Hi Brewers, I built a 3v system a couple of years ago thinking it would improve my beers from my BIAB days, it turns out it didn't. It just meant I had heaps more crap in the garage with a lot more cleaning on brew day. As a result I lost interest and haven't brewed for over a year. Last week I...

Hi brewers, I'm two brews into using my new plate chiller and am having difficulty keeping hop material out of it. I whirlpool with very limited success so I'm looking for a filter of some description. I found something that looks promising but they come from the US...

Is it ok to water your vege patch with the water that I have soaking the fermenters? I've got 40l sitting there that i would rather not pour down the drain if I can help it. FWIW, I don't use napisan or any other commercial product just 100% sodium perc.

Not sure if this has been posted before but there is a shed load of Galaxy available if anyone is keen. https://www.allbids.com.au/Buy/?ID=592598

I love tapatalk, all my forums in the one place and very easy to navigate. Lately it has been crashing on the ipad for no apparent reason. It only happens on certain threads and it is repeatable. Anyone else experiencing issues? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I picked up a pretty grubby Andale twin tap font today and seek advice on the best way of cleaning it. Is it simply a matter of pulling it all apart and soaking the lot in sodium percarbonate? Are seal kits available from Andale? I also notice that the beer lines in this font are copper, can...

A couple of months back I bought a Fridgemate MK1 off a member to run my keg fridge. I finally got some time to set it up with the intent to set my serving fridge at a constant 4 degrees. I have run into a problem and hopefully somebody here can assist. The issue I'm having is I can set my min...

In line with the other noob mistake threads, I have my own to contribute. I recently finished my 2nd Dr Smurto's golden ale. It was no chilled and put in the FV yesterday. I was going through my notes and realised I didn't add my final addition of hops on flame out. I must have got a little...

I was lucky enough to score an old fridge only (no freezer section) for nicks off Gumtree yesterday. I figure summer is coming and I'm going to need a ferment fridge. I've got the STC sorted but I'm not sure on a couple of things. Firstly, is it ok to sit the FV on my heat pad within the fridge...

Hey forumites, I recently picked up a 22l Mytton Rodd/Firestone/Rheem keg that needed quite a bit of attention. After a thorough clean and seal replacement I have noticed that there isn't a gas dip tube. I filled it with water and ran it through the system, it holds pressure and everything...

Hi all, I have slowly been acquiring my gear to do my very first BIAB AG (CUB keg, 2400w element). Last night I decided to have a go at a Dr Smurtos Golden Ale. I have seriously over estimated my boil off and didn't lose any where near as much volume as I thought. I filled the keggle with 35...

G'day all, I'm in the process of building a simple 1V BIAB keggle. I have a question regarding the thermometer placement. I notice most people seem to put it above the tap, is there a reason for this? I intend to build a faux false bottom à la QLD Kev's setup IOT keep the bag from scorching and...

Hi folks, I'm not holding my breath but thought I'd ask anyway. Anyone selling any bits and bobs in the Canberra region? I'm chasing a 19Litre Corny (or 2 9 litre corny's), a quality regulator and maybe a stainless drip tray for a keg setup I'm building. I have most of the other parts from past...
