I have one of these, about 1 year old. Has been running noisily for a while, and now it has seized. The electric motor still hums and will spin the magnets if I disassemble it and give it a push. I tried to lube it up with some inox and I just scraped through last brew, but now it's seized...

Someone asked me this question at work, and I really didn't have an answer. On reflection, I said it's a sensory thing and colour is a part of it, just for shits and giggles. Also the red malt gives a different malt profile to balance against allowing different hops to do well in an IPA...

For those that want to share. I'll bung mine up tonight or tomorrow.

I'm having trouble with my auto sparge. It seems to take a while to get the grain bed to set, so it feels like when I'm recirculating that I'm gouging the hell out of the top of my grain bed and possibly channeling down the sides. Efficiencies have been lower than expected, and I think this...

In response to this great thread - http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/86677-whats-the-best-addition-to-your-brewery/ What has been the worst addition? I started with extract kits about 18 months ago, and started all grain about 5 months ago. I've bought some crap equipment that I've never...

I got beer in my regulator. I know, I know - new to kegs, rookie mistake, will buy a check valve. Most advice I've read in other posts here suggets pulling apart and cleaning asap. However, it seems that this is a newer version of the Micromatic that has an anti-tamper cover over everything...
