Can anyone tell me if the cinnamon in the JAO recipie is true cinnamon or cassia?

Mine has been in operation for about 2 years and still has a mirror finish. I run a napisan or PBW wash, followed by sani clean and then a final starsan cycle. I completely forgot about the odd 14-31 temp range. Annoyed me when I got it but I'm over it now. Then again, I mostly brew ales so...

I use the thrumometer in line job. I have a valve on the water line going in and the thrumometer on the wort line out. This works well and the thumometer is very easy to clean as it's basically a short length of polished stainless pipe.

Chopdog, All I have found available in brew stores here in Aus are the dual pressure gauges that connect to the bottle. I suspect you are looking for something to install inside your kegerator? I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has an Aust source for these stand alone secondary...

I have played with the iPhone version... but not actually brewed with it yet (fermenter is full). However it is basically a direct port of the Mac based BeerAlchemy software that I use all the time ...and I like that a lot. Yes it supports extract brewers.

BeerAlchemy Touch. It's new. I expect a few issues but so far it looks awesome

I have a bleed valve at the top that I find useful for encouraging things along sometmes.

I mounted mine on a vertical slide to allow me to adjust the height as needed.

Yup it's bloody fantastic. Pick of the bunch. First one for me. Impressive hop aroma and a very sessional hop / malt balance. Pint #2 on it's way with a slab of pork belly.

A1. Yes. And I am very happy with it. A2. Nope. Not in the slightest. A3. Nope. Never had an issue. Interesting fittings. I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has used these and how they perform. I started with the plastic cpc fittings and found the seals needed replaced too often...

Regarding charity suggestions. Have you considered Canteen? They seem fairly open minded about fundraisers. On their A-Z of suggestions "W" is for Winery Tour.

I hear ya... but I was looking for red meat. If they would only add some porterhouse to the menu I wouldn't have to go anywhere else. Getting mighty hungry though and just phoned a joint that looked alright to find out what craft beer they had on tap... "what?...er we have some James Squire...

I feel the need for a beer & steak lunch. Anyone have a tip for a spot that serves up a decent steak and some craft brew in the Melbourne CBD or thereabouts?

Welcome aboard. 1. Press and hold the SET button to enter set point mode and select your desired temperature (I generally set mine at between 4-6 degrees). If this doesn't bring you joy then: 2. Double check wiring against some helpful step by step FridgeMate guide 3. Double check settings...

Yes I'd guess something similar but was expecting I would find a recipe on here or the net somewhere... But my search turned up nothing. Clearly not the best drop on the planet but I expected someone would have tried it for nostelgic reasons.

Bump. Also on the lookout for an Speight's Gold Medal Ale clone (AG). All I can find are some general style guidelines for NZ draught beer posted by by reviled recently: Thread Someone on here must have tried to knock one of these out?

How old is the beer? I've had some fairly nasty phenols using that yeast that cleared up in a couple of weeks.
