    Neighbor wants beer in 3 weeks...

    This thread cries out MILD.

    Weak beer.

    Did you brew from extract or grain? What gravity readings did you get?

    Cheers. It's got holes in.

    You Yanks drive me crazy!

    The gill is 1/4 pint. In the U. S. customary system, one gill is equal to 1/2 cup, 4 fluid ounces, 7.21875 cubic inches, or about 118.3 milliliters. ... In the British Imperial system, the hogshead equals 1/2 butt, or 52.5 Imperial gallons (8.429 cubic feet, or 238.67 liters). ... I give in...

    They messed up the roundabout by adding traffic lights!

    The worst thing about imperial apart from not being base 10 is the multitude of measurements used. Cups, quarts, teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounce, gills, gallons, barrels, hogsheads.

    In all honesty. It is better if you leave it a bit. Try it though and see what you think.

    Kettle holes

    If you are using a syphon set up then in theory you can go as high as you want. Most brewers including me go low though.

    Kettle holes

    It depends on the radios of the curve of the bottom of the kettle and your pick up/syphon tube and filter solution.

    A little volume conversion help...

    (0.5/4.7)*100=10.63% I'd say you've reduced the OG by 10.63% 64*10.63%=6.8 1064-6.8=1057.2 It won't be exactly that because I think the calculation is a bit more complex I've had to hard a day to think about it.

    One step closer to all electric.

    I should have my third kettle this week. Then I need to make another manifold and find a pump.

    To me........ ;) Off the shelf around £200 (Not sure on the exchange but probably around $300)

    No where near that long. I'm only warming to mash temp I was testing stability of the stat so I didn't time it. Getting the hot wort to boil was quick. Again I didn't time it.

    Down Side? More equipment. Even If I stick with it I'm not getting rid of the keggles. Quick? It's not slower. I'm stuck with a minimum mash and boil time. They are lighter when empty but they need to live indoors. I'm thinkng of trying the boil in the bag method with them.

    my mistake. 3 vessel not barrel. Yes they are 30l not the size of my keggles but good enough for 23l batches. I'm still configuring things and waiting for the 3rd vessel and a pump. (I do have some cash tied up in a commercial set up but it's a year behind schedule!)

    5 gallons imperial or US in a recipe?

    Freudian slip :D or just :drunk: 2.61L/KG ;)
