    Welcome New Moderators 2013

    Yep, good luck guys and girls - the moderation seems a little heavy for me so I think I'll spend my time and effort elsewhere, but I hope the new site all works out in the end.

    I'd buy 2 in a heartbeat, throw away the last plastic in my brewery and dump my fermenting fridge out with the hard rubbish.

    Yep, it's called counter-pressure bottle filling (CPBF). Plenty of info on this topic.

    Wobbly, that machine is ONE HELL of a fermenter. Truly it is. Temperature control, pressure control, convenient yeast harvesting, sampling, and even serving if you really want to. I'd say that the manufacturer calling it a brewery, and then peddling extract kits to run through it, opens it up...

    Kink in beer coil

    I think you should try it and see. I'm tipping that compared to all the indignity of a corny keg disconnect, a little kink like that isn't going to upset the beer very much at all.

    Kink in beer coil

    I don't think it'll make the slightest bit of difference to be honest. If it really bothers you, just cut off the last coil and the kink with it.

    I'm actually not 'against' the machine. I live for beer bling. As long as everyone understands what it is and what it isn't. And by 'everyone' I don't just mean the OP (who clearly does), I mean anyone else who might find their way to this discussion. Correct me if that isn't a big part what of...

    Fitting/Adaptor Problems with 4 tap Cobra Font

    I don't know whether Fatlock and Snaplock have the same thread. I do know that on a 'Parisienne' font I rebuilt with Snaplocks just recently, I was curious to see whether my Alumasc taps would screw directly into the font. They didn't, at least not initially. I was convinced the threads were...

    Simplest Cider

    18L Aldi apple juice onto the yeast cake of whatever was in the fermenter before it. Fermented 2 weeks then kegged. Tastes like cider :ph34r: I must admit I'm a bit puzzled why some people add dextrose, use champagne yeast, ferment for several months, and then complain that it's too dry :unsure:

    Fitting/Adaptor Problems with 4 tap Cobra Font

    Kinda... I've done a few fonts over the years but they've all been Andale or similar. This looks like something else. My guess is the weird floating fittings form part of a valve, so when the taps are removed for cleaning the flow is cut off. If you're missing the other half of the valves your...

    Fitting/Adaptor Problems with 4 tap Cobra Font

    I'm on mobile and I'm having trouble seeing the detail in your pics. Can't figure out what the things are in the sockets. Can you tell whether the lines would have been plumbed 'to' the font sockets, or 'through' them into the adaptors?

    Again, who is this 'average' home brewer? I'd say the vast majority of home brewers fall into the two categories I outlined above. The single largest group would have to be the k-mart kit and kilo krowd. They aren't connoisseurs, they just resent paying VB prices. Many of these guys won't even...

    Oh they can. For 5 years they can produce a slab a week of somebody else's craft brew for about $12,500. Say $15k with incidentals, sanitiser, power etc. Edit: $58 a slab. Too late in the day for accurate maths.

    Consumers lose under "internet tax"

    Hi Spiesy, if you're really lucky then the customer will choose your product based on advertising you pay for, look at it in one of your dealers' stores, then buy it online from a grey importer putting your dealer out of business in the process. Then if you're really lucky, they'll come and...

    Williamswarn Personal Brewery

    Which everyday home brewers are these? The kit and kilo, cheap grog crowd? Or the serious brewer that wants to produce world class beer? This device seems too elaborate for the former, and too restrictive for the latter. If it has a market, it is commercial breweries that need a small scale...

    Williamswarn Personal Brewery

    Hey guys, I've got a great idea for a machine. You put beer in one end, and it pisses urine against a wall at the other end. Seriously, it eliminates all that tedious drinking and liver work. It'll cost about 20 grand but it'll be shiny as ****. Who's in?

    Williamswarn Personal Brewery

    I'm with you Ross. I can see the value in this device as a prototyping rig for a large commercial brewery to try out recipes on a small scale using big scale methods, but to be honest I don't hold large breweries as any sort of guiding light on how I want to go about brewing my own beers. To...

    Building portable bar.. need suggestions!

    'Portable bar' is pretty vague - what sort of size did you have in mind? How elaborate did you plan to get with storage for glasses etc? How will you transport it?
