After reading your brewing situation, it's actually critical that you stay. Your beer is going to get nothing but better with what you're going to pick up from these threads. I recently met another brewer who lives on a boat. He bottles in plastic for the convenience and also uses 9.5 litre...

The Ultratap has a pretty cool feature that I just learned about/ found out about quite by mistake. If you just barely crack open the front seal on the tap by pulling the handle ever so lightly and firmly after the pour, you can control a perfect crown of foam from lip to lip in the glass...

Thurston, me, has never made a racist statement on any forum. Ever. Please let me know what you think I said that was racist in the very few posts I have ever made here? Give me dates, time, post with the exact wording that I was alleged to have made... I expect this will be pretty easy for you...

Or just manufacture the tap properly and balance the system so everything pours correctly. Really interested to see the results of your triple tap test. You would need way more than one of each tap type to make that test work right and eliminate variables, not to mention the same beer in each...

I said Ultrataps have fewer parts not fewer 'moving parts'. That's true. There is more going on inside an intertap when it comes to seals/o-rings and olives.

The Intertap photo is missing the other couple of parts that are seated inside the tap body. There is another black o-ring and another white cap/ring.olive thing that aren't showing. both taps have that bigger black o-ring on the back of the tap. The intertap shuttle also has a removable o-ring...

Mash Maniac, I've made about 5 posts on this forum so far and you have by far responded with the most unwelcoming, hostile, foaming at the mouth ranting that I've seen. What is your deal? I don't claim to know everything about taps, I'm just sharing what my experience is, but you seem to be...

Just got an Ultratap. Fewer parts, excellent pour in the shop. Haven't hooked my own up yet. The shop guy showed me one broken down and it is very different/less complicated than the other tap they had. Very solid build. Bigger shuttle. They could have come up with a better name that is a...

When are you going to buy your taps Quinny?

Really happy to be kegging. There is the little issue of being able to top up your glass constantly so you don't actually know how many beers you've sunk. But, when I say issue, I mean first world issue. The initial cost to set up can be a big hit for some. You can get second hand kegs, 2 for...

Very interested in this yeast for doing meads, braggots and high temp, fast fermentation. Haven't tried it yet. Does it ferment clean and neutral or does it impart high temp kind of flavours?

Have a Mongolian burner with the high pressure regulator. It is like running a jet engine, boils full batches of 70+ litres no problem. But the blackening is still an issue on the boil kettle. Also the jets are a bit skewed and the flames will lick over the sides of the base making getting too...

Voyager malts are also looking pretty impressive. There is also a guy in central Victoria who is malting a lot of stuff that isn't generally used in 'normal' beers and he's doing it all himself out of hertitage variety grains. Likewise, check out Colorado Malting Company's offerings. They used...

I'm a big fan of the Gladfield Toffee malt. It really shines through even in small amounts. Plus, it's a really interesting malt when it's fresh. Kind of has a chewy, sticky quality to it and is delicious just to eat on its own.
