    Bargain! I'd been looking on amazon for similar as my first toe into the BIAB world - so this is just perfect! Thanks for the heads up.

    BIAB - Numpty Questions

    Good spot - I missed that it's 30L and not 35.

    BIAB - Numpty Questions

    This looks even more of a bargain, with recirculation and more advanced controls. Any thoughts? https://www.amazon.co.uk/VEVOR-Home-Beer-Brewer-Auto/dp/B0B4SZT6X1

    BIAB - Numpty Questions

    Thanks. Does the basket sit on a ridge somewhere in the main vessel to allow it to be lifted up but supported, or will it need an external support / pulley /hook type setup?

    BIAB - Numpty Questions

    One final question (sorry... For now!). I read that the coil is 8mm OD. Anyone know if I can just use John Guest speed fit / duotight fitting on it?

    BIAB - Numpty Questions

    Perfect - thanks. I guess it means a sparge is usually needed then as you can't squeeze out thr basket?

    Can you use the basket in place of a bag for BIAB?

    BIAB - Numpty Questions

    Thanks for this! I was looking at something from The Malt Miller for a similar cost https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/biab-brew-in-a-bag-40l-electric-kettle-kit-modified-grainfather-sparge-water-heater/ But this has no digital temp control, and doesn't come with cooling coil etc. That...

    iSpindel

    It basically means that the 90deg calibration, and therefore all measures, will be off by a couple of degrees and this will knock on to the SG output being slightly out. It may be that the calibration process can compensate for this, but I always understood that the 90deg should be done when the...

    Also make sure when doing this that the lip of the tube is over the edge of the surface and not 'propping up' the tube.

    MJ Graprefuit IPA - additional hops or juice?

    I'm brewing MJ Graprefuit IPA again this week. I have 100g each of additional citra and mosaic and was going to add these with the included dry hop sachet. But a bit of googling suggests adding 1l of pink grapefruit juice is a good plan. I'm looking for something like Elvis Juice. It'll be...

    Tap and line cleaning

    Cleaned mine this morning... 4 disconnects on 3/8 Eva barrier kegland line, John Guest splitters from one disconnect t piece. Pushed 1.5l of purple through the lines and then flushed with chemsan. Took about 10mins and worked perfectly. 👍

    Tap and line cleaning

    Interesting that you used the jubilee clips. Have you found that the pressure pushes the pipes off the disconnects without these? I dont have them, and am yet to test the setup! I was only expecting to use about 2-3psi

    Tap and line cleaning

    I've just made the same with a selection of fittings from Ali. Should be able to clean all 4 of my lines and taps using a 1.5l pepsi pet bottle of purple cleaner followed by a few flushes of chemsan. Pressure will be from my CO2 tank rather than hand pump. It'll need so little gas that it's...

    iSpindels

    These are the nautilis relays. They act as a display and WiFi relay for the ispindel and can be placed right near your brew location. I'll be building the larger hi res screen ones with usb c power sockets. Prob available in the next 7-10 days when all the bits have landed!

    iSpindels

    Just a heads up.. I'm planning on doing the ispindel relays shortly. Just a limited few to start, and to gauge interest. But drop me a line if you're interested and I can start a list. 👍

    Depends on how strong your wifi is - but if that's OK, then yes. Mine is in a fridge at the end of my garage - but I don't use ss.

    iSpindels

    Are you likely to be brewing up to 1.08? If not, then dont worry about it and use the 2nd degree polynomial. You always have to keep in mind that you'll only every get an approximate result unless you directly measure the SG. The iSpindel can be very accurate, and is great for monitoring the...

    Fermzilla Dry-hopping via PCO 1881 Ball Valve - Stuck Pellets

    I wondered a out this too, but even just to the value I think it would be too tall for me. I can take the fv out of the fridge to add the bong when needed, but that valve makes it too tall. 😭

    Ispindel Battery Life

    Where did you get it, and what control board is it using? The clone wemos boards can have huge battery drain due to deep sleep issues. You really want a genuine Lolin D1 board.
