    BNE - 4 vessel HERMS system

    Hi All, Due to time constraints I have not been brewing as much as I would like. So I bought a Braumeister. Now I have my 4 vessel HERMS system for sale. It is all home made, and it works fine it just take too long to setup and clean up - hence the german hardware. Here is what is included...

    Super Grolch!

    Its like a Grolsch bottle but three times the size. Picked it up from Dan Murphys over the weekend. It's 1.5L and cost me $20. Not bad as a growler alternative.

    Craft Beer Vs Standard Swill At The Local

    I'm down at my local waiting for the footy to start (I'm too cheap to get foxtel). Just got a schooner of Fat Yak. Normally I love it when its fresh, but I think this keg has been on since the last time I was down here. Being a sports club I doubt that may people drink it so I would think it...

    The 4hr Brew - How Is It Done?

    I've seen people post that they managed 4hr brew days. The quickest I seem to be able to brew in is about 6.5hrs. I'm not including filling and starting the HLT warming up. The only thing I can think of is that I can't start the kettle burner for the first runnings due to the camping mat...

    Cleaning Stainless For The First Time

    I've recently upgraded most of my brew rig to new stainless bits. I've gone with CamLocks, Stainless HERMS and a Stainless Immersion chiller. I didn't think of it until recently but what cleaning process should I follow for the first use of it? I'm thinking there might be some oils and toxins...

    Long-term Storage: Bulk Prime Or Cpbf?

    I am looking at doing a Barley Wine in the next few months and I want to let it sit for a good few years to mature. I am thinking of getting a filter (1micron) and a CPBF for this and other beers. I realize the filter will leave enough yeast floating around for a secondary fermentation if I...

    Tap Mounting On Freezer Collar

    Tap Mounting on Freezer Collar I've built the collar for my freezer and now its about time I sort the mounting of the taps out. The wood I used for the collar is pretty thick (45mm), and its pretty ugly. Its kind of ribbed, looks like deck boarding. So my plan is to get a thin bit of wood and...

    Aging In The Keg

    I'm thinking of moving over to kegging in the next few months. So far my reasons are: * Less cleaning (No need to clean and sanitise 25 - 30 long necks) * Can get 1 glass of beer at a time, instead of 2 (more for my girlfriend) * Cool factor :) I've only been doing homebrew for about 5...
