I have been after a recipe for this for ages, all i know is they use water from their own well, so we wont know what the composition is which could make quite a difference. A mate of mine just had a tour around the brewery (work related) and he said they were very secretive about stuff, they...

i used to brew kits a few years back and they had a certain taste to them, since going all grain i can say you would not look back, the initial outlay is worth it, but do look into building your own as it is a lot cheaper, i have only been doing AG for the last 6 months and have all ready moved...

Can some of the harshness be removed by First Wort Hopping? i think i read that some where but can't find it again

Thanks TS thats the sort of reply i was hoping for, research says it shouldn't make any noticable difference, but until someone says they had done it and confirms it, you never know if you should try and maybe waste a days work and a brew coz it ends up tasting like ****.

When using hops for bittering is it correct to assume that most of the flavour is lost due to the boil (90mins for me) if this is correct would it be poss to use a high AA hop just for bittering then aroma and flavour hop of what ever the recipe calls for? without altering the overall flavour of...

Good job there arturobandini, :thumb: I was going to use my boiler today but got distracted by a blocked sewer and other things. :cry: I have the elements earthed and sheilded, SWMBO's aussie hair conditioner bottles fitted perffectly so out came the knife. :whistle: I'm having bit of a...

thanks JB, i dont have wheat malt either, i hadn't planned on doing this recipe but the LHBS didn't have any target hops so i got some challenger along with styrians and had to re think what i was going to brew. i didn't notice any nutty flavour in the bottle of fortyniner i had at the weekend...

Hi brewers i am planing a ringwood fortyniner tomorrow the recipe has 100g of torrified wheat for 23lt brew length but i havent got any will this have a noticable flavour change or is it just to aid head retention

not quite the same, i currently use a brupaks stainer, bottom of the page http://www.brupaks.com/boilers%20mashtuns.htm although it works well i am going to make a bazooka T strainer http://www.zymico.com/bazooka/ for the FV cupboard i am using celotex kingspan boards, easy to cut and ridgid...

HLT = In my HLT i am only having one element, you could set a timer so it switches on before you get up so when your ready to brew it would be at a good temp, plus you have another 60-90 mins during the mash to heat up the water for sparging. but 2 elements would get to required temp quicker...

it's suppost to use less water, the guy using it has an FV filled with ice water and recirc's it

Here's my first effort in photoshop, need more practice.

yes i will be insulating the tun i have a camping mat i got from freecycle and will get some thermo wrap from wickes and give that a go if it needs more i can always add to it, i have an old sleeping bag i can wrap round also, it might not look pretty but it does the job if you don't need the...

i did 38mm for the elements and filed them out a little so you should be good with 40mm as long as the cutters don't wander too much, i used asda elements which are 40mm i believe the morrison's elements are 38mm, and 22mm for the taps but i could have used 20mm but that wasn't in the set i had...

just got in from work and saw your post mate. i was going to say i used a screw driver and released the gas and got a beer shower at the same time. i used a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a 1mm cutting disc all i did was rest the disc gaurd against the rim and cut around, go slowly and don't try and...

It's not that much copper, if you allready have an IC it could be made with an extra 18" (the pic is a little miss leading, the very outer section is just a reflection of the boiler)
