Hello from England

Just saying 'Hi' to everyone before I go off and explore this great site!

I'm a relatively new All Grain brewer, based in Staffordshire, England.

My first brews have been drinkable, but I'm on a steep learning curve and looking for more knowledge.

I have a very basic and simple set up:





Basic, but it serves it purpose.

My next project is to do something about stabalising my fermentation temp.

Anyhoo, hello to everyone

Wow! That's a very informative first post!

Welcome! This site is a fantastic resource! I reckon you'll enjoy it!

Hi,

I'm just up the road. (Well the M6)
If you need any help give me a shout. I know it can be difficult getting hold of some bits over here.

How do you heat your mash water? In the boil pot?

Hi there! A fellow Brit and you're a Mod


Thanks for the offer of help - I think I need it!

Yes, I heat everything in my boiling pot and on my gas burner.

Compared to a lot of the kit that the guys in the States have, it must look very 'rustic'

What sort of kit do you use?

A couple of kegs.

One with an immersion heater for the HLT and one for the boil.
A cooler and manifold and an immersion chiller.

Not far off yours.

Jeez, Orfy, you trying to catch up with everyone else on the HBT meets? Two in the last few weeks ain't enough?

Welcome aboard!
