Hi guys, had an assessment day yesterday with a large brewery, what a day! Very hard had online psychometric tests for 11/2hrs last week then yesterday was tech rig assessment, tech interview, scenario exercise where a bottling line has gone **** up and you explain your rationale behind your...

+1 re thin beer from overnight mash, I did an overnight mash on my old 3 v system , was a citra gold 7.3% lovely pint not thin in the slightest. :cheers:

I've used murphy and son before, different sizes etc. :cheers: :thumb:

Probably come out with more fermentables , just watch the back end for tannins? Bit confused as you mention an overnight mash and mashing for 90 mins in same post? I guess the 75 min boil will add some more colour and caramelisation? Hope it goes well :thumb:

Nice one Tim, :thumb: my inaugural brew was a Bavarian Hefe on my 20L Braumiester! Still playing around with the best method of stopping hops from blocking outlet! Got some perforated stainless plate on order and the use of a folder and tig set at work. Hopefully be able to knock up a form...

Oooh lovely drop , brewing this next weekend but using Belgian pale malt 5.8kg and 450g wheat malt, will be interesting to see how it looks, :cheers: :thumb:

Good luck Brian , look forward to your findings re the mash schedule. :cheers:

Nice work. :thumb: have to say I've been looking into various options to use with the spiedel Braumiester. Might give this a go :cheers:

Just bottled this brew, finished out at 6.8% , added some spice steeped vodka to bottling barrel, first thoughts slightly dry finish with a little ginger heat, no distinct cinnamon or nutmeg flavours coming through, very little hop flavours as expected for this type of beer. Hopefully 10 weeks...

Homebrew: the most expensive money saving hobby in the world. ;) Bloody love it though and would change a thing :cheers:

Great job there Barry :thumb: , what temp will you be serving your beer at? I think beer engines have an allergy to temps below 53F (12C in proper temp) :D Seriously though nice work :hat:

That looks great , do you have a build thread? :cheers: :thumb:

+1 for calibrating your FV they can be quite inaccurate on the printed markings mine was a litre out at the printed 25L mark :cheers:

Yep a slippery dark path this AG lark! The shiny corner of the dark side is very hard to resist, Say goodbye to your pocket money for the foreseeable future! ;) :cheers: Well done on your wheaty ! If you like darker wheat beers Try adding 90g caramunich and 25g carafa II

Tim, Did the electrician put a small Consumer unit with an rcd in the shed? I'm just a little concerned about the number of sockets on what appears to be a 2.5mm2 cable? Realistically you don't want to plug 2 elements into a double socket , 2x10amps? Aleman is right , ideally you want 16amp...

Welcome to the smooth side of the dark side! I find that feathers are sharper than derby's although I'm currently using astra platinums. I recommend "Taylor's of bond streets Sandlewood cream" a tub is about £8 but will last you about 3months plus. I would also bUy an Alun block ...

Oooohh long wait til that's ready Brian, will he have the patience? ;) :cheers:

Had a Henry for a few years, I thought it was ok until SWMBO complained of a bad back when using it. We then bought a dyson animal DS50 I think, Jesus what a shock, knocked the Henry out of the park with the suction power, picked up loads compared to poor old Henry. Now for the negatives...

Well done, that's the worst one out of the way! Good choice of beer and welcome to the dark side ;) :cheers:

Try steeping some spices in vodka, I currently have a cinnamon stick, 1/8 grated nutmeg, 1/2 clove head and 1/2 tsp of dried ginger steeping in 80mls of vodka. When I taste my christmas brew at bottling stage I will add spiced vodka to the bottling barrel to my required taste level. flying by...
