What you can't see is that there is a fine mesh disc below the coarse filter. From the bottom : coarse-fine- grain- fine-coarse. The coarse filter without the seal does let the odd grain by. Thanks for the info about the edging strip as I struggled with split silicone hose myself :thumb: :party:

Oooooh yes great fun being a dad, just when you get one sorted you stupidly decide to have another one! :doh: Best thing about being a dad is sniggering when somebody else says their wife is expecting, Another member of the club that no one ever tells you about!! You can easily spot the...

Make sure you don't leave aluminium in starsan!!! Stupidly left my Blichmann Thrumometer in with my hoses and stainless cam locks in a bucket of starsan. I now have a bubbling,blistered knackered thrumometer which has gone to the shiney place in the sky! Doh! :cry:

That Galaxy is a lovely hop, I dry hopped in my corni on my last galaxy smash, lovely hop flavour right to the end. Enjoy your beer :cheers: :thumb:

Just looked at IBC at work and the outlet looks a little too low to allow running wort off the yeast cake if used as a fermenter. Unless you syphon through the top inlet? :thumb:

+1 to using cooker switch socket for 1 element and garage socket for the other. :cheers: :thumb:

Hi there and welcome, You don't need separate HLT and kettle as lots of people use just the one boiler. You can run off your wort from sparging into your FV then decant into your boiler when you've used your sparge water. Have you thought about BIAB (Brew In A Bag)? With limited space this may...

+1to IBC they are about 1100L from memory so plenty of head space! I also thought about using one as a fermenter? Because the yeast cake would stay below the outlet ? I wonder if you could boil in an adapted one? Kinda like a big mango chutney boiler lol! :hmm:

There are pretty good, I like the fact I'm only using 3 drops of wort etc :thumb: :cheers:

Hi Brian, What elements so you use in your HLT& kettle? Cheers, Simon

Hi Tim, A word of advice , make sure you strip apart your dip tube assembly and clean it post boil, I made a copper dip tube similar to "swiggingpigs". I used a trimmed silicon hose to hold the dip tube in the outlet during use. It makes a lovely bug trap if your not careful as I found out...

This is a good question! For me it would be: 1, Brew fridge, assuming you mean with st1000 type controller! Heater etc and the ability to maintain a consistent fermentation temp ? This is important for any brewing. 2, AG set up, don't rush into stainless unless your loaded, you can make...

Well I used this on Friday for AG#16 Goose island ipa, I made an additional #40 mesh filter which sat inside this unit about 200mm long and with a return on the top lip. This 23L brew had 200g of hops in it so it's a good test of protection for the plate chiller. I'm glad to report that...

Bugger didn't check this thread, I didn't get my PM by the way as i didnt think it would kick off until Dec. oh well...... :cry: enjoy all :cheers:

+1 to hop rocket upside down I also use a homemade disc of #40 mesh . My rig is : Braumeister - hop rocket - Plate chiller - FV. All done within 10 mins max , in fact Fridays brew AG#16 Goose Island IPA clone chilled below 18C had to throttle back flow for second half. Still learning ;)...

None of them will be as good as your own ;)

No, you can use it for FG just need to use calc or app :thumb: :cheers:

So is this kinda like a decoction then? Or just a separate partial mash added in?

You can't read the scale post ferment as the alcohol content skews the reading of these instruments hence the need of calculation or app to give you the corrected result. Otherwise it looks like your fermentation has stopped early! And that is how I found out ;-)
