i'm interested to hear more about this, i'm thinking its similar,but different to krausening. my uneducated guess would be that if you transfered enough then there would be enough yeast,especially if you stirred the cake up a bit and syphonned from the bottom? i'm assuming its the same brew or...

bah!!!!!!!!!

i've been making several smash brews over the past few months, i've used pale,MO,munich and vienna as the smash malts with various hops all with reasonable results, about 6 weeks ago i made a chocolate malt/fuggle smash which i tried a small sample tonight and it was disgusting, way to...

it'll be down to the mixing,try measuring the gravity of the first runnings next time you brew and measure aain towards the end of the sparge-there is a huge difference.all that heavier stuff naturally just wants to sit on the bottom

i had the idea of using a cheap air compressor to store the co2 but it was a sort of passing idea, i figured that it probably cost more than just buying it,having said that it may be worth a bit more thought before the idea is written off

i'll give you scrap value for it:D:D:D

the first two are gear driven so i'm assuming you mean all 3 to be driven? why is that necessary? i would have thought the friction of the grain against driven roller 1 would be more than enough to drive roller 3

is the mac version updated too? it still says version 1.2 on sourceforge unless i'm looking in the wrong place? cheers martin

do you think this would work with the cold side coils immersed in a glycol bath? or do they need to have air flowing over them?

i'm looking into the network cams, thats probably the route i'll go as i don't have an extra computer available. just a basic microsoft one, i don't know much about it,i just got it for use with skype,same goes for the router,i'd have to dig out the box to tell you anything about it

couple of questions. i've been thinking about building a 2 vessel system but instead of being no sparge i was thinking of using the rims tube for on demand sparge water-sort of a virtual hlt.do you think your tubes can heat up the water to sparge temps at fly sparge flow rates? when your...

yes it is but if you have a burner that can bring 10 gallons to a rolling boil at full power you would adjust its power for 3 gallons to try and get the same boil off ratio. regardless,i do recommend the podcast. :tank:
