Selling my keezer / kegerator. Originally a 300lt chest freezer to which I added a 220cm oak collar. Dimensions are now 1.2m depth, 1m long, 60cm wide. The original freezer motor has been replaced by a fridge motor which disperses cold air through a fan. Does not have a thermostat as I used a...

I am having a fiddle with the new BEERSMITH cloud database for saving our recipes. Can anyone tell me how to bring the saved recipe ingredients back to metric. When saved it goes into imperial. Cheers, Hoges.

Kabooby, Ace and yours truly will be getting the Cobb and Co in from the Southern Highlands tomorrow (Friday) and after catching the outrigger from Cirqular Quay will be lunching at the Murray's on Manly. If you are around please come and have a beer with us. Cheers, Hoges.

My brew mate went to a well known Sydney retailer last Saturday and picked up a bag of grain. He also bought two phials of White Labs yeast (007 & 830) for me. When he handed them to me I see that the expiry date for the yeast is 28 November. That means they were manufactured on 28 July...

The following has previously been recommended as the required O2 ppm for good yeast growth in wort fermentation, however there is never a mention of what volume of wort it relates to. 60seconds of pure O2 (@ 1L/min, .5micron stone) results in about 9.20 ppm O2. Is this the recommended infusion...

Copied this over from 'Pre-Order' thread as it did not seem appropriate. Just downloaded BS.2 and found that my personal mash profiles did not import from BS.1 I have copied them to .bsm and imported them manually into BS.2 but cant copy/paste or drag them into the Mash Profile folder. The...

My brother in law gave me a 63 cf aluminium scuba diving tank when I told him I was looking to use O2 for yeast growth. It has not been tested for a few years and I am aware that it will have to be retested and also professionally cleaned for O2 use. Questions: Any brewers using dive tanks...

One for the fridgies. I have a old tuckerbox chest freezer that I have been using as a ferment fridge. In winter I also use a heat mat in it to do ales. The freezer just died - well it is 35 years old - seems to have run out of gas. But that was just after I had the heating mat warming up an...

Since incorporating a motor drive stirrer into my mash tun I have had the ability to conduct step mashes by direct heat. Since that time I have been searching for the right step profiles to use in a variety of mashes. Any brewer who does step mashes will know that there are hundreds of...

Called into the Taphouse Darlinghurst yesterday with a mate. Decided to try the Epic Armageddon IPA and the 8 Hopwired IPA in bottles. Both are NZ beers, great taste and great hop flavour though the Hopwired was a bit of a citrus bomb. The surprise was that the cost of the Epic was $20 for...

Fellow brewers. Looking for Aussie links to stainless conical fermenters, 50 to 100 lts. with temperature control. Our sponsor sites have the fermenters but not with the temp control. Cheers, Hoges.

The new brewhouse is up and running. 42sqm of colourbond insulated with silver blanket, batts and ply on roof and walls. Trouble is that the two steel roller doors face west and I'm finding a great deal of heat being generated on and through the doors. I am considering gluing a couple of space...

For those that don't know about history ... Here is one condensed version: Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most...

I have a standard 6cm stir bar that works great in my erlinmeyer when making a starter but I also have two five lt. vessels that have a slight dome on the base. Whilst I can get the standard bar to spin in these, if it is properly balanced, it can also easily drop off, so I am looking for a...

I am using this yeast (aka 34/70) as my basic lager yeast and have harvested and reused it successfully from the bottom of the fermenter. In an old BN podcast Dr Chris White said that a number of lager yeasts, even though they are bottom fermenters, were also very viable after being top...

I found a container of Carrageenan gum that I was given yonks ago. I've wikkied but can't find a specific dose to use in place of Whirlfloc at the end of the boil. Anyone use this seaweed extract? How much? Teaspoon for 25lts? Cheers, Hoges.

Just in the process of finishing off my new welded brewstand. (thanks for the design assist Franko). I would like to paint the supports around the Rambo burner with a heat resistant paint such as 'pot belly' (rated 300c) or 'engine black' (rated 500c). Anyone tried these paints on their rigs...

I have the same pH meter as is pictured. I have had it about 18 months. The probe (top of picture) has now grown what appears to be mould inside the blue probe tube. I can't see how anything foreign would have got in because it is sealed. Any ideas? Will this affect my pH readings? (did not...
