    Heating belt v''s heating paf

    Which yeast are you using, perhaps consider using something like salsafe US-05 which can iirc ferment happily down as low as 12c ;) whats the current gravity? if at the tail end of primary yeast activity may have simply slowed and stopped imputing heat into the FV, depending on the strain it...

    Corny Keg Beer Flow Problem

    its a consiquence of a drop in pressure along the length of beerline/chiller between tap and keg,( closer to the tap the pressure drops.. ) And perhaps a difference in temperature post chiller of the line when stood still and perhaps unlagged?? the beer looses some condition to both the...

    HEINEKEN PUMP SET UP.

    a meter in continuity mode may detect which wires are paired for each circuit, however the extra wires may also be additional lighting features all sharing a common ground. more than 1 lighting mode would be my best guess as its a cheaper and easier solution to adding effects or changing modes...

    HEINEKEN PUMP SET UP.

    could be ?? why not strip it down as far as you can? any servicable elements should be accessable. failing that apply power, any relay/solanoid should be audible in a quiet room if switching.

    BIBA Equipment

    yes in a lot of cases the 'small' labels are on identical h/w just re-badged, if they all originate from the same factory in china or its a case of duplication of a successfully selling design i could not say. as a grainfather user/fanboy i can say that the kettle rims concept works, the...

    Stock pot for biab

    mainstream marketing and delivery to the UK was knocked on the head due to lots of returns as a result of courier mishandling and damage. the boxes they are delivered in are not that substantial. So its a wise precaution to simply dive in and open the box and inspect the pot before signing for...

    A new mash tun required, upgrade options

    Just to clarify i had great fun building my herms coil and controller for use with my original placky brewery, but once it was working as expected it was a relief to brew without its 'complication' and without the extra clean up it needed too. And FYI since treating myself to a grainfather for...

    Is my beer off.

    Yeast fermenting can kick out some delicious smells but can also knock out a few pongs, all depends on both yeast and conditions, so an off smell during primary is only worth taking note of, it may? prove to be something but you have stacked the odds against anything bad happening with your...

    Stainless Steel kettle element?

    If you have the same 1.5kw elements i used, (lil red placky backing shroud) they are SS and will probably outlast any peco element options.. so hang on to em, perhaps add a 3rd if you need extra oomph. as for boil pots, the thin ss used for stock pots (especially the bargain 'bergland'...
