Welcome to the Darkside!

Too drunk to remember how to put photos into this thing obviously :cheers: My new shiney! http://www.flickr.com/photos/33273852@N04/8027670594 Close up of the flow thru the grain tube http://www.flickr.com/photos/33273852@N04/8027668416 This unit is fantastic...

I would guess the one on the left too...

My first brew went like yours. I used a hop sock and then gave up on the idea, split it open and chucked it all in. I thought i had a blockage so stupidly used the pump DONT DO IT! during the boil in manual mode (had to dig out the hops after!). The lid issue i had the same, overboiled so gave...

PM me and i will email you the Braumeister profile for the 20L which i found by accident on a website.

Re the water - I was following the computations that Beersmith gives for correcting the water type from 25Ltrs of Hard London (Thames Water) to a Burton Midlands one...i guess you all think this is wrong I will have to go back and check on it when i get home. I did take some pics and will add...

Well much to my annoyance getting the unit and stuff together for my first brew on this machine the supplier sent me a kilo of the wrong grain! :( So i had to work something out on my Beersmith to come up with an alternative plan due to having no other grains or to waste the brew water i made...

I have just ordered it today for delivery on Wednesday - Cannot wait!

I'm a Dorset Boy! Used to go to Burley to get Snake Catcher Scrumpy every week in the Summer. Looks like a good reason to go down again if another brewery is opening.

Well, i have been contemplating purchasing the unit from Vigo - i have been looking at buying one for 6 months. I nearly brought one last week when i called for an updated price £1100 for the 20L and £1600 for the 50L then they added - plus VAT! Well i made my apologies and walked away from...

After taking the day off sick (sorry boss) due to having only one eye to focus with, I decided while the SWMBO was at work i get a brew on. I remembered after i moved house i ordered a kit over 7 months ago and completely forgot about it. This is a full kit supplied by...well i thought they...

Great thanks guys! I will try and get a brew on this weekend.

I just realised that i moved in my new place over 7 months ago and at that time i ordered a grain kit with the grains crushed, would it still be ok to use if it was sealed? Im sure the fresher the better, but should i chuck the kit and get a new one? Thanks for your help, C

I have brewed Wherry 3 times and still cannot get enough of it! It is a fantastic brew sadly my local pubs dont stock it!

Decided while i have 2 carboys just screaming out for me to fill them so i'm going to make some cider for Xmas. I found out during the house move i lost my cider yeast, so im going to mix some champagne and wine yeast together to get the fix and the alcohol. 4.5 Ltrs of Tesco pressed Apple...

I think with the wealth of experience and ability, i think we as a group could create a similar controlled system and the profits made from the sale could go to the website maintainence. For 600-800 quid for a similar system i would buy 2 of them for definate! What do the other think?

Here is a stupid question - :lol: My CO2 Tap and pressure release valves have black deposits on it (on the inside). I cannot seem to clean this with any solvents allowed within the home, so have given up on it. I also had problems with my last 3 brews with a metalic taste and have been...

I am after information if this controller is programmable by the user? Cannot seem to find this info on their website. Anyone have one and give some pointers on whether you would recommend one to others? The kit is expensive at £1,900 for the 50L unit from Vigo UK, but i am tempted to buy...

Yeah, i have been about. Just a day off sick, thought i would make something of the time.

Did i toast my oats? No i did not, wish that i had now!
