Brauhaus Fritz Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Organising my Beer Dungeon today I found some more old bottles of Coco Hefe, not bad. I wonder how a Weizen with Weihenstephaner yeast and coconut would taste like, did anyone try it, or worked with the yeast? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was kegged on 20th July 2021. Matter of fact that reminds me I still have a 1/4 of a keg left so it might be stuffed by now. Will taste a couple of glasses tomorrow and see. I quite liked it when I was drinking it last year. Still going to buy a couple of cans of Coopers Stout just to test the waters so to speak. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very delicious and came in at 7.3% after bottling. If you did want to try a partial mash, I highly recommend this one. cheers and hope the link works… Tone Thanks TB, doesn't matter if K & K or partial so long as the end result is good drinkable beer/stout so a partial mash fine by me if it gets me there. Will check out your recipe and process. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to do a dummy order to see what shipping is to here. What are you doing Phil? Forget buying FWK's and brew your own. Get that AG gear out, dust it off and go for it. You can get about 5 batches out of a 25 Kg bag of Coopers Premium Pale Malt i.e. way cheaper. You just need to do the brew day work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know but I would just like to try one, at least once. I don't want to start storing bulk grain & I haven't got a Mill or a Drill but I will be doing AG batches again as soon as I sort some more kegs out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, by all means try one FWK if you want but I can mill you up some Coopers Premium Pale Malt and some wheat malt and a tiny bit of crystal light malt for you, pack it in zip locked bags and post them your way if you want. Then you just have to pop it in your AG gear, mash and add the PoR hops to the boil and you have a FWK of Coopers Original Pale Ale. Get yourself a mill and a couple of big buckets from Bunnings, the 35 L ones with the sealing lids. The money I see you spend on commercial tasting "specials" would have paid for your mill months ago. Yes you can mill by hand so no need for a drill, especially for single 22 L batches.

Hi Al that is a very generous offer & I appreciate it but if you did that I would have to pay you for it in some way or form. At this point I feel money spent on a mill would be better spent on kegs but I do agree with all of you the 25kg bags are the way to go. I see KL have this entry model for $86 & the Base for $11 which is not too bad unless I can Google something better. I will make this my project for next week to see if I can organise something to get things rolling (pun intended) Thanks again for offering Al, it just cements the fact this this forum is made up a really great genuine people whom are always willing to help.

Hi AK, thanks for your input, I am glad that someone has the mill that I was thinking about, I haven't owned a drill for some time but they are readily available, it's just a matter of how much you would have to spend to get the job done. It would appear to me you wouldn't need a tradesman's quality drill, maybe something from Kmart ? There a a few bulk grain options available in Adelaide that I can travel to instead of paying shipping. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Phil Malt Muncher - 2 Roller Grain Mill $86.00 IN STOCK SKU KL03254 as @Aussiekraut mentioned its not the Mercedes of Mills, if you want a great hand grain mill then a millmaster is the way to go but they are very expensive but Australian made i understand and @ $399.95 aud just for the mill without the hopper that puts it out of most peoples budgets and you could get a decent electric grain mill from grainfather or get the maltmuncher from Kegland for that. having said that the Kegland mill is quite acceptable, i could have given you a grain mill but unfortunately i swapped this for a temp controller just a couple of months ago. i use a ozito spade drill on the slowest setting and works well , this is the same what Gash used when he was using the kegland grain mill (he now uses a electric mill multmuncher or the grainfather one setting up the grain mill is fairly easy with a 2 roller... however with the hopper putting that together is fun with the tiny screws my advice is to have the nuts on the hopper on the outside side so that grain doesn't get caught around the screws adjusting the rollers is pretty simple and basically on need it a credit card size (some grains you will have to adjust) Phil you might want to consider this option for $210 By the time you buy your Mill , drill and the mounting board you might as well buy the maltmuncher as it is an electric mill just worth a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, mate i also have the kegland grain mill that you was looking at (would love the mill master but cant justify that myself I would look into what it will cost you for eith ther the Maltmuncher that you put up + drill cost to the Kegland Maltzilla +hopper and board costs The reason i mentioned the keglands electric mill you wouldn't have to search for a drill but you will not be disappointed in the kegland hand mill @ $86 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a a few bulk grain options available in Adelaide that I can travel to instead of paying shipping. Cheers. I use a 20v battery powered drill from Aldi. At the time it cost something like $60. It's got enough oomph to drive the mill happily. Milling 5kg of grain takes less than 5 minutes including change of bucket and hopper refill. I know there are better mills out there but this one does the trick for me and it didn't cost s fortune. I usually have things delivered because it is cheaper to do so. Hoppy Days charges 10 bucks per 20kg or so. I cannot drive there for that. They're about 45km away on the other side of town but the quickest way there costs about $16 in toll alone. And if I order in the morning, I will have it the next day right at my doorstep when I come home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK all good info, thanks, I remember seeing drills at Aldi - most of their stuff is pretty good I have found. We don't have tolls but most of the LBHS are all close to me so it's no problem to pick up stuff apart from what I order in from KL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone actually got one of these Maltzillas? I've been interested in them for some time but a few videos i've watched shows grain pouring out of a gap where it shouldn't...
