Junk and disorderly
Sounds like a nice brew Honk.
Are the Styrian goldings the three way mix, or Aurora, Bobeck, Celeia separate?

Wort is taking an age to cool to pitching temperature despite being in ice water, meanwhile in true blue Peter fashion I'm trying one I made earlier.
by plate chiller do you mean a little metal thing with 2 ins and 2 outs ?
hi clibit im wanting to move from extract to ag, and was wondering can a 23l batch be made the same way as I would steep my grains in an extract brew ie like massive teabags. if not what extra equipment would I need
cheers
Went to bottle my first ag today which was pitched 13 days ago but it was still at 1020 so going to give it longer, smelt like beer though, amazing! Batch 2 still fermenting and Batch 3 is in the oven steeping as I type which is an attempt at a brains sa clone.
Ga3ryc look into biab brewing which is what I'm doing now but on a small scale (15 litre pot) time for me to go stir those grains.
I did wonder if I mashed at too a high temperature, my notes said 68 but after I posted a note here that evening saying it was taking a long time to cool I realized the thermometer was playing up. I reracked it to a new bucket and a few more days before minikeg / bottling won't harm it. Batch 3 is now cooling in the sink. The process is getting easier, I cooked and eat tea during the boil.:thumb:
didn't know how to tag lol, responded somewhere on this threadClibit doesn't post here any more...just has a very helpful legacy thread.
I have a peco boiler which is the same size as a fv that i biab with.
I never did extract brewing - what kit you have?
I know @MyQul does maxi biab - making a concentrated wort and then diluting for fermentation, which may be what you are alluding to.
I'm going to give this a go tomorrow and It will be my first AG brew as I have only used pre made all in one time kits in the past.I have gone for 750g MO and 250g of larger malt with cascade hops to see if I can get a nice light citrusy brew.Here's hoping...
