4 kegs and seal kits for $200 delivered free anywhere in Australia....

I have checked all of my kegs for leaks and haven't found anything.

The actual pressure gauge of the keg doesn't go down indicating pressure is being leaked.

Perhaps I need to gas my beer more initially?

Cheers,

Paul.

Very late repy as I have not been on here for a while.

Replace all your ...

Who's a filthy No-Ciller? Heh? :x

Love no-chillin, I dry hop after about 10 days and get great results... :D You could try doing a Hop Tea/French Press for your Dry Hopping, personally havnt done it yet but it exposes your hops to boiling liquid and apparently gives a completely different ...

Hey Brewbeast,

I have been working on No-Chilling a bit and following the thread on AHB..

This is what I have been doing with No-Chill additions....

60 min Bittering addition is done at 40 min
20 min Flavour addition is done just before I drain Wort into my Cube
and I Dry Hop at about 7-8days for ...

Could well be over-carbed....

Need more info....

Hi,

I have just purchased a fridge tap for my soon to be kegerator. I have already drilled a hole in the side of the fridge for my gas line. It was an absolute bitch to drill that one.

The shank I have for the fridge tap is around 22" which is waaayyy bigger than any of the drill bits I have ...

Calibrate them against boiling water mate, 100c.... Not sure if I would count on the meat Thermo?

And the recommended MM Thermometer is really good for your Mash-Tun, not so much your boil kettle and IMO your HLT..

+1 on Trough Lollys advice, best bit of kit ive bought... Get the weldless and it only takes a hole to install it, it shows you all your temps for Protein rests, mash temps, mash out temps, sparges etc etc... :wink:

Just have to ensure its calibrated to the right temp, but it will save you holding ...

Hello mate,

I think for Single, say 5kg batches, 70ltr Esky is way to big IMO.. I think you would be better off(for singles) to go with your smaller esky, it will hold temp much better even if the sides are thinner as the Mash will hold temp very well by retaining the heat and not letting it escape ...

A gasket is missing I think...

Also, the Reg needs a real good tightening onto the Gas Bottle, also some thread tape wouldnt go astray on the threads...

Is that your fermenter in that pic billy?? If so, clean it......

No malice intended..

Hi all,

I've been living in Indonesia for the past three years but now back in Brisbane. Just started up on the home brewing again and had a little incident which I'd like to ask about.

I've discarded the lid and air-lock in preference for the plastic wrap and pin-hole. Been doing it this way ...

In that case I might weld mine :D . Thought i would have to take it somewhere to be welded .
The new kettle will be doubling as a crayfish cooker (on the few times i get to go craying) so i can screw the tap out and put a bung in.


On the subject of kettles, is the nassa burner sutable to sit ...

60 litres is alot of beer to get through if it ends up shite or infected, not worth the risk IMO.....

CB

You have complete control over the process.

umm, no my missis does actually!!!

yeah I did wonder wether they chill or not, and do they aerate, I usually aerate when pouring out of tub into fermenter by dropping from height, seems to get oxygen into the wort!

yeah about cost I get them for $41 ...

Yes they do, depends also how/where they have been stored..

This is from Craftbrewers Website:
Storageability 65 - 80% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage at 20°C

Havnt been on here much of late but I see Billybushcook has nearly done an AG brew.. These forums do that.....
