Hey all. Former regular around AHB, but that's going back a fair few years. Haven't touched my brewing kit for at least 6 years now, and although I had hoped to get back into it, I don't see that happening. So rather than just continually shift stuff around to make room for things, I figure...

Anyone in the market for a 700L Chest Freezer? This is the same size (believe make and model too) as the one Citymorgue2 has done up into a 10 keggerator unit - see his link in signature for more details on conversion (or click here). Just about to move house, and there is zero allocation...

Does anyone with experience in Hallertau hops know if they are supposed to smell like blue cheese - this is the first time I've used them, but all the descriptors I've read indicate nice things, not cheesey. It's also the first time I've had a cheesey smelling hop. what's the cause? are they...

Does anyone out there have any experience with the Wyeast 2112, specifically looking for info on what to expect from fermenting this below its stated 'optimum' range? I have a 1.050 OG batch which I cooled down to 16 deg, pitched the yeast, let her go for 2 days @ 16, and have now moved it out...

Here's the situation, made an Irish Red a few weeks back using 1084, and achieved ~74% attenuation. happy enough with that, I brewed a RIS to which I added to the yeast cake, figuring it'll need a fair amount of the yeasties to chew through an OG of 1.104. so here we are 2 weeks down the track...

I was just out walking around at lunch, and came across this, well, whatever it is, and by the look of it, I wanted it...Not sure why, but definitely had drawn my attention. big pump, 2 filters, heaps of SS in a nice frame, a hot water source, and all automated. I suspect this something for...

With all the talk of growing hops, and "wet-hop additions", adn harvest brews, I thought about starting a few vines, but in reading about it, I came across several mentions that the plants are poisonous to dogs. I have 2 big Golden Retriever brewing assistants, who seem to get into all sorts of...

Wondering of anyone knows if CO2 bottles can be stored on their side while hooked up to a Regulator? I want to maximise the use of the room, and looking to put the CO2 bottle on top of the fridge (securely, of course), but unsure if you can use it in a horizontal position. Any help on this...
