I wish I had a choice. Those are the most powerful gas burners I can find in NZ. The brew shops are no help in this regard. Shipping off Amazon or eBay is far more expensive than the cost of the burner itself. :(

I'm looking at buying this Campmaster 4 ring LPG burner. I plan on using 9KG LPG cylinders. Will the evaporation/vaporization rate be too much to safely run this burner? The ambient temperature that I will be using the burner will vary from maybe 5°C if I'm doing a brew on a winter morning, to...

I just bought a 50L stock pot for extract brewing. It has a 38cm height and I've seen these cheap hop spiders on Aliexpress with a 35cm height. Is that 3cm gap from the bottom of the brew kettle to the hop spider (just over 1") going to be enough or will the hops scorch or anything by being...

At the moment I'm using a few 30W heat pads to heat both my fermenter and bottles while conditioning but I'm having a hard time with temperature control (it's winter here in NZ). I use a 30L fermenter and then bottle. For the bottle conditioning, I was thinking of getting an indoor grow tent...

I'm trying to move away from no-boil pre-hopped LME by using boils with DME and hops. After a recent job loss I just don't really have money to blow on a big boiler and gas burner (the big gas burners are extremely expensive here in NZ and eBay isn't an option as the shipping is far more...

It's a bit cold at this time of year being the middle of winter so I'm trying to keep my bottled beer warm to condition. I have 2 crates, each containing 12 bottles, most of which are 750mL or so. 1 of the crates is on a 30W heat pad (the green one in the pic, I removed that crate to show it)...

There's a place not far from home that has a private well which has monthly water tests published on their website. June results and July results. I included the results from 2 consecutive months to show the variation. Does this water look OK for brewing basic extract recipes? If not, what...

I'm probably going to have to skip eBay for this as shipping to NZ is going to cost far more than the burner itself. That's part of the problem living inside an isolated country at the bottom of the world.

I've been doing no-boil pre-hopped malt extract brews for a while now and I want to move away from those so I need to buy a gas burner and a brew pot. I will be doing 23L (6 gallon) batches. I will be using 9KG LPG bottles as as that's the cheapest/most readily available gas since we don't have...

I've just decided to get back into beer brewing after a break of several years, and I just can't handle alcohol as well as I used to so I'm aiming for something around 3% ABV. I've already started the 23L (6 gallon) brew and it consists of: 1.7kg Coopers lager pre-hopped liquid malt extract...

I planted a Smoothcone vine last year and now it's quite big and has hundreds of hop cones growing all over it. Some of the hop cones are still very small, while others are very big and the edges of the big hop cones are starting to turn brown. They feel light and papery to touch, and when...

I have just been given a ****load of plums and I would like to make some plum wine. I have found many different recipes by searching on Google™, but some recipes are much more complicated that others. I've never made this before, so do I REALLY need to add things such as grape tannin, citric...

I bought mine off TradeMe.

Buy a Holden

**** the commercially distilled spirits. Homebrew spirit is the best.

Homebrew gin and cheap tonic water.

What homebrew limit? Why would the government sieze your beer?

Add 2 kits together with 1kg of dextrose

I don't see the connection between a hygrometer and beer. Maybe someone would care to enlighten me?

The trick is that you don't buy the vodka in the first place.
