That's a good point

I’ve recently acquired a shelf chiller and was wondering about the wisdom of using it to chill post-boil wort, either putting the wort itself though the chiller or using the cold water circulation from the shelf chiller to feed the immersion coil. I suspect it’s a bad idea and that it won’t...

I boil for two hours to get rid of as much protein as possible in an attempt to reduce chill haze. I've had mixed results, which is perhaps due to variations in the vigour of the boil caused by differing volumes. The article you link to mentions this, although I read it in Graham Wheeler's book...

Thanks - I got it from you :D. I also got the replacement unit from you, the pump from which is on its way back to you because its failed (we spoke about it a couple of weeks ago). To be honest I'm totally sick of the old one and just want rid. Its continued presence here reminds me of the...

I've now got it all put together and switched it on. As soon as its booted up it bleeps, tells me "Vessel has boiled dry" and, in red above where the target temperature is it says "sensor too hot". The only reference to this I could find is in this thread where Kegland advise waiting for it to...

Wow! Thanks. It's difficult to see how, if he had a 50% shareholding, that could legally be done behind his back (because, without his shares, it's impossible to get 50% + 1). Will you be providing updates here?

The bottom plate for the Brewzilla gen 4 malt pipe is stepped. Which way up should it go, with the middle being the highest or the lowest? I'm asking out of academic interest - I've used it both ways and not noticed any difference but they must've designed it that way for a reason

What court case?

Fantastic! Thanks very much

Thanks for the detailed reply, which is exactly the sort of thing I was wanting. There is indeed a little slack in the cable and I had come to the same conclusion that you have - cut the cable either side of the hole and rejoin. Fortunately though someone has offered to do it for me, and given...

No, and I wouldn't have a clue how to use it if I did

Thanks for all the replies but I've since discovered that the din socket will need soldering, which is something I can't do. My latest thinking is to cut the cable either side of the hole then reconnect it somehow. What do you suggest? Is it even possible to do this - in a normal situation you'd...

The sensor arrived a few days earlier than expected but on taking things apart to try and work out how to fit it I noticed this It seems the cause of the problem is my putting a screw through the wiring when I put the cover back on after replacing the power socket. I suspect that a replacement...

That's less than half the £34 I pay Hobbybrew! Time to start shopping around I think

Thanks. Its finally looking more like I was expecting. The only differences with an ale fermentation being a much thinner head and no obvious signs of movement in the wort (I have a clear fermenter). I've just take the gravity and its 1039 down from 1050 on Saturday so its heading in the right...

I don't suppose you've used the Apres Ski yet have you? I pitched some in a pils on Saturday and the appearance of the wort in the fermenter is more than a little different to the ale yeasts that I'm used to.

Good Point! Its ordered. I went for the cheapskate delivery option, so it due between 7 and 11th January

Thanks. Is the gen 4 the same part as the gen 3?

Yeah I saw that, but its the gen 3 version. I imagine they're the same but the fact that they specifically say gen 3 makes me a bit nervous. Anyway, like you say, they're out of stock so its academic really. I use google.co.uk rather than .com, which allows you to restrict results to just the...

Actually, I've now found this, but they don't export. Still, the part exists, I just need to source one in the UK
