Busy brewing craft beer!!! Is there a better way to go?:D:mug:

No problem it will give me some time to complete my homework "How to brew":D

Please do a write up with photo's of your next brew in this rig. I do not understand the working of the rig yet.

Thanks for the writ up, just what another noob need!!

I was thinking of making use of some copper geysers that I have available. According to the "How to brew" book copper don't need to be cleaned intensively, it must have like a layer, he even say with new copper you must bake it in to form the layer.

Baie dankie Jaap! Nou het ons die Yanks aan die wonder as ons afrikaans praat:D Yes the craft beer industry are getting of the ground now, I see in Johannesburg there are a lot of clubs and meetings, each month. I want to join them once or twice to get some first hand info on brewing. I have...

I see a lot of nice equipment here, where can I get hold of plans to build something similar to the Brutus 10. And can somebody please direct me to a walk threw of the procedure of use for a Brutus10.

What is the benefit of copper kettle's? Why was the old pots all made of Copper? Does it affect the taste of the beer?

Very little alcohol, when it is distributed, but it keeps on fermenting in the bottle. It is a very easy product. I buy a premix ginger beer powder, ad sugar, ad water,mix and 3 days later we bottle it and distribute.

Okay you convinced me! Of to the catering suppliers then.

Thanks Mr. O. Yes we have the "big mouth yellow fish here in the Vaal River (directly translated it mean fading River) and the Riet river (meaning reeds river) The fly fishing people come from far to get a "Yellow" on the hook.

This is the problem here with us, Kegs are realy scares, and they are on the stock of all the major beer brewing company's, so they are not that willing to let a homebrewer buy it, because it damage there sales. If I powder-coat the Aluminum pots (:D take note OneHoppyGuy:D) will it do the job?

Sorry for the confusion, actually I am Afrikaans speaking, so there will come out a lot of funny's in translation in the future.:D

:)Guys, guys, guys:) say after me "delegate" Remember in Africa labor are not that expensive, so we can make use of a lot of laborers to help ease the work load. Thanks for the welcome. :mug:

Why don't you guys make use of aluminum casserole in the place of the kegs? Like these: http://www.hendler.co.za/images/cater_aluminiumhotel_cass_lrg.jpg Will the aluminum make a chemical reaction that can harm your brew? The aluminum casserole are much easier obtainable than kegs.
