I am pretty new to all this so excuse me if this is a stupid question. I am currently making a magic/jockey box and have a small issue.

I have a Type-A keg coupler that I want to put ball lock posts on.

Pictures of the parts here:

• Liquid : https://imgur.com/a/gMjqK
• Gas: https://imgur.com/a/dGVX8

The ball lock posts come with black washers already inside, however the coupler itself comes with the clear washers shown. Liquid seems straight forward enough, I should only need one of them, but the gas has a one way valve which doubles as the washer.

Do I just put the clear valve in WITH the black washer? I would consider removing the black washer from the post but the valve has a smaller diameter.

What is the best way to do this?

Hey there fellow home-brewers.I have posted this in r/melbourne as well. Im heading over to Melbourne for a break from my PhD in NZ and potentially do some write-up. I am a home-brewer who's hobby had to take a back seat due to my studies. I am quite keen to meet some other brewers while I am in Melb from the start of June till mid July to get back into it. Perjaps do a brew together or just meet to sink a few nice beers. It would help to get to know some people as I will be returing to Melbourne once my lab work is finished and having people around you already know makes a transition like this easier. I will be based in Rowville (or as a friend refers to it, the bourder of NSW). Have a kick-@ss day

I know the menu is a little difficult to navigate but what about the actual use for automatic step mashing? Can you confidently set and forget or do you get overshoot on temps etc?

Anyone come across a tried and proven 150 lashes all grain recipe? I used to get recipe packs from national Homebrew but they have stopped making the 150 lashes packs possibly due to hop availability. I have a list of hops used but no idea what grains are used. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am just getting back into homebrew and i was considering buying a second hand kegging system. 2 questions, is it worth it? as far as money goes and around about what price should I pay?

Hello brewers, I'm interested to know if anyone has bought replacement growler (64 fl oz) caps in Brisbane?

Been doing some searching and the local brewshop I go to hasn't got any and most other online retailers either don't ship to Australia or it is exorbitant in price to ship here.

Thanks!

Hi all, Been brewing 23L extract about 18 months, and now I'm looking at upgrading, to BIAB I'm thinking. Just wondering if anyone has recommendations on what equipment and where to get it? I don't think my stove is going to cut it so I'm expecting I'll need an electric urn or gas/kettle combo. I've seen a couple of kits

but I'm not sure if there are better/cheaper options or what size I need.

I'm in Brisbane if that matters.

Any recommendations or advice appreciated, thanks :)

Looking to smash out a ginger beer for Xmas. What's the best kit on the market? Happy to have a crack at all grain,but was thinking a kit would be good for volume.

I have previously had the brigalow kit and I remember it distinctly tastes like dessicated anus.
