Actually wasn't it Joking 2nd, Damian Peterson 3rd? Apologies if I got that the wrong way round, that's my recollection though.
I didn't taste all the entries but Paul Dunsmuirs winning bitter was the most flavourful, not quite there in terms of ho…
Get someone else to taste it. Do that before considering a drain pour.
Little late now - the day before, but I'll be there to defend my title of loser, king loser last place LOSER. I hope the judges are kinder this time, you don't want me going back to the car to get my assault rifle and letting the judges have it for…
Nice move, "the sacrifice". I like your style. See, blokes can be clever.
I'm going to pull out at this stage. First one I've missed!
I'm in Aussie from 22nd Sep to 6th October, have two 40ths just before that, then my birthday soon after. Beer left to bottle for case swap is just not going to happen.
As much as I hate…
Holy crapload of amazing beer batman!

If I hadn't have already spent money on 2 engines that require quite a bit of work I'd consider these - even at $500. Though I'd rather he split them into two lots. I'd only want one at that price.
check out Jamils whirpool chiller. Makes a big difference over a standard IC:

Beer engine reconditioning, part 1
If you follow this thead you'll know that I recently purchased 2 beer engines off trademe.
Seeing as my brewing inclination is towards British styles - real ale, I've been after a beer engine for ages. Usually they get snapped up quick smart by Greig (who hasn't shared with me the highly secret search/RSS query that tweets him the instant anything remotely resembling "beer e… Continue

- Thanks for the info on the HWC thing a while back - we have now got most of what we need, set up with a 80L mash tun, 100L boiler, and will shortly have a (probably) 135L HLT. Looking forward to really getting it cranking - did a 45L batch a couple of weeks ago, but there's plenty of room to go bigger...

crabbey said… - Cheers mate. I did some research and it's not the sanitation that is the problem, but copper leaching into the beer. That said copper is beneficial on the wort side of the process. Damn I want a copper kettle!

- Thanks for the advice mate. Yes, my gear technically does 50L, but I haven't been game to do any more than about a 40L boil which ended up just under 30L by the end. I figure if I go to a (say) 135L cylinder for the HLT I can always split the boil across the two existing gas-fired kettles (one converted keg with tap, the other just a big-ass 40L pot) and then combine (or not) in fermenters to make sure it's all consistent.
The major problem is having a brewing partner I have to split every batch with - volume is king!
