    New piece of shiny - Hydra immersion chiller

    I talked with the Chillinator guys on Facebook, and they said their product is similar to the Hydra efficiency and they also could provide custom size/shape for no additional price - at least for Brew Monk Magnus, which sounds great. I was thinking to buy the Hydra, but actually I prefer to buy...

    Chocolate Vanilla Porter - a few questions...

    Following @JonBrew advice I found a medal winning porter and it is already in the fermenters:) For 35 liters I am planning to add for secondary about 60 grams cocoa, and and also vanilla extract (hard to find beans in the locals tores) soaked into rum. However, I am not sure about the...

    New piece of shiny - Hydra immersion chiller

    Hey, do you know what was the tap water temperature you were using during that chilling? For example, here - Sofia, Bulgaria, the outer temp is about 32°C, and cold tap water is 23-24°C. Friday I was trying to chill with a stainless 6 meters serpentine, but bellow 40°C it was really slow, and I...

    Chocolate Vanilla Porter - a few questions...

    Yes, actually the Brew Monk Magnus is described as 45 liters batch size, 52 liters boil volume, but in the Brewfather app, the batch size is limited to 42 liters...may e because of the fact you mentioned. In my case I will try to have 35 liters bath size as this is the capacity of the...

    Chocolate Vanilla Porter - a few questions...

    Yes, I also feel the recipe is complicated as a first try, but I want to prepare some good beer for Christmas for home and also for the colleagues in the office, and as porter needs more time to maure, that's why I would like to do it now, so I will have about 4 months for secondary.

    Hi, i just bought the Brew Monk Magnus and am looking already for some improvements. An Ausie friend told me about the lauter helix to replace successfully the bazuka filter.

    Inkbird probe / jiffy bag question

    As I understand it, you drill a hole in your fermenter and mount that thermowell. Then put inside the probe, so the well is inside the beer, but the probe does not contact with it so to prevent contamination.

    Inkbird probe / jiffy bag question

    I am afraid I will not be able to drill the hole myself an if I try I will ruin the 304 steel fermenter. May be I will ask someone to do it for me, but for now I will use the sponge/bubbles option.

    Inkbird probe / jiffy bag question

    When the probe is wrapped in a sponge or bubbles, do I need to tape to the fermenter side, or I just can leave it next to the fermenter? I am using first time the ITC and in the beginning I just taped the probe the the fermenter side, then someone told me it will be more accurate to put the...

    BeerBox, Mini Keg or different solution?

    Hello, What do you think is a better solution for kegging: BeerBox or MiniKeg? The problem is that I do not have enough space for a kegerator, so I am searching for a solution similar to mini kegs where you have options for 2, 4, 5 liters that you can easily cool in the fridge. And the...

    Brewster Beacon or Brew Monk All in One Brewing System?

    So in my case it seems Brew Monk would be more convenient because of the extended warranty and because the shop is like 5km from home:)
