Getting out of the game, been too long between brews and would rather free up the space and get some cash... It is with regret, but just don't have the time or enough interest anymore to make the time :( I have a Gumtree ad going -...

For sale are 6x 1000ml used round flat bottom flasks. There are 2x Schott (Germany), 2x Pyrex (France) and 2x Quickfit (England) as pictured. As far as I know only used in a school lab. $60 for the lot (not splitting at this stage) - Pick-up from Chermside West afternoon/evening or Fortitude...

What happens if my little thermostat wire breaks? Will it stop the urn from working? I'm wondering if I should just bypass the thermostat now since I don't use the urn at anything less than full speed. As you can see it is quite kinked and gets bent around a bit from cleaning and I assume it...

Brewed last night and after I washed the bag I hung it on the line like usual. This morning I had a bird in it. Isn't there some old beer recipe with a chook in it?? I wonder if a noisy miner would do?

I recently went to kegs and am selling most of my bottles, check out my gumtree ads: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/chermside-w...50ml/1009374004 http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/chermside-w...bies/1009374414 If you're interested in them mention you're from AHB and we'll negotiate a better price...

I KNOW I have read it somewhere here on AHB but can't find it now... What is the size of thread of a crown urn sight tube? I pulled my urn out to brew today and the tube is snapped off, shit. I took the day off work to brew too! It looks about M6 to me, but i've been off the tools for years...

I mashed my phone this morning, shiiiiit !! Well dropped it into the mash (BIAB) so it didn't just sit on top... Straight to the bottom like a stone. Phone is most likely stuffed, washed and de-watered it with alcohol as quick as possible though, we'll see. Unfortunately with these things...

I just cracked a Veltins Pilsener that was 4 years 4 months past its best before... The cap was rusty and it had about as much carbonation as a Mild with just a slight hiss when I opened it. It was surprisingly pale still, until the sludge plopped into the glass, I was expecting it to have...

I'm interested to know where people who wax seal their bottles get their wax from, and for how much? Only place I can seem to find sealing wax is plasdene, but they have $100 minimum order and costs ~$30 for a 850g block. Waaaaaaay more than I need. Ebay seems to have smaller quantities of...

So, I made a 3 litre starter a bit over a week ago, with a view to using it a few days ago. But with leave at work being cancelled, and shovelling shit out of peoples homes on my days off with regard to the floods in BNE I have not been able to brew, and will probably be minimum 1 week before I...

I am going to make the oatmeal stout recipe from brewing classic styles, it calls for 51g of EKG, I happen to have 45g and don't really want to buy another bag of the stuff just for the extra 6 grams. I don't have an aversion to EKG, i'm just interested in playing with more ingredients etc and...

The in-laws have just presented with a case of champagne with re-sealable plastic caps - basically a rubber/soft plastic stopper and a sleeve that slides over to press a ring of tabs around the neck of the bottle to grip it (I'll take some pics if anyone is interested). Naturally my mind goes...

I have a (legally acquired) keg I want to use for BIAB and I am unsure which way to go with electric elements and Im hoping some input will help me make up my mind. I have already been stung (literally and figuratively) with a dodgy immersion element so want to do it properly. I.e. I dont...

I have two 25L detergent cubes that are too big for me. I was hoping to trade the two of them for 1 or 2 10/12L cubes to satisfy my partial BIAB activities. In order of preference I'll also consider for 2x 15L FWK cubes or 2x standard 20L cubes. The 2 cubes have had 'Machine Dish Liquid' in...

Shameless plug of my eBay ad selling 76 crown seal stubbies Cheers

I have 2 FWK cubes that will be going in the bin on Monday... If you want them you can collect from my house in Chermside West. They haven't been cleaned from when they had fresh wort in them (about 3 weesk ago), a napisan soak should get them like new I guess. What do others normally do with...

I've had a brew down for 9 days now, 19-20 degrees the whole time (in fridge w/ temp controller). I opened the fermenter to have a peek and it stinks like a fart, think lager yeast sulphur odour. From this brew I have decided to stop racking to secondary to reduce handling etc and had planned...

In the AHB community spirit I am giving away my dodgy digital scales. It is Soehnle brand, the button broke after about 6 months, i've had them 2 years... I thought Soehnle were good, i've certainly had excellent Soehnle scales in the past, maybe I had bad luck or maybe it is just the top...

Howdy folks, I am planning on putting down a Kronenbourg 1664 clone of sorts later today/tonight. I'm doing a toucan coopers lager (picked up from recent IGA special) with Saflager S-23, I was planning on doing a 10 minute addition of Strisselspalt and also dry hopping again with...

Just wondering if cider will skunk like beer does in clear glass? The cider was made with apple and pear juice + yeast + yeat nutrient.
