They told me $50 minimum.

I picked up 4 cubes with taps and a fermenter

Total price was just over $67

might be worth calling them.
or possible bulk buy

Thanks Moray. :beer: I live nearby, so I'll drop in and see what they can do for me face to face. :super:

From memory when I purchased half a dozen cubes a year or so ago the minimum order was $50.

:huh: So out of curiosity, as being a newcomer to the world of AG.
When you guys talk about the "No Chill" method, Am I right to think that you put the wort straight from the brew kettle into these cubes???
How long does it/can it stay in these cubes before you ferment it???

 

[Stuster]

jayandcath, yep, straight into the cubes hot. The wort can be left for weeks/months before fermenting though I almost always ferment it within a few days. Makes brewing more flexible because you can brew when you can and then ferment when the yeast is ready.

Dropped in Friday and got 2xfermenters, 20L cube and 3xtaps. And as you all said minimum order $50. :icon_cheers:

Now got 3 fermenters going around the house/garage. 2 lagers and a Pale Ale. Thanks for the heads-up. A very happy brewer.

Cheers :icon_chickcheers:

i just bought a 25l water container that is very much like a fermenter. slightly narrower neck on it, no hole for air lock.

but it was $16 from bunnings. i just put a brew in it not half an hour ago. it seems to be very suitable but the bung hole needed a tap so thats another $2. plus i have to actually insert it into the thing myself, something that seemed to escape my attention as i poured hot wort inot it.
