I have always recommended the Brix refractometers from China and never use the ones with SG scales but being lazy sods I can see why others give them a go. Once you understand the tool you can appreciate it better and use it like a pro, not taking the time to learn you would think it was rubbish. Th...

Brewer Pete, Order links would be great. A blow started syphon sounds good, i'm thinking an O2/Air bottle start for hot wort and CO2 for a Carboy ( if this unit is any good I will buy Carboy as want to move away from plastic), I know the HEPA filter should do the job but opening a valve is easier t...

Looks to be the goods with that urn. I am sure you could find an amp or watt rating in the manual but they really should post it online under the specifications. Watt/amp will help determine if its going to run on your circuit without tripping a breaker. How well does it boil? Is there any boilover ...

I'd actually recommend you try a longer mash at 90 minutes and drop the mash temperature down to 63C to get a drier, sweeter beer if that is the direction you want to take it in. You can take a mild in any direction you like, they are not all darks and can range from pale ales with a reduction in ho...

Australia's selection of siphons is rather poor currently. I have used most of them (as I did not want to cut or drill my stainless kettle) and have binned all of them. All my current siphons are stainless steel, cost about $13 a piece, have no moving parts that break, and are activated by my blowin...
