I’m guessing it’s done, wouldn’t worry too much about the slight difference in reading, wouldn’t think it would affect taste too much. Ive had a beer that didn’t drop past 1.02 it was still good just slightly sweater

I would guess if it’s been the same reading for three days, it’s done. Has the temperature been stable? I did a brew same time as you and checked the reading yesterday, was 1.02. It was fermenting in the kitchen near back door so temperature has been varied. I had another beer in the brew...

Made my first loaf, it didn’t quite go as I wanted it to, and I was about to give up on it. Left the dough overnight to proof, put in my make shift proving basket on a muslin cloth with flour on, dough was very moist and I had to rip it off leaving it a sorry state. Put it in my Dutch oven. I...

I’d be interested to see your recipe once you find your notes

origoglass, they used to have prices on the website don’t appear to be on there now, you would have to contact for prices, not sure if they do small quantities or are aimed at companies

Ok will do thanks. If I want to make a bigger starter in the future, ie to do enough dough for a pizza party could I increase the amount of water and flour and add in all the starter

I’m a little bit late to this, I’m on day 4 now, I’ve been reading through the post and I’ve possibly misread, but in your initial schedule you say take 30g from the starter and add to 60g water and 60g water and later in the thread you say take 60g from your starter. Can you clarify should I be...

Will drop them a message

I’m thinking of contacting a local micro brewery to see if I can buy grain from them. Has anybody done this with success?

As above Crossmyloof for hops and yeast but grain is expensive from them, geterbrewed, the malt Miller, the home brew shop, Worcester hops. There are some discount codes in the sponsor forum section

Darlington, sorry should of added the price £200

Looking to sell my 200 L mash tun it’s just too big for my requirements. Pot is 65 cm outside diameter 63.5 cm inside diameter, height 68 cm. Comes with a welded triclamp fitting for the out flow, has a dial temperature probe, has a short termowell added as well ( although think the probe is too...

Brill thanks for your advice, I will do as you recommend, I had kept the hoses at the length they are due to using them on the mash tun and boil kettle which are further apart. I will cut to size and look to order more hoses if need be.

I added the whirlpool as a video not sure if it has uploaded as a video though!

Here’s my set up, took these when I was cleaning the vessels. I’m guessing you have answered my question already when the pump has issues it’s likely I’ve got air trapped in the line, I think I need to change the elbow to something straight. I originally put the elbow on as this was all I had...

I will check it for air trapped and make sure I don’t have a U in it. Do you manage to whirlpool successfully with it

do you ever get it where it fills in the pump and pushes half way up the pump but doesn’t have the pressure to quite make it until you play with the tubing and move the pump around

This is the on I have, can you get a whirlpool out of it? Didn’t seem to work for me

The beers that have gone for bad for me are when I used an out of date liquid yeast, I did too batches from the same mash and boil kettle one with dry yeast which turned out well and the other with the liquid, so it was easy to identify the problem. My second problem was and I don’t know why I...
