New Allgrain set up starting in garage

[Justin Dean]

It is a good idea. I might do the same as i was going to use the tap itself as a throttle

Though of course the grainfather cooler is not copper

Just been used. By throttling back to improve efficiency I managed to cool 23l with about 40l of water from the tap.

Nice. I have a wortometer to fit which will help as the controller will show the temp in the coil. Fitted tap etc today but leaks. Rethinking.

Grainfather AG.
Water supply through garage wall to how pipe installed, for cleaning and cooler not water for beer

Drain to be planned for future but not now. Can lift sink out as it is a black plastic horse feed trough

Mashing. Yay. I have been spraying star san around like it is going out of fashion.

Been enjoying the first brew and also took some bottles to Chelmsford and Mid Essex Craft brewers meet last night, it went down well.

Planning next one for next weekend
