Thanks @Henders that is very useful, keen to try this soon!

@Henders if you have the time could you say a bit more about how you made your recirculating pump / what parts? There's lots of information out there but would be so helpful to hear about a version that actually works specifically with this machine!

I do pretty much the same as @Horners - and it does work fine. I have the Maischfest which officially takes up to 25l, no recirculating pump. I like the grain basket and the simple draining; sparging through it seems to work well, and I use jugs for recirculation and that is pretty...

Sadly the control box for my peco mashing/boiling bin seems to have stopped working (was fine on the last brew and then cleaned and put away as usual). It's the "Digital Mashing/Boiling Bin" model EB1D. I plug it in and although it flashes to life, and responds to buttons (so I can attempt to...

So, when I bottle my beers I usually stick the priming sugar in the bottling bucket, rack the beer onto it, then the gentlest of stirs and bottle away. It's always worked fine until... Tonight I finished bottling only to discover a significant amount of the priming sugar left at the bottom of...

Thanks for all the suggestions. It was cloudy on racking, yes (lots and lots of sediment left behind but even so... possibly it should have sat in primary for even longer after fermentation was done?). I didn't do kettle finings and I will definitely try that this time. I do cold crash but...

I've been making kit brews for a while, and having good results, and recently attempted my first all grain brew. I went for the DIY Dog Jack Hammer kit - it's a beer I like and I thought it would be easier to have a sort of kit structure. I followed the instructions (such as they are!)...

Hello - got this kit going (having had some good results from a previous Festival kit). A question, as a relative newbie: (much) earlier on the thread someone mentioned cooling in secondary to help settle everything - how cold / how long would you do this - assuming you want the yeast alive...
