This is my 20L Swan boiler modified with a ball valve instead of the stock plastic one.
I have done about 20 brews in this and is in good nick. Downsizing to stove-top boils so no longer need it.
Prefer pick up as boxing it up for a courier might be a bit difficult. I can deliver in the...
Hi,
Has anyone had any experience of the electric kettle in the link. I bought the gas version a few years ago and it’s served me well but am considering electric now. I’d use it for the boil, so was looking for something with a bit of space to minimise boil overs. Any other suggestions welcome...
Hi, I am after some advice about draining wort from the kettle to fv. I have recently got in to home brew again after a long break and did my first non-kit brew last weekend. It was the Elderflower Ale extract recipe from the revised Home Brew Beer book by Greg Hughes. I am using a homemade...
Hi there,
After about 3 years of brewing I have never done a "whirpool". I use "whirlpool" hops a lot but all this means is I shut off the heat, switch on the immersion chiller and then bung the hop bag in and leave it in there whilst the wort cools and until I have drained it into the FV. I...
I have just got myself a used Swan SWU20L tea urn (20L) that I will use for BIAB.
There is no heat adjustment, so I may have to rig up a PID to maintain a constant mash temperature.
After reading reviews on Argos, it seems that it will not maintain a rolling boil without some modification. Has...
Packed the wife and kids off for a forest walk and got all my kit sanitised and ready for a double brew day today. Switch the boiler on to heat the strike water, set the temperature and go off to grab the rest of the kit. When I came back the boiler was off and no matter what I do I can't get...
So I have a Brupaks electric boiler and I am doing all grain brews.
At the end of the boil when I tranfer the wort from the boiler to the fermentation vessel I generally tip the boiler to get all of the wort - waste not want not.
Usually I use a fine grain bag to strain the wort and there is a...
I have just bought a Klarstein Mash-kettle off Amazon for £209 and have now used it to brew an English Ale. I thought there might be somebody on the forum who might be interested in my review of it on Amazon:
It is an excellent piece of kit but the handbook is VERY misleading.
I brew in the way...
Disclaimer: I'm aware that there are ca. 15m discussions on modifying Buffalo boilers, but I'm not quite finding the answer to my problem. So here it goes...
I recently purchased a Buffalo GL349 (https://www.nisbets.co.uk/buffalo-manua ... iler/gl349), only to find out - while brewing - that it...
