Question with kegging (the 8L oxebar and mini 360 regulator with sodastream bottle). Is there any need for a 1 way check valve on the gas line? I was sure I saw it recommended somewhere but now that I look again to make sure I get the order right, I don't see that advice anywhere.

Sorry mate, someone grabbed that last night. I've marked that off in the first post.

I need to downsize, have a bunch of stuff that came from another person but I've never had the space to use it properly. I just want to convert some of it to money so I can buy some smaller kit (an oxebar keg setup, and a few other bits and pieces to do small batch brewing). Location is North...

A question re: the 4L oxebar kegs that are on their way... I'd assumed they're just going to be same diameter but half the height of the 8L kegs. But you know what they say about "ass-u-me"ing things. Is that what they'll be or is the plan for different dimensions?

Ah, so if I put the peel in longer I should reduce the hop bittering. That makes a lot of sense and I'm glad you brought that up!

The recipe is based on te Lar-gaarden recipe which was already available on the brewfather database. It's from Larry the beer n bbq videos on YT. I've had to change the hops around a bit. Just a 10L batch so I hope to get something drinkable that I can experiment with and improve over future...

I'm going to try a Belgian witbier recipe, which calls for bitter orange peel. The lhbs had this in powdered form, while the YouTube video had small dry slivers. In terms of quantity, is it possible I should put less in, due to the powder form being more ready to impart flavours?

Mid 2000s I was at a small pub in Sydney with a group I was at tafe with, and it was one of those bars where you go, "Tooheys spew, nope, Carlton Draught, nope, oh phew they have Tooheys Old". One of the guys in the group asks for a VB. Gets told they don't have it. He looks confused and...

Reeb, which is beer spelled backwards, was one of the few full strength beers available in the local Tesco nearest to where I was living in Shanghai in 2009. As far as beers go, it actually is a bit backwards, but we drank it for a while, before deciding that just drinking twice as much Sun...

+1 on the market research statement. Just keep in mind that people with less space haven't bought any kegs yet. I may be one of a kind, or I may be one of an untapped market? Regardless, good luck, I hope the product is a success and it's great seeing locally made products whether they're for...

PET mini kegs. The ss ones are all poorly designed - too tall once the disconnect lid thing is attached. There is a definite market for kegs that fit in shared fridge spaces. Could a PET mini keg be designed to lay on its side? A floating gas tube and a sinking liquid out tube? 200mm diameter...

I'm considering getting rid of the 19L cornies, plus the freezer, font taps etc, because I have no where in the house to keep it, and 19L is a LOT. I have a second fridge in the house, and can fit a few half cornies in it by removing 2 shelves. The smaller size therefore suits the space I...

A friend with the equivalent size guten (similar to robobrew) recently gave me a bottle of an imperial stout of some sort that he'd brewed. I think he said it was 11% abv. Said it was a bit tricky on that unit but there are techniques for getting the higher efficiencies needed given the volume...

So in my trial run (all water) biab in the oversized kettle didn't work. I couldn't keep a temp with just the small (relative to the kettle size) amount in the bottom. Frustrated, back to the drawing board. I picked this 37L crab cooker up for $90, and installed the heating element, tap and...

Yeah I finally found some info on it. It's apparently possible with spaced out, really short pulses of it. But f... that. The bottles are expensive but for whatever reason I have half a dozen already.

There's a couple in this site's recipeDB, along with comments etc following. I found them while browsing for an easy brew to start out with, though as I said, I've settled on an English mild as my actual first. The KISS principle. Plus, it IS winter. The blonde recipe doesn't look too hard...

Would the bottles be suitable for normal bottle conditioning? They seem to make a decent seal. Regarding actual force carbonation with the sodastream, I might just give it a go with one bottle, but I suspect you're right.

My tastes are kind of similar. I don't care much for the higher abv, but I love a lot of the Belgian beers, taste-wise. One thing I miss about living in Sydney is the Belgian beer cafe in the Rocks. A bowl of mussels, chips, mayo and 40 or so beers to choose from... heaven. Just don't expect to...

I've tried searching this question but results are all about the sodastream co2 bottles, which is not what I am asking about. Instead, the plastic bottles that are branded by sodastream, which take a decent pressure. Could I bottle the leftovers (ie anything too much for the keg) into these...
