Thanks very much for that, I forgot to make clear that I cut 7 holes in total around the base of the skirt - each one being 5cm x 10cm, which makes a total of 350cm2 of open area - about 54 sq inches I think? Do you think that extending the 7 slots up to the base of the tank would provide...

After buying a kettle that was too big because it was cheap, I decided that I'd have to go gas as I'm already using as much power for my HLT element as my garage can cope with. Saw the 'Paella ring' burner at: 640mm Paella Gas Burner | Buy Now at gasproducts.co.uk which is 640mm wide - fits...

Yeah, good point - instead of tipping my Dunkelweiss down the drain I should have just renamed it Austrian Stout and learned to love it. ;)

I thought that a dunkelweiss like the kind i'd enjoyed in Austria would be the outcome of using dark wheat - i was so wrong. Even at 5% it ruined the batch, with its massive bitterness i'd liken it to patent black malt like you'd use in a stout - how much black malt is too much, not much! In...

Hey thanks, here is the link : http://www.goodlifehomebrew.com/wheat-malt-dark-25kg-crushed.php Yes it is choc wheat. I would have thought 5% sounds about right... with so much of the stuff, I wondered if I could get away with a bit more? Of course I dont really want to trash the brew though

Hi, Not concentrating hard enough while ordering grains has left me with a huge sack of dark, toasted wheat instead of a small bag! :mad: I realise that using lots of it is no good as it gives a very bitter flavour, but I'm unsure just what proportion I could get away with if I were to...
