Cant afford a new one at the moment so wondering if anyone has a old one laying around that they would be willing to sell cheapish. Cheers.

Jist looking for hops and grain in sydney, where is a good place to get it. Cheers.

done my first all grain batch this morning, it was biab and everything went well :D :super: i used 5kg of pale base malt. 32l into keggle 21l into fermenter at 1040 so im pretty happy with that, could have gotton a couple more litres if i didnt move the siphon hose and stop the flow, oh...

Ive had a coil of 1/4" copper laying around for years and years, wondering what i should do with it, after a bit of googleing i discovered that some people have successfully made an immersion chiller from 1/4" copper, not ideal i know but it was free and thats important to me. I have no idea...

Today i picked up 5kg of milled up pale ale malt and some nelson hops, im hoping to get time to try out all grain brewing over the weekend. Any suggestions on hop additions, quantity and time ect? I have had this insulation that is heatproof laying around for years that will be handy "one day"...

I have an odd keg lid with a faulty relief valve, i have replaced the valves on my other kegs (plastic screw in type) and have asked a couple of homebrew stores in the area and they cant help? Am i up for a new lid or is there hope out there?

After much thought and research, id like to give this a go. I have a keggle, a 3 ring burner with stand, im not really sure about the stability of the stand though so im going to fix that problem. The keggle needs a good clean, i cut the top out of it about 5 or so years ago and its been...

Ive just gone to the LHBS and picked up some new seals and some poppet valves, i tried to put the new ones in but they wont stay in place? Apparently these new ones are universal? They are different to the old ones, do i need the same as the ones i pulled out? Please help. Cheers.

Today i got a new boc 6000 regulator, it only had a flow guage on it so i took that off and replaced it with the psi guage from my broken keg king regulator. I just need to find my gas seal tube because there is a slight leak where the gas line runs into the kegerator, but otherwise all is good...

I was cleaning out another keg this morning and noticed that it had a small tube from the gas inlet, the one i cleaned and filled the other day didnt have one. How necessary is it? Should i degas that keg and put a short tube in the gas inlet? Or can i just relax and not worry about it? Cheers.

Very Old Westinghouse unfortunately i dont think corny kegs will fit in it. They might if you take all the shelves out. It is bloody heavy and runs well. Just needs a good clean. Free to a good home. A bottle or 2 of your finest would be nice but not necessary. Pickup asap. I can help load it.

I just got home from work to find the regulator at 50psi. I know that noone has touched it. It was fine all night at 12psi. What would have caused this.

I have a coopers pale ale kit in the fermenter @18°c today is day 8. I would usually bottle today, well yesterday actually, sometimes id bottle after 2 weeks in primary. but was wondering what if anything i need to do differently for kegging. Cheers, HBK.

I think ive fixed the co2 regulator that i got with all that free stuff the other day I took it apart and cleaned it out, and fixed the faulty low pressure guage. It is now working so im pressure testing it overnight and will see what happens. They really are not very complicated at...

Im cleaning up the kegs and kegerator i got the other day and ive just removed the taps to find this mess. Can i pull it all apart and soak in nappisan overnight? What are your thoughts?

G'day i haven't been on here for ages, im still brewing though and jist had to tell you lot about the awesome score i got yesterday. I got a keg king series 3 dual tap kegerator, 5 kegs and 3 2.6kg co2 bottles. Apparently the regulator is stuffed but i cant see any problems with it. Will do...
