Stonesun, you are an awesome brewer. Love the pictures of the glasses. Shows some knowledge and pride in some the best beers available to you. I brewed a Wit in November and we had the most awesome Christmas day with Turducken (9 Kg) AND Wit Bier. I used a Wyeast smack pack off yeast and the special ingredients made an excellent beer compatible with Hoegaarden. I love Belgian style brewing and are currently collecting different types of yeast for them.
I have so far only found one person in S.A. (South Africa-the country) that made a Belgian Double worthy of good revue. This is also due to the limiting fact of only 3 importers of specialty brewing products are available to us South Afican brewers. I have been lucky this January as a friend gave me some Beet Sugar Syrup from Belgium when his wife came back from holiday there.
We currently only have Wyerman Malt and the local SAB (South African Breweries) Pale Malt to work with. DME is also available from a local supplier. This also conributed to my change towards full grain brewing. The wife and I have been brewing for almost 4 years now and can at the moment only do 10 Gallon batches. We acquired some large vessels and will switch over to larger 15 Gallon batches as soon as we can import some PID controllers from the States as they are cheaper to import than to buy one of the shelf here. BTW Stonesun....Love the controller box, very up market ;0 .
You guys are all lucky to be brewers on your side of the planet. You have so many shops and companies available to you that supply stuff like Stainless conical fomenters and Malt Mills like the Crankenstein etc. Locally we can only get those after going threw allot of money and running around from one place to the other.
We (me and D) also grow hops of the local variety SAAZ Hop. Our plant has been in the ground for only a year now. We use what we have here to make remarkable beers. The amount of brewers have grown from a hand full to hundreds in the past 2 years. This is the first year that we could actually brew with imported candy sugar!
Truly stunning collection of taps Stonesun. Cornelius Kegs are the way to go for easy enjoyment of homebrew. Up to the beginning of this year we have not been able to obtain them and if you could it would be from a fellow brewer at a cost. Then by some stroke of luck I got word from a friend that a Soda filling company 300 Km from me had some that they wanted to scrap. I acquired an investor and we bought all of them before they crushed the good ones! These should last the Brewers club for a while.
What kind of pumps are you using? I was thinking of using magnetically coupled dishwasher pumps for recirculation and filling from the HLT to Mash Tun and also from Mash Tun to Boiler.
FOAF grew some stunning KSSS, TK, Amazonian, MDK and Cambodian and thought we would one day make some Silly Simon Beer.
Truly amazing site, all though I have not yet spoken to anybody here I feel the love.

Sorry for bringing it up but...
I see you put your beer in the kegs!
Where you got your kegs from? I see on the net for about 100$ each... :/

I've scored a few of them locally from a restaurant,
and bought a couple of them with a CO2 distributor and
kegerator kit from Keg Connection.
Occasionally you'll find great keg deals on eBay as well.

The canister style beer filter is installed inline between two 5 gallon
kegs using CO2 pressure to push the beer out of the full keg through the
filter and into the clean keg. The filter is 1 micron,
which gives you a very fine filtering.
Not many style of beer needs to be filtered!

Well, it really depends on what you like, and what ingredients
do you already have in stock.

I would like to try stilling, and brewing . I just don't have much money to get into it . Any info would be nice
btw great setup
