So I could dough in with cold water at the start of the day and then set it on a delay to heat up to mash temp with the grain in it? Ready for me to come home? And does the pump turn on on a delay too?

I need to get more confident in using the tech. I don't know how to do anything clever like a delayed start or setting it to do anything in my absence. I don't have a WiFi thingy, so would I need to do clever things in the app?

With two young kids, I'm looking for ways to cut corners, but still do all grain brewing, always with an emphasis on saving time. I'm willing to give up some efficiency and cost along the way, so long as it saves time. Grainfather g30, bluetooth, counterflow chiller. Stainless fermentation...

I don't think this is that far off the truth. I do wonder. The taste is very apparent in the first mouthful of the first pint. I've wondered about co2 for a while.

Still Epsom! By Ewell west station. That's a great shout. I'll have a think about how best to make that work!

Well this is part of the problem. As well as having a **** palate at the best of times, COVID has really knocked my senses. It doesn't completely ruin the beer, I still drink it. But the best I can describe is that it's the same taste as before, but with a tang that seems to just get more and...

I'd love some advice if possible. But this isn't an all grain problem. I do a lot of extract beers, and corny keg them. Probably the last 5+ have all developed a sour taste after kegging. I think. I say that, because my taste is absolutely rubbish after COVID, so I'm not sure. it's a souring...

Hi Everyone, just after some thoughts. Typically an AG brewer using a GF and a kegerator, but having a 1 year old has basically put a stop to that. In the last 6mo I've tried kits, just to quickly keep the fridge stocked, but to be honest, they've been pretty poor and I'm getting fed up. Just...

Ubidots or GF app to track it? Just got my bday present out the bag.

I don't know whether anyone's got any thoughts here, but a bit of an update. I had a good go at the marks which I initially thought were rust, using BKF, with no change. They're rough to touch and I think they're scuffing when the previous owner had maybe used a drill paint mixer. Since then...

Hi All, I'm at my wit's end a little. I've inherited a stainless GF fermenter, no idea of its history. It's good, but there were some patches that look like rust / pitting. I've tried all sorts to get it out, warm PBW, conc star San (5x normal conc), vinegar, neat star San. I've tried...

Ah, some good ideas there. I will certainly consider an identical carbing next time, I was impatient. I did 40psi for 2mins of rocking and rolling on v1 and 3. The beer is always cold when doing anything, I understand that otherwise it doesn't absorb anything. The two taps are identical...

Good question. I wouldn't say flat necessarily, I would say pretty normal.

Hi everyone, I'm asking for help as I'm pretty baffled right now. I've recently build a kegerator with room for two ball lock cornies. Brew 1 got very frothy very quickly. I have 2m of 3/16 and I force carbed it at 40psi for 2 mins, potential for over carbing, but doubt it. It actually got...

I don't think its lager yeast, I think its a kolsch basically.

I know this one!!!

Love these!!! What great reads, thank you!!!

Hi all, I was hoping to read more about this on here, but a few hours of searching on here, and I've not really found much. I've now done two extract brews (IPA and Kolsch from Greg Hughes book) and used spraymalt both times. Any recipe I've read seems to suggest it's a given I would use...

Thanks for this Terry. One thing to consider then, is, if you dilute it down to 23l, do you then need to do that with tap water and boiled water to keep it at 25degC for pitching the yeast?

Urgh. Put this in the wrong section as I can't actually read. Sorry!!!
