if you don't mind spending £69 the rg550 at this price (brand spanking new) is an absolute bargain. It needs a balance loop, which is easy to make, and comes with stainless head, drain port, mag drive etc I have a totton Gp 20/12 and a rg550, and to be fair, with the balance loop, the RG now...

Evening all, One thing that is worrying me about going gas is the heat wash around the outside of the copper. Do I need to mount the ball valve a bit higher or should I not worry? cheers, John

Did a small test today. the burner in conjunction with the 0.5-2 bar reg got 30L of tap water (12c) to boiling in about 26mins, outside, in the wind.... So in the brewshed out of the wind it should a bit quicker (yes there is enough ventilation in there). Just waiting for the beer belly...

Pot has arrived from Nordic, 4 days, not bad. Picking up a 19kg propane bottle on saturday morning, have a supplier 100m from my front door :-) nearly there..

I need a bottle of gas first, oh and my pot from Nordic :-) Hopefully by this weekend. Then just wait for these from beerbelly in Auz thanks to Mrs Munky (birthday pressie) :-)

Fokker burner, 0.5-2bar reg and pipe arrived today :-)

Rang them and the guy said "you making beer?" I said yes, "Grand! that's what they all buy" So fingers crossed. :D

Thanks Aleman, I went for the 0.5-2bar reg, do you think I should change it out for a fixed low pressure one? J

Hi all, I have finally bought the final shiny for the wort production side of the brewery (100L nordic from the lovely Nadine). Now, my current boiler (70L nordic) has 2 3kw immersion elements and it's a bugger trying to keep boil that I like, with 1 element it's not enough, with 2 on it's...

Evening all, I haven't been able to brew lately as I've put my back out :-( So i've been sat planning instead. A question I have had for a while is about liquoring back. All the calcs seem to work out the gravity but not the IBUs? How do you work out the final IBUs of say 40litres of 1050...

Update on the beer: Kegged tonight at 1.012 cloudy (us-05), fined with gelatin. The sample I took is absolutely awesome, hop balance is spot on, the water treatment has worked a charm. I have to admit I took a 1L <cough> quality control sample between filling kegs :-) p.s. I can taste the...

Not throwing anything away, the totton is going to be used for pumping on the copper side, RG550 for Liquor/HERMS side. :-)

Picking this and associated cpc disconnects tonight care of Gurgeh from JBK. What a nice chap :-)

Have a goodun mate

Bubbling away nicely as of this evening, awesome smell coming out of the airlock :-) On the HERMs pipework front. I may have a solution :-)

That'll be my problem then, maybe I should hard plumb it. They have SNPA in my local (and probably your local) Tesco superstore £1.69 per 330ml bottle Cheers, John
