I'm in please!

Hi All, Looking to make this recipe by Siren Brew. http://www.sirencraftbrew.com/how-to-brew-ten-dollar-shake/ I've included my version below. I've got 4kg of bohemian pilsner grain ready to use instead of lager malt and also a belgian ale yeast (1214) instead of vermont. Do you think these...

Ouch. Properly suffering for your art there!

Do you lose a lot of temp in the FV? With the pot I'm worried about the grain burning on the bottom as I only have 19l pot and 6 kilo grain bill is a snug fit! Do you know anything about the ACE? Feedback seems positive and at 60 quid each for me and my friend, it seems reasonable?

Yeah I have enquired about this. Looks a lovely piece of kit. That's what I'm toying between. Something along those lines or the ACE. My only concern is would it still be tricky regulating the temp. I'm just thinking will I end up still wanting to get the ACE afterwards regardless?

I'm really tempted. You say RIMS system and a PID system. I'm not quite sure what RIMS is? When you say PID does this mean in order to maintain mash temp on an ACE I need to buy an additional piece of kit? Thanks for the advice! Richard

Hi All My friend and I moved to all grain three brews back and gave been really pleased with the results. We are however concerned about temperature loss in the mash. We currently mash in a fermenter with reflectix and blankets around it. We maxi BIAB brew. Wanting to invest in a mash tun but...

Has anyone got one of these? Currently losing a fair bit of temp in mash and considering this. Also am I right in thinking I could only Biab mash in this?

Brilliant. Manged to prize the bung out too so all set to go. Anyone got any recommendations as to where has the best price including p&p? Also my friend and I usually add 120g of priming sugar to a 20l batch. Some people say 30g in a 5l keg would either just produce foam or blow the keg. Is...

Awesome so did you just buy some of the new bungs off eBay? The hole does seem to look smaller than those off the YouTube videos mind I've watched...

I've bought one of the shipyard ones and unfortunately the bung dropped in. Take it I can't use it now?

Ah ok. Thank you. Have you got any/ revisions you could suggest? Thanks so much for your help.

Reason why it's low on beer Smith is because it doesn't count ibu of dry hop or flame out additions. Got told that they also count towards bitterness even if they don't show up on beer Smith?

Hi There, So my friend and I have started all grain brewing and up until now have been following other people's recipes. This is what we have come up with (using all the odds and ends that have left from previous batches. Just wanted some feedback before we go ahead and make it next weekend...

I'll have a read of this. Thanks for the advice both of you. Tempted just yo stick to bottling now! We are only on batch seven and so maybe should just stick to refining the quality of the beer first.

We do 120g in 20l so we're looking at 30g. Does that sound too risky then? Shame as I just brought two home!

Thinking of starting to keg some of my homebrew. I currently bottle condition adding priming sugar to the secondary prior to bottling. Would I be able to continue doing the same (I brew apa and ipa) but put them in these mini kegs rather than bottles? Also read somewhere you can re use...

Hi there! In the end we went three of maris otter, 2 of carapils and .250g of caramalt. Got some advice from our local brew shop. Fermenting away now so will see how it turns out. 7 c's is a mixture of all the hops beginning with c: e.g. citra and cascade!

Hi all, So myself and my friend are going to be experimenting with a Maxi BIAB brew at the weekend (20l from a 19l pot with two sparges). We want to make an APA but not really sure what grain to use. We were thinking a bill of 4.5kilos. We gave already bought 100g of citra and 200g of 7 c's...
