Bit the bullet fermenter fridge

Kinda got hung up on AG BIAB lagers/Pilsners of late. I'm over mash tuns.

Invested in a new 300lt fermenter fridge only and Keg King temp controller to perfect the art over summer. Caution: this leads to other addictive pursuits like modifying the grain mill to run on a low speed drill, spending $200 on grains yesterday.

This lager experimenting with dry hopping and hop varieties is becoming all consuming. I need help :D

4 kegs ready for Bathurst

Welcome to the dark side we have beer :)

I have 4 kegs and just spent about the same on grain as you

I also have a dedicated brew room, need to look into a fridge

Have been doing biab with good results :)

When you've spent around $2k on your beer gear, you know it's money well spent :laughing-rolling:
Mrs has now imposed a ban on me buying any more before I get rid of some junk from the house

Gotta admit now the warmer weather is here these fizzy drinks are becoming more popular with me too, but looking into it all its pretty daunting at the cost of setting up..... I'm cheating and getting mine from u brew it, it's a nice drop and the price for three kegs full at $160 is reasonable when we're only going through 1 x 19L keg each week.

My mashing is going to be concentrating on improving my single malt and Irish style whiskies for now, if the bug really bites I might go a step further into some beers.

Here I was thinking I had it all, but no, there's always more one can spend on :doh:
