Decanted brew into other boiler & checked original boiler Very little scale - Edinburgh soft water Filled with water only & it did rolling boil OK Think I have identified the problem- didn’t use my hop spider for this brew & just added free flowing hops to boil Based on scale likely to...

To minimise mess through boil-overs, carelessness, clumsiness etc..., I tend to do my all-grain brew-days outdoors on my 3 level brew table (then chill, pitch & move my fermenter indoors). My boiler / hlt is a 1500W electric 35L tea urn with thermostatic controls from 30C - 110C. I have used...
