This here would work, a large mass of fluid to a concentration that will stop the water freezing to the chest freezer walls. Ice is an insulator. It will also give direct contact to the evaporator coil to make it effective at heat transfer. And your average chest freezer holds alot more fluid...

When I over chill my wort and heat it back up with the belt, I notice a full flavour from the yeast that wouldn't normally be expressed from fermenting at the low end of the recommended temperature range.

Totally off topic... but your profile picture, is a pic of a very happy man next to his kettle. I'm dreadding the day where my kettle ball valve gives me grief. It's non serviceable, but I do operate it several times during clean to attempt to clean. I'm going to give my first lager a crack...

There is alot of sound advice here, anything I was going to mention has already been said. I had a fermenter valve problem a couple of years back. I cannot remember the flavour (yes I'm Aussie) it threw, but it was definately not green apple, an infection taste and smell. If I think of something...

Been listening to heaps of TBN lately, catching up on times missed. Sorry to hear Tasty. Make it rain Janet's Brown from up there brother!

That is a beautiful 3D head. Love it when the grist is designed well so that happens. My current Aussie Pale, that tastes more like an American pale has the 3D head. What did you end up going with, and what would you change if you weren't doing a left overs IPA?

+1 for evabarrier tubing. And +1 to disassembling everything to thoroughly clean. I doubt its a water issue with a description of "meaty". Take my suggestion for what its worth, but I would try buying a few packets of dry yeast and directly sprinkle ontop. I know this is not good practice, but...

Didn't work for me. I really wanted that free citra too. Oh well.

It was that video that made me start squeezing air from plastic bottles. Right on!

Alright lads, I finally got around to brewing this. The final recipe was as follows. 21L 2.2kg JW Traditional pale 64% .5kg Gambrinus dark munich ( made a mistake, was meant to get light) 14.5% .5kg flaked wheat 14.5% .18kg Weyermann Carahell 5.2% .06kg Weyermann Acidulated 1.7% FWH 3g nugget...

Have you tried bottling a batch to help eliminate your kegging process? I've only been doing all grain for almost a year too, but it could be something that is not getting cleaned properly. Like disassembling your keg posts for a clean and sanitise, syphon, tap etc. Something in some nook and...

I've had this before when I started using coopers carb drops for convenience. One batch was great and a perfect clean carb. (Brand new packet) next batch had the inconsistency like you explained ( using remainder of open packet). It took me a while to work it out, but I'm sure its infection...

They are cryogenic hops. That's the only citra I had access to when I bought em. They are labelled 23.40%AA on the packet. I wanted the amarillo to shine through in this beer. I think I'm gna brew it as is, ive procrastinated for too long. I will probably see what you mean about them being...

I'm gna give this one a crack, I will report back on brew day and again after carbonation. May tweak the water first, will see.

Hey Cheers guys. If you have a chance, can you look at my updated version and let me know what you think. Screenshots of brewfather attached.
