    O2 Cylinder

    thanks Mark, I actually meant vitality, not viability. To many V words. I was hoping for a quick, cheap, easy fix. Sounds like one of those rare occasions there isn't one.

    O2 Cylinder

    Yeast viability is the thing nagging at me currently. What is available to home brewers, which is effective and won't cost me a third kidney?

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    If you read my post it said it was applied BEFORE I chose a payment method, and just to confirm, your website is a sad joke, has been for over twelve months. For a company that has worked so hard to do what you've done, it's hard to fathom why you choose this debacle as the major interface...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    payment fee? Ive given up on the 360 core regulator. I was going to order a few other bits I need, when I get to the checkout there is a payment fee! This is before any payment option is selected. I decided to put my order in the queue way way over there.

    MillMaster v MaltZilla Mills

    when i upgraded my mill i was heading to a millmaster, but when i found out how much they have gone up in price stayed looking around. I ended up with a mattmill. Awesome bit of kit, full of German know how and comes with a fair amount of gravity so you know there is some serious metal in there.

    Co2 Leaking - Had Enough

    for the same reason as you I won't usr push in fittings. I got some good quality 4m id for beer line to shorten them up, and used the clips. Never will I forget the pain and anguish of shoving a Mack truck up a drink straw, but I have no leaks, whereas before, it was a matter of which push in...

    First Stout - it's gone berserk!

    so, explain then, why was there a volcanic like eruption? I would have thought it self evident that the yeast went bat shit crazy, just luvvin the balmy temp. A vey simple statement was made. It stands as fact on its own merits, an nd doesn't need or want qualification. To say it is wrong, and...

    First Stout - it's gone berserk!

    I disagree with Grimblz, and agree totally with Philrob. Yeast love higher temps, it just makes for not very nice beer flavours. Lager yeast don't enjoy being kept so freaking cold, they just manage to keep chipping away, but it's why we have to pitch more of the little wonder makers.

    Purple hot break

    My understanding with rice, which is not a cereal, where dyes may be used, is to trace the water and therefore chemical flow from the crop into the surrounding waterways to avoid contamination, and even then this is done in experimental plots, not as a day to day practice to give confirmation...

    Purple hot break

    Broad acre crops like cereals are never sprayed with a dye. It is commonly used when spot spraying to mark individual plants that have been sprayed. Think a patch of blackberries or briars or the like. In broad acre situations either a foam marker is used, where a blob of foam is dropped from...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Nah, Vic is right. Your website is horrendous. You have customers here highlighting basic errors and relying on them to report back you. A potential new customer or one not familiar with your range will just say it's too hard and find an alternative.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    The one which is starting to bust my chops is trying to wait for everything I want to order to be in stock at the same time. The freight options are pretty expensive so trying to cut down on that is important, but geezlus waiting for three things to be available at once makes herding dyslexic...

    Protein levels in spent grain?

    A by-product of the ethanol industry is a product marketed as DDG (dried distillers grain), this typically runs around 20% protein for the reasons discussed above, but can vary wildly depending on the original grain which was malted and then fermented. The DDG is sold as a meal or some of the...

    C02 - Rent or Buy

    Good advice Neil, Ya gotta do the sums. In my case I use just over one 6.5 kg cylinder per year. Unless I get a leak, so it works well for me. As I said, nags for tracks.

    C02 - Rent or Buy

    My LHBS is about 3/12 hours away, OK, there is a Country Brewer one closer, but they won't fill my bottles stamped Keg King but with a Kegland sticker on them. My local BOC agent is 1/2 hour drive away, as Bonenose said, 6.5 Kg bottle for $70 rent per year with a free refill. Courses for horses...
