Any folk comment if this would be correct. I have some dried lactic acid that I would like to mix with distilled water to make a liquid solution. I believe it is 88 percent. Is it as simple as 88 grammes of lactic acid to 100ml distilled water. Fwiw it is the generic homebrew repacked stuff...

Folks I've hopefully secured a maxi single line beer chiller that i want to use as a glycol chiller for cold crash and maintain fermentation temp. I'm not familiar with the maxi set up but understand they have an internal pump to agitate the glycol around the chiller and then I would need a...

Got to admit i think mine is absolutely awesome linked with the controller. Should have come out initially as wireless that would have saved a load of issues. I use mine in bluetooth so don't have any of the connection issues. Guess your charging Base must have been. Poorly

Have pick up with a ton payload and and a grain Mil, not sure where i'd get the wine though. Jof can split it between us, I've got a dustbin and wheely bin to store???

I agree. I found brewing in the kitchen much easier than outside and a whole lot more pleasant when. It's 3 degrees outside.

So the total pre boil volume takes into account boil off rate so 15l mash plus 15l sparge would give you roughly 28l to boil taking 2l out for grain absorption. 4lph boil off open gives me 24l. 15l mash plus 13.1l sparge gives pre boil of roughly 26.1 taking the 2 l for grain absorption remove...

My boil off is about 4lph lid off and about 1.9 lid on if that helps

Yoy You don't, you use less water in the spare

If you use brewing software I use Brewfather, and do the boil off test that Kee gives you instructions to do in the Kegland video, you just adjust your boil off rate in the software at it does the rest. I have just ordered the brewzilla sight glass which will allow me to also keep an eye on...

Apparently not as the steam is pulled out by the condensing head. I did about 15l in a 90 min boil, and yes it is connected to a tap

No idea but when I'm outside i need to keep the BZ at at least 2040w to keep a boil with the lid off. With the condenser lid 300w to do the same and no smell

Don't know but squirted with starsan before screwing in.

I don't disagree but it means I can brew in the winter in the kitchen without having to jack up additional extractor. Side benefit is that it also uses significantly less energy.

The other thing I forgot to mention is I only used about 15l of water for a 90 min boil which was much less than previously and I could use it for cleaning.

Why not if you can drill stainless.

You do a test run to measure boil off per hour and adjust accordingly. I use brewfather so just changed the boil off rate. Hit my numbers perfectly on the last brew.

So when I first tried this with a lager I got a puke from a boil over despite having powered right down I did a bit of reading and it suggested that this was because the drain is so small. It is very small when you look at the inside of the TC fitting and having something more open would help...

And in action.

Impressive isn't it. I opened up the bottom with a couple of bits off of Ali. I got it down to 30 percent power with a really strong rolling boil.

You could do but I just heated it and wound it on down. Just starting a new pinter brew. Probably won't leave it on but use it to mange the pressure but you probably could
