Normal alcohol consumption for me is 1 or 2 pints (at 5 to 6% ABV) and 2 glasses of wine for 6 days of the week, plus a 30ml measure of a spirit (I'll drink almost anything) on 1 of the 6 days. . . . . . I've not counted the units but I know that it's too much. Fortunately I don't put on any...

Yes, the low temperature storage advice does seem a bit strange in relation to how it would be used in practice. The reason given on the product TDS is because the product degrades with time and temperature. I am not a biochemist, so cannot explain exactly why this is. Enzymes are like...

Hmmm . . . . . Sorry about that, and no I don't have a link. I didn't bother searching eBay for Auer products because I remembered them informing me shortly after I had bought from them that they were setting up an on-line sales channel for buyers of small lots (like us homebrewers). It's a...

Thank you for your comments. And yes, I do realise that glucanase is already present in malted grains, but my frustration with the performance of my BZ together with your obvious enthusiasm for the stuff convinced me that it would be worth a try . . . . . However, I had not anticipated that it...

If you want some good quality, food safe PP brewing buckets, you might like to try this company (see attached). I bought several large buckets/pales from them a few years ago, and they are excellent. At the time I bought them they did not do business on-line, but they now sell through eBay...

Many thanks to you both. I was busy yesterday, but I will follow up the contact with this company, and will report back :thumbsup: 🤞

I didn't see that one. Sorry for the repetition.

Yes, but it is also possible that the modern process for blow moulding PET beverage bottles does not lend itself to "moulding in" the symbol in the same way that can be done with injection moulded articles, like the buckets and pales that we all use. It's not impossible to do it, but there is a...

Thanks, I've just had a look at their products, and I assume that the one you are referring to is the "CraftZYM Ruby". Unfortunately the picture is not big enough to read the label with the storage and handling advice, and unlike Murphy & Sons they don't appear to publish H&S data on their...

It is worth pointing out that not all PP vessels are designed, nor are they suitable for packaging and/or storage of food and beverages. So, if it doesn't say so, then it may not be so. The "food safe" symbol is a good guide, but may not be present in all cases. So, if in doubt I would suggest...

Update Unfortunately the offer by BenParr (above) to repackage beta-glucanase into smaller bottles for resale to homebrewers is not going to fly. Further research into the storage and handling of this product has revealed that in order to preserve the already time limited shelf life, it must be...

Thanks for the link, and sorry for not acknowledging your post sooner, but I've been away on holiday for a fortnight with almost no access to internet. Unfortunately this is not what I've been looking for. The problems I've had are almost certainly due to the stickiness of grains like malted...

DH's methods may well have some merit. I'm pretty sure that keeping the wort moving around the system as fast as possible improves the heat transfer to the grain bed. I've not tried the step mashing very often, so I haven't had much opportunity to test out different ideas yet. But your technique...

I can't speak for other Brewzilla owners, and I certainly fall into the category of "tinkerer", but my issues are nothing to do with efficiencies. I have been getting overall efficiencies in excess of 70% all of the time, and sometimes up to ~80% - So, this if fine. My main concern is the...

That's an interesting idea. I'll take a look at the video when I have a bit more time :thumbsup:

Thank you very much for your suggestions, and comments about my thoughts on the height vs diameter. You may or may not have noticed on another thread that a UK homebrew supplier has stepped up, and is seriously considering repackaging the bulk glucanase into 100ml bottles for resale. If this...

First of all thanks for your support so far. I will try to write a product description before I go on holiday this weekend, and will e-mail it to you. However, please be aware that it will be based on proprietary information available on the internet, not on personal experience (because I...

Thanks - I like a bit of encouragement from time to time wink... I also had never had any issues in the past with my old brewing kit using quite high percentages of wheat. My old mash tun is short and fat rather than tall and thin like the 'grain pipe' on the Brewzilla. I'm pretty sure that the...

Yes, the plug will stay in place without a nut. It has the same thread size as the plate and the central tube. And yes, they are "food safe" If you do decide to order one then you will need to specify: Hexagonal plug 1/4 BSP Hope this helps athumb..

I've started a new thread under the Group Buys subject (Is there any interest in a possible group purchase of glucanase (aka beta glucanase)?) It seems to be generating some interest. A homebrew supplier has suggested that they may be willing to repackage it and stock it if there is sufficient...
