For the boys in NSW or Newcastle/Sydney MHB is selling un-named malt for $2 per Kg. For what its worth I would love another bag for christmas. I did a test brew with a few kgs and some darks malt and made a Schwartzbier last week and I hit 85% efficency into the kettle, 10% more than normal. this malt is sensational and at $2 per Kg its gold.
(sorry Mark it had to be said )

OK, it has to be asked, who, what, where is MHB?

 

[KingPython]

I *think* it's Mark's Home Brew.

 

[Stuster]

Yep. Mark's Home Brew. Site is there. It's up Newcastle way somewhere. The website is under construction but if you find MHB's profile, click on the little AG Download link in the My Content box and you should get a list of his stock. If it's not there, then give him a ring and I'm sure he'll help you out.

If your using a plate or counterflow chiller I find an in-line thermometer (brand I use is "Blichmann ThruMometer") to be a very handy addition. I have one between the chiller and the fermenter, and a flow control valve on the hose water as it enters the chiller. Makes hitting my pitching temp real easy. Currently advertised for $51 at www.ibrew.com.au but if you explain your $50 Christmas limit they may well knock a dollar off for you.

Thrumometer in-line thermometer......$51.00

Aren't they closer to $500? I guess it depends what you mean by quality

mate i work for ergon energy and cal the fluke meters with temp probes, eg fluke 187 and the 289

man they NEVER read correct i always have to adjust the fluke buy a few degrees.

its unbelavable 1k+ fall out of synce so quick 9well only the temp does but still)

for reference u cal them to the NATA standards using a fluke 5500A calbritator unit and met track/metcal

EVERY one should check there temp probes b4 every important use boiling water and freezing water will give u an idea
