This is the best link to a guide on what to put with what. As a noob.. I am just getting the hang of placing flavors etc. thanks for the link amandabab.. Awesomeness!!! :mug:

Thanks man.. Next tap is a resin Spider-Man head from a bobble head toy.. Looks awesome!

Yeah still sold on the STC though.. If this chest freezer I'm bidding on eBay doesn't cool enough.. I have an idea of a water cooled PC radiator unit with twin PC fans attached to PVC tubing inside the chamber.. A reptile heating pad for the heat.. Sounds fiddly though.. Could work.. Need to...

Check out this link.. There is a few like this in the DIY forum.. It's inspired me to build one of my own.. I brew in my garage, and in australia it's well hot.. 31 Celsius in there.. So this is a must.. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/another-tss2-controller-box-build-195713/

Cool idea man :mug:

I am now bidding for a chest freezer for $3.00 on eBay.. It doesn't freeze.. But it cools.. Perfect for brewing I'd say.. I'll rig up a reptile heat mat inside and wire up a STC -1000 eventually.. Will keep you posted!!

I was thinking of adding some flavourings, dried orange peel or honey.. I think secondary is the best for this right? Anybody got any tips for this procedure.. Especially honey.. How can I infuse a honey flavor in my secondary without adding too much sugar as to prime it?? If that's makes sense lol

Fantastic guys!! Thanks so much for the info.. I really love this forum.. It's helped me heaps so far.. Thanks again. :mug:

Awesome man.. Cheers! Yeah I actually boiled the grains.. Yeah bit of a cock up.. Lol.. But I think it should be ok.. Excuse my newbness..but what do actually mean by secondary?? :P

Yeah I was a kit.. Amber ale, forgive my ignorance, I am new to all this. I added my dextrose for fermentation, not the priming sugar. It has subsequently had a healthy fermentation as far as I am aware, it's been bubbling away nicely. Just was worried that it would mess up the brew if I added...

Hi all, I am a newb to brewing, but I was after some help. Doing an Amber ale extract, added 150g of Choc malt grains, LME and Fuggles hops for extra flavour. (I boiled the grains and hops, yeah I know bad move) and a 1kg of dextrose. My og was 1.040 ish.. The yeast was standard from the kit (...

This is my Sunbeam Beer Mate keg dispenser tap. I was inspired by seeing all these cool taps.. So I glued an old resin skull onto a spare tap handle.. What do you think?

Thanks heaps guys. Ill keep you posted on the ourtcome. :)

Yeah it was a kit, but I added some Fuggles hops at the boil... Probably not a good idea8

Do you think adding honey instead of priming sugar will help with the astringency if its there?
