Still have not changed it yet but upon inspection it looks like I will have to cut a new hole for an nice fitting but seems simple enough. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. The tap itself is very easy to remove. Cheers

Cheers. Hummm After watching that video I guess I should fashion a blow off tube then.:electric::cheers:

Thanks for your responses guy's. My Qul, that is what I was getting from both of those calculators too, thats why it confused me as the packet says the yeast is good upto 11% abv and one11.5g packet for 20 - 30 ltr wort but I thought it couldnt be right. Dad_of_jon I'm doing 21 litres in a 30...

Hi guy's I'm brewing a Tripel tomorrow and have the safale abbaye yeast. My OG should be 1.084 and will hopefully end up at 9.15% abv. I have two questions really, what are peoples experiences with this yeast and more importantly should I pitch 2 packets or one? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice guys, got the hop strainer and tap, and a qmax for the hole. I guess this will enable me to 'tip' the boiler to get the most out and minimise losses?

Sorry guys one last question. I might be being stupid but how do you take the base of the boiler off to replace the fuse etc. I want to know so that if it blows during a rolling boil I can replace it. The bottom has 1 screw and that's it but it does not want to come off. There is another screw...

Thanks for your help guys. i have adjusted my equipment profile to match. :cheers:

I have 2 x 167c fuses coming and a 130c thermal cut out on its way. Thanks for letting me know about the ceramic connector. I have been to 3 plumbing shops and all have no solution for me. So I think the way to go is to cut a 1/2 inch hole and change the valve setup. what a pain. As I said...

The washer covers the hole, just, 1mm over, but I'm not too confident. I think I will syphon into the FV after chilling this time unless that is a bad idea, but there must be a solution? Did buffalo adjust the design to throw a spanner into the works for the home brewers?

Hi guys I bought the bits to put a ball valve etc onto my new buffalo as a thread on here explained how but the hole has changed, it is no longer round. Will the how to guide still work or is there a new way of doing this ? I'm planning on brewing this Saturday so all replies appreciated.

Thanks for that. How come the dead space loss is zero on your profile even though the tap is 4 litres above the bottom of the boiler? You profile gives me hope. If I can drop dead space to zero it will all fit.

Hi guys a quick question for the Biab Brewers. I'm doing my first Biab on Saturday and have 6.2kg of grain. I'm using a 40litre buffalo. Brewers friend says I need 36.2litres of water. My equipment settings were for 2 litres of dead space but having just done a test it is actually 4 litres to...

I plan on doing a full volume BIAB on Saturday with the Buffalo I bought, I have ordered 2 x 167c thermal fuses and a 130c thermal cut out just in case. Thanks for all your advice guy's and I will you know how I get on. :cheers:

My kitchen is small, the element is hidden and I have an electric hob so thought this would be the way to go.

Thanks for the info marcarm. I would have thought buffalo would have guidelines of some sort.

Hi guys I hope you can help. My 40 litre buffalo gl349 arrived and I'm preparing for by biab session. My question is what temperature does it heat to via the 1 - 5 settings. The manual does not tell you so I assume 5 is max boil but 1 - 4 i have no idea. If I for example wanted it at 70 degrees...

Thanks for the replies. I have bid on and if I don't win I will order new a buffalo 40 litre boiler. I have ordered the parts from a thred on thbf and Wi change the tap. Then I hope I'm good to go much appriciated you lot. ☺

I have put my maximum bid. Fingers crossed.

So a tea urn type boiler with a ball valve tap and strainer fitted? I bet I can't find that on ebay. :) Is it easy to fudge the thermostat on the buffalo and replace the taps etc? Thanks for the advice guy's much appreciated. I know you have had these questions a million times but I just want...

As ready to go as possible, I don't mind fitting the element. Thanks for the link there seems to be some good stuff. Is there a rule of thumb when buying an electric boiler for biab or literally any will do?
