapters from Buinnings to sort out the water side and I...

Its a Therninator. Bought it from ibrew in QLD, although should have bought it direct fron the States would have been cheaper.... Works excellent, for a single 23L batch it chills as fast as I can gravity drain fron the boiler - about 6-7min all done. Double that for a double batch. Best...

Yeah its an old "Malleys" brand gas copper they used to be used before washing machines. Ive converted it to Natural Gas so never run out of gas. :D Holds 55L & comes to boil very quickly. Bought it from an old lady in Melbourne from thre Trading Post. :D Wobbo
