Pure genius! What sort of efficency do you get? I have the standard chilli bin with a PVC manifold at the bottom- and get a very poor 65%, so am thinking about changing designs and this looks like something that I could make myself.

I cant wait!!! I dont know how im going to wait for it to carb up?

Fine by me I dont mind flat beer!!!!!!!

Yeah not too bad. But in saying that I haven't tried it yet. Will prob take a hydo reading tonight and taste it then. What is yours at?

Choice, will be just about the flame-out time.

Brewing the IRA tomorrow, will be sure to get wort pics :-P

Hey, Im interested in joining the Irish Red Ale compt. What are the details? How much beer to bring, etc.

thanks heaps bro that should do the trick. just frustrating when it happens mid brew!

Big congratulations mate, well done to you and yours. I'll have one on you, right now.

Hey mate, where did you pick up your forward sealing faucets?

Found some OK prices in the US but looks like shipping will be a killer, craftbrewer looks like it will come to $189 before shipping for one tap - ouch.

Cheers.

Thanks mate.

Fucking exchange rate is killer at the moment.

I want fancy taps! Haha.

mate I got 3-400grams of cascade (NZ) 50g Nelson Sauvin and about 50g of imp liberty looks like I need to buy a lot more for my double IPA

Good to meet everyone the other night. See you at the next event!

When's and were is that, I am storing up browny points at the moment as I away at BrewNZ come end of August.

Nice photos, surprised you don't have hop poisoning!

Chur bro :-)

Drinking Rodenbach Grand Cru rright now, sooo good. Blind pig and Alaskan IPA last night. I love blind pig.

Hey Joking. I tasted two NZ IIPAs last night by Renaissance and 666 and I couldn't help comparing them to Naked Poppy.
Although the hops were all completely different it would have stood up really well in the company of these beers, I'm even more impressed now!

Hey there, Wouldn't mind having a taste of your Black Beauty Porter if you can spare any when your down south in July. I can of course make it worth your while with a bottle of my American Stout and of course a Dubbel.

Yeah! How often does that happen. Having the last few pints and realising its only now at its peak and you've wiped out the rest of it while it was still green.

G'day Joking. Your suggestion to my cans query of Sawmill was a grand one. I got a 24 mixed pack and I love it - the pale ale, pilsner and wheat beer go down a treat.
Cheers,
Ian

You're right and I do let the breweries know my appreciation of their product, though I've not done so with Sawmill yet. The painful part was the $30 courier hit - though I did receive the beer the next day. I guess one just has to order enough to make it worthwhile! But their beer is not just OK beer in a can, it's bloody good beer.
The problem is that I'm building a little yacht (20') and it tends to be a bit consuming and I just haven't got around to really getting into my new AG brewing gear. And now our income is diminished until the B&B season picks up again in summer, I have the dilemma that I just can't get enthusiastic about generic slop on special and the good stuff costs - and I need my evening beer fix. So either I must eat less ot get brewing again!
Cheers,
Ian
