Wanted Any old home brewing gear lying around??

Rob · 25-07-2008, 06:25 PM

Just need one of these bottle washing bases/stands, and the spring loaded thing that sits on top for pumping solution into the bottles.

The base/stand only needs to be 1 storey high, as long as the washer part fits inside it.

Hopefully PSB can turn over some surplus to requirements bottle washing gear

Cheers

I'll help you empty the bottles when they have been sterilised and filled with love.
OK with you?

Use softdrink bottles 2ltr variety, they work so much better than the glass bottletop buggers!

Rob · 26-07-2008, 03:35 PM

Dutch goon bag eh??

nath · 26-07-2008, 03:39 PM

I saw an awesome one once made from garden reticulation fittings..

g0zer · 26-07-2008, 03:54 PM

i used to just use a bath tub.. i reckon they make the best bottle washers. Fill the bath tub up with water and that pink stuff and let the bottles soak in that for a week. all bacteria and wild yeasts dead

Not married then?

I soak in a strong solution of washer powder, then run them thru the hottest, longest cycle my dishwasher has. Then i go outside, chop down some trees and laugh at the dying frogs in the gutter.. Stupid Planet.

Rob: I have a bottle tree, but no washer attachment, sorry.

For washing bottles (and just about everything else in the brewery) I used sodium percarbonate, which is the active ingredient in napisan. Get the homebrand one, it has no perfumes and the most active ingredient.

Then to sterilise I use orthophosphoric acid, or an iodine solution.

Eukanuba · 30-07-2008, 12:25 AM

or you could just go to corny's... I've never looked back...

reddog · 30-07-2008, 12:23 PM

Yep... Kegs ftw. Cheap an easy to look after

St Ives · 30-07-2008, 01:18 PM

Can't remember the last time I bothered sterilising bottles. Those who have kegs love them, bit of an outlay though.

Eukanuba · 30-07-2008, 01:35 PM

yeah, the outlay is a bit hexxy... but nothing says 'quality' like pulling up at a party, pulling out a keg and a tap.. and pulling a delicious brew straight from your keg..

I've got 9 litre and 18 litre corny's.. wouldnt ever ever ever go back to doing a bloody bottle ever again !

the best thing, buy 3 kegs... go down to 'u brew it' for those of us not so inclined as to do mashes etc anymore - pay them to make.. they wash your kegs, pressure test.. and you just pick it up in a couple days.. cold, bubbly.. drinkable ! and no sediment..

I've done 3 party's now, 50L each - where people have asked " where'd you get those cool little kegs ? ".. and rave about the beer... sure beats the look of repulsion you get when you hand over a " DIY bottle bomb " with 1 cm of sediment in the bottom..
