Bloody ripper, now clean it, sanitizer it and but some brew in it!
Well done, that sort of thing does give you a lift.

 

[Nullnvoid]

Just waiting for the brew to finish in the fermenter.

Now how do I clean the thing!

 

[Grott]

What cleaner do you have? Sodium percarbonate?

 

[Nullnvoid]

Yeah sodium percarbonate.

 

[Grott]

Put a table spoon it the keg and add some hot water. Seal keg and shake vigorously. I connect a tap for the mini keg to beer post, Put a bit of gas in and open tap to allow some of the cleaner to go through the post. Take tap off, removeand and stand keg upside down for few hours or over night.
Then remove lid, tip out, rinse out with water.
To sanitise, pour the mixture in, say litre and seal keg. Shake then put some gas in, tap on and empty through tap and keg post. Release pressure, tip out any left and sanitise lid and seal.
Hope this makes sense.

Perfect sense . Cheers mate

Perfect sense . Cheers mate

Ps this method also cleans and sanitises your tap setup

After 6 years, my daughter finally wants a relationship with me (she's 6). For the first 5 years, she wanted precious little to do with me - no hugs, no days out together, no talking, no playing. She'd only spend time with me if forced by the difficult departure of her mother to get some time to herself, which was no easy task. For the last year, I've been a curiosity, but every moment with me was just waiting and asking for her mother.

Now, she wants to do things with me, wants cuddles, wants to tell me about her day, looks forward to seeing me. Finally! Tears of joy...

Mate, this is what it's all about. Really pleased for you.

I had a similar thing with my middle boy. I went from Vic to work in Karratha fifo when he was 4 months old. Didn't do a massive stint over there, stayed for 10 1/2 months. Even though I was coming home every 4-5 weeks to see them all it took him years to come around and develop a proper father/son relationship. Reason I came home was the missus was finding it hard to cope with 2 kids and no husband there.

He's 10 now and we've been great for years. Loves coming hunting, fishing, camping, 4wding etc with me.

Wouldn't trade time with the kids for anything. Except maybe some quiet time without them every now and then.... haha.

 

[madpierre06]

You'll find out why this is so imperative in years to come....it's all set up when they young.

When you finally work out a grain inventory and storage system that actually works, keeps your grain fresh and fits everything in! I can't believe it took me so long to work out something so simple. I've always stored according to type (Base, Caramel/Crystal, Roasted or Toasted) but always have space left over, and grain that won't fit in the right bin so it gets chucked anywhere, and becomes a pain to find. Said to myself, it can all go anywhere, as long as I know where anywhere is. Finally, it all fits and I can find it quickly

 

[Grott]

Very impressive.
Are you able to “flag” a certain quantity when you need to re-order stock? Or just do manually?

 

[Mardoo]

Not that impressive really. This is a function in BeerSmith, which will automatically delete amounts used if you tick that box, and give you an alert when a grain gets below a certain level. I just worked out how to use it in my situation.

 

[Grott]

Ok, only slightly impressed.

Weather in Hobart is making me happy.
Genesis P Orridge at summer mofo makes me happy (be happier when I get tickets)
Chelsea Wolfe playing in Melbourne in March would make me happy but I'll be in Europe.
Going to Europe in March makes me happy.
