Looks like your leaving the best till last.

 

[Kingbrownbrewing]

You have no idea....

I can still not believe the simplicity and ease of the ghetto system.

Having 2 champion brewers manning it probably helped somewhat, but still....

Ghettolicious.

 

[pike1973]

I was there on the day and was so impressed that on sunday I went out and got the gear to build my own bucket of death so bring on the ghetto style.

Nothing wrong with the old B.O.D. - Owned one in the UK and sent it here where it eventually karked it after a couple of years usage. , if they were available in Australia I'd never have gone the urn route.

But could you wrap it in a sleeping bag or a doona.....

 

[MarkBastard]

Is sparging optional in the braumeister? Also I take it the sparge water came from elsewhere?

 

[Bribie G]

No, in the UK it would have to be a duvet B)

:icon_offtopic: (Australian Soft Furnishings Association in the 1970s invented the word "doonah" because they figured that Australians were too fucken thick to make them pronounce French Words like "Doo - Vay". - similar to the original idea to bring out the first Commodore with a forward sloping nose (like the Torana) as the "shovel nose" of the Opel derived Commodore would be just too radical for the fucken thick Australian motoring public. General Motors put their foot down and made them go the shovel nose.
Shows what big business thinks of Joe and Jane Aussie, hey. )

 

[Kingbrownbrewing]

Well there you go...

I will sleep soundly tonight now that I know that.

cheers Bribie

Not sure about optional, and yes they got the water out of one of ross's kettles.

Dave might be able to answer this question a bit better than me.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Hell, still the same now with Holdens.

Instead of rebadging opel reckfords, they're now doing the same thing with Daewoos and the public buys an "aussie" car, which is actually 2nd-rate Korean.

An now Opel are re-sending the Corsa back to Australia badged as an Opel, not a Barina (which is now a Daewoo Kalos).

Speaking of which, given you're living on a certain Island up there, mentioned Hadrian's Wall (hence, you must be a northerner or summat like it), and a certain red-headed British born (Yorkshire, no-less), Australian raised Rugby League player from Bribie Island recently pledged his allegence to English RFL - you didn't have owt to do wi' it?

Oops, cat is out of the bag!

It is optional, just brInge your water level back up to the 25 ltr mark, and rinses the grain

And here is the moment that everyone has been waiting for.....

I still cant believe how effective and efficient the ghetto system was, I really hope this pushes some of you kit/ extract brewers to have a crack, because it is obvious that money is not an issue to make great beer.

Thanks for watching Babbs system wars!

 

[RdeVjun]

There are warts with Ghetto? I never knew that.

Seeing Bribie getting all barred up about a holy bucket- now the other thread makes much more sense! Its a shame Michael G wasn't there to see it on the day, hopefully he can catch these vids from his sick bed.

 

[MarkBastard]

Are those ghetto ones out of order? I couldn't really follow the sparge process.

 

[browndog]

Not really, we drained the lauter tun into the kettle which you see, then we added sparge water and started recirculating which you see also. There was a bit missed where we recirculated prior to draining to the kettle the first time.

[MarkBastard]

ahh okay, you added sparge water from elsewhere right?

 

[The Scientist]

King Brown,

Thanks heaps for filming the day and for the effort you've taken to post all the links to Youtube. Great to meet you too, so hope we can catch up for a beer soon at Archive.

Can wait to taste the final beers and see the conclusion at the QHC 2011

Cheers,

TS

I remember we had water heating in the kettle and we used this for mashout, I can't recall if we had enough left over tippedin another bucket to sparge with. Liam should remember, much younger than me.
