First time using the plate chiller. It's so much better than an immersion coil. Once you've got the flow right it's easy!

Way to get people's back up!

Yeah it's secure enough. Been using it for about 9 months now with no problems. I just used some mole grips and hand tightened the nut!

This is what I did. Drilled all the way through then took a Stanley knife and carved out the plastic and foam! Works a treat! Be careful though!

I used this hop schedule for a 19l brew length 18g @ 60 mins, 10g @ 10mins, 10g @ 5 mins Turned out great but it needed a lot more aroma hops. I'd do 20g @ 5 mins and 20g @ 0 mins. Good hop though!

Excuse all the mess of lines etc!

It's in the kitchen next to the Parrot! The blackboard is a vinal chalkboard. Didn't quite get it on right as you can see so I'm gonna replace it soon! Other than that its the best thing I've ever bought!

Gonna have to get some o rings of some sort? Just wondered if anyone has done this and what did they...

Sorry no idea on that one! Maybe boil it up as like a tea, leave it to cool and throw it in! No idea how much though!

Decant it from the cafetierre and let it cool. Add it when your making your kit up!

Love it!

Ditch the Torrified. Does nothing for a brew, just up your pale malt or use wheat malt!

That looks very tasty indeed! Love a good handful of flame out hops!

I currently have a 38mm one but its borrowed from airymary. Ill be returning it prob next week so maybe give him a shout and see if you can borrow? If its ok with him I don't mind posting to you then you can send back to him!

Hi and welcome!

Agree, get the biggest possible! You don't have to do maximum capacity brews every time but you will have the option if you wanted to!
