Pat test is portable appliance test, it's a check by an electrician to ensure the safety of electrical items, commonly kettles, toasters , microwaves etc. He did suggest try a different socket next time which I will, just wondered how many people have a similar experience if there is a few that...

Hi, I have been using a 3kw buffalo induction hub for over a year to brew, on a recent brew day I noticed that the lead and plug were getting very hot to the touch. Today I had it pat tested and it passed fine, just wondering if anyone else who uses this hob has noticed the lead and or plug...

I have my all grain setup pretty much ready to use, however I have 3 extract kits left to use before my first all grain. My question is shall I use my new setup to make these extract brews? Would I get better results than my normal way, (these kits have steeping grains, and DME, and fresh hops...

Thanks All!

Just and update I've purchased a 50l kettle, and I'm using it on a 3kw induction on, fingers crossed my first brew goes well

I would love to go for something like that but I really need an electric kettle

Id like to do a full mash volume but the limit that my kettle will be is probably 30l cant see a bigger one for a decent price , so I think I may have to top up to full volume by sparging and adding that, my fist idea when I decided to make the move to all grain was to make a mash tun from a...

Thanks I purchased my first corny keg last year would never go back now. Of all the searching I've been soon I think my only option is a 30l kettle so a full BIAB not really possible , I haven't looked at a single recipe yet but I'm curious for a standard 20l 4.5 % beer I could use my 30l...

Thanks, is a 30l kettle big enough for a full BIAB , for a 20-23l batch?

Hi, I'm looking to move to all grain and have to go electric for the kettle, I'm considering the 30l burco water heater, does anybody have any experience of this product? My main question is does it keep a good rolling boil. The reviews on Amazon say it does but I think I trust the opinion of...

, thanks for your input. When you do BIAB for your smaller brews what is your technique for sparging the grains thats a question that keeps sticking with me, I could, with my planned setup, remove the bag from the mash pop it into a fermenting bucket and pour over about 1gal of sparge water...

Thanks to all for your replies, I have so much to consider and I realise every single persons brew day is completely unique I'm just trying to gather enough info so that I don' start off in the wrong direction . So I'm looking to make 5 gal batches of brew all we all agreed that I need to be...

I have found a local supplier that bags up grains for you and crushes them fresh to order, I believe you can ask for a finer grind, I assume a finer grind will always ensure a slightly better efficiency? Thanks
