Only problem with wheat additions is the tendency to gel at mash temps which can impact the drain and can result in a stuck mash

to aid measuring your boil volume easily, employ a dipstick, currently as my boil kettle is a 50cm diameter pot i get away with a SS ruler 0.5cm = 1l ;) but in my old 5 gallon system i used a ss racking cane with a cabletie tightly atached at the level of 5 gallons in my kettle. this gives...

my tips.. #1 ensure you dont use any soaps or detergents in the clean up, these all contain head killing elements that resist rinsing off.. generic unscented laundry oxi makes a very effective poormans PBW and works very well with no rinse sanitisers.. #2 if all else fails get yourself a...

with a pump, you attach beerline to the tap instead of a spout,,

check out smartpid http://smartpid.com/ , its the most complete control unit of the size.. otherwise a reflashed stc1000 with the one vessel brew system control firmware might be worth a look, Its what im using atm. https://github.com/matsstaff/stc1000p

how is the induction hob controlled?

grab yourself a copy of the Yeast book https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0937381969/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It answers all your Q's, demystifies all the science, and contains clear instructions on setting up a home yeast bank (sandwich box at the back of the fridge) simply keeping a jar of...

Yes go for it, the priming charge you added in the PB will have evacuated any remaining air through its seal breach so the beer is fine just unconditioned. personally i would simply dose each bottle with white sugar before filling,imho there will be no need for yeast even in the clearest of...

liquoring back to increase the volume and dilute the strength is the only way to overcome the limitation of the boil kettle volume. you could with minimal extra kit grainbag and coldbox, squeeze a 2nd brew into the session, perform a longer mash in the coldbox while you brew one brew in the...

dont worry about dates on dried yeast packs with intact seals. the only reason yeast carries a best before date is due to its classification as a food product and all food products for human consumption Must have a BBD.... The yeast however in a sealed pack will remain viable for decades..

Tho not when it hits freecycle ;) - always worth posting a want..

I cant recall why or where from, but the value of 10-20% of the productive grain bill is lodged in the back of my bonce. so with a 4kg grain bill 400-800g :) , tho that may refer to rice hulls?? I have no experience with them but those numbers are yelling at me after reading the thread.. Wish...

OP is buying the beer not brewing it and without some form of restriction that tap is gonna pour nowt but foam if you serve at a condition retaining pressure.. those connect to keg taps(without flow control) are useless for anything but nominal pressure pours.. Nice try but Back to the drawing...

#1 kegs feed taps and casks feed pumps, to keep beer in a cask from oxidising with air drawn in as you pull pints a cask breather to feed in a low pressure level of co2 from a regulated co2 supply would be wise unless you plan of drinking it all in a day or two. but for a one nighter its not...

Nice one Bri, im still reeling from the idea of a 6kg grainbill for a 11l brew ;) Because your brewing strong beers, if your boiling with the g/f sat on the floor?? you may want to get 2x shorth lengths of 2x4" or 2x3" to sit the machine on as this will give you the ability to slip a hand...

just hook the cooling coil upto the recirculation/python pump and recirculate the water held in the maxi waterbath. Just be midfull to sit the chiller at the level of the FV top or higher and to top up the waterbath when the plumbing has been added and filled before use. sitting the chiller...

afaik yes, however i will fall back on free brewing s/w to check recipe changes on the fly and gauge the expected results. been a while since i did a last minute change but brewmate http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/BrewMate.shtml is a basic fairly intuitive tool that allows...

i am useless with cad s/w if needed i can open the icecream tub containing the fridge controller and take a few snaps. but lets take it one step at a time.. 1) get bits n tools together, including some spare flex suitably rated (1mm sq minimum) to cut up for connecting wires, and a 3 x...

after a quick look at the link and the diagram it contains with the neutral link between relay terminals i can understand some doubt creeping in.. Thankfully no such helpful diagram was available when i wired up my fridge to a similar device, and i can say that you can wire it up just as you...
