@BackToBasics If it helps, then I checked out the Robobrew/Brewzilla, Klarstein Brauheld like Ade's, the BrewMonk, Royal Catering (eBay) and the Hopcat. Both Brewzilla and Hopcat have pre-order package deals and Hopcat would have pipped it if it were not for the reviews here and elsewhere...

Many thanks for all your responses. :hat: I've spent hours online looking at parts, sketching stuff and comparing options and estimates. Then yesterday's brew day settled my mind (fecking mess with mash bags, colanders, incessant squeezing!). I've treated myself to this, as I couldn't resist the...

Nice and clear!

Wrong thread! That's what a full brew day, not enough food and a strong beer at the end does to your concentration!! 🤣

Cheers for looking, but far exceeds what I'm willing to pay.

It doesn't make any mess at all. As for cleaning, I rinse with warm watering it's finished and leave to air dry. On bottling day I clean with a solution of milton. Kegs used 3 times to date and no problems and hopefully for a good while yet.

Houblon Chouffe. Very nice indeed!

Bottling yeast...how much and how if you don't have a bottling bucket? Just a couple of grains per bottle?

Cool, thanks. I've got a strong stout planned and have CML kveik voss

Hi Beercat. How soon were you drinking your stout?

It's really nice. But take note...

Cool. What's wrong with the Klarstein?

Hi. All the ones I can find are painted black. with the apertures they have, I'd have to use a bag, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Thanks

Bugger. Found this although I'm not sure about shipping. https://m.alibaba.com/product/62232172894/310-290mm-KS041-stainless-steel-beer.html?spm=a2706.amp_ws_detail.contact#click:btn-buy

Hi. To save faff holding a laden bag of hot, wet grain and squeezing over the pot (forget pulleys), has anyone got or seen a basket? Even one that can be mounted to the mash kettle like on expensive electric boilers? I've seen something like this but 100 quid 😕. I'm looking for an equivalent for...

20 ish °C warm for two weeks, then 2 weeks in the cold (can a garage really be cold just now?) before you tuck in. I try and fail to not at least sample on the latter 2 weeks 😁

Yeah! Imperial IPA followed by an Imperial Export Porter. Time to chill.......

A nice spicy saison. Reminiscent of the MJ saison
