Yep, that was me [emoji23][emoji23] Im happy just playing the waiting game for now. I have heard and read about of back story and I found a YouTube vid with Kei from KL in a KK shirt. So I’m sure there is some juice gossip out there. In the end I don’t want to be aligning myself with the wrong...

All I wanted was a Kegerator while shopping at my LHBS and since some advice I was given by the staff, I now have been trying to find some truth to this “KK and KL” dispute. Looks like I have found it. I’ve been researching Kegerators for about a month and narrowed it down to KK or KL. KL...

How do I delete this post. I canceled after it wouldn’t let me upload a video?! ‍♂️

Just a quick video of my brew day. “I had canceled the upload as it wouldn’t let me add a video. I have linked a YouTube file to this post. Enjoy”

Yeah I can be the same way. I like to have it now and that is the plus f having the LHBS. But it makes my brain hurt that I can get it online from an Australia supply store front for half the price. It must be hard to stay relevant these days. I have a moral/wallet dilemma.

Totally understandable. But it a 210% mark up! Just found Cheeky Peak Brewery Albury and they seem to be spot on with online prices. Can get everything from them for $65. ‍♂️

Yeah Tanked84 it’s a fine line. I usually buy hops, malt, dextrose, fermenter fittings and bottles. I’ve seen a few bad products on here from China and I’m fully aware of the current quality coming from cheap eBay sellers. I think your right. Equipment online, ingredients instore...

Hi all. I love a good trip to my LHBS. I enjoy having a chat and picking up some odds and ends BUT, I just can’t justify the price of some of the items when online it’s ruffly 80% cheaper. A $35 brass Co2 adapter fitting no rounder than a 20c coin and no higher than a matchbox is $14 online...

Hi there MICK. Just noticed that no one has replied to your post and thought I’d offer my very limited suggestions. I’ve been brewing for 4 months so I’m still very green when it comes to the tech side of things but here is something I found. I’m thinking of this kit but using the...

Just a quick update. I’m ganna call this a success. I’ve been rolling the bottles because I noticed the 4 lines and Coopers Pale Ale booth have a slight cloudiness to them (I know right, after all that trouble I went to). Beautiful hop aroma with a shaft NEIPA bitterness. I’m super...

I know this is an only post but I must agree. Black Rock let me down. I’m ganna go against what I’ve said before and say that, apart from the nutrasweet taste the Brigalow kit from Big W packs more flavor. And at $14 compared to $36 it’s an expensive experiment. I’m going to have to back...

INKBIRD HAS LANDED!!!!!

Yeah. I’ve only been brewing 3 months so all is new to me. I’ve been able to brew in room temp pretty easy but this is the first brew that i bit off more than I can chew. LOL

Hi there. Currently I’ve ordered one. It should be here in the next 2 weeks. It has hot and cold side plugs. The current fridge can’t be used as it the second family fridge but was the only option I have to try and get this brew within temp and hopefully save it from failing. I’m looking...

Hey all. Just a quick “WTF” moment that has lead to the purchase of an Inkbird and a heatbelt, with the purchase of a brew fridge to come. I wanted to knock over a few lagers just to bulk up my brews and have a few on hand. I headed to BigW (LHBS is 25 min each way and that’s to the East of...

Hi everyone just an update. I decided to cold crash and it drop a lot of the cloudiness out. I wanted to speed up the proses as I had a hop bomb in the fermenter that I didn’t want in for anymore than 4 days. I bottled with a small amount of haze but no where near what I had 2 days ago...

Cheers Hou5ecat I don’t have a racking bucket but have thought about one for back sweeting my ciders. I think I’ve got some good advice now and think I’ll be better prepared for my next brew. It’s amazing how quick your brew kit expands when you want to do more intense brews. Thanks again.

Cheers mark. I’ve been looking at the inkbird systems and trolling gumtree for fridges (no freezer so I can brew 2 at once) so that is a must. I think this is the best temp control I’ve had in 5 brews as it has sat at 22 (mostly) and haven’t have to force a temp drop. Days in Newcastle have...

Hi brains trust. Looking for what you might do when faced with this fermenter. My question is (I will explain what went into the brew underneath) I’ve dry hopped in a Tea defuser, 10g Of cascade on day 4. Now I have a dark clear top and a milky bottom in my fermented brew. Should I rack...

I found the FB groups a tad abrasive, might just go it alone. YouTube is a wealth of knowledge. Cheers.
