Hi all. I'm building something similar to a BE but using a GF constant head system rather than the AutoSparge but I'll still have to control the drain rate through the grain bed. I'm afraid a normal valve will just clog up so please can you post the diameter of the holes in to flow control...

I'm building again, a sequel to the sequel to the build that was going to be the last one ever..... What I'll have is a mash tun with a GF constant head system rather than an auto-sparge. I'm going to have two insulated drain lines, one from the central overflow and one for the wort that...

I'm back to thinking about a rebuild again this time a BrewEasy variation with a GF constant head system rather then the ballcock. I'd need a top and bottom plate like a GrainFather and SS mesh seems a good and available option. 20 mesh has a hole size of about 1 mm should I go with that...

or mix some palm oil and naphtha. aamcle

I going to do a Reiterating Mash for a very big stout, I'm clear on the mechanics of the procedure but I've found nothing about water treatment for that procedure. If you have any experience of this method please share what you water treatment you did. Many Thanks aamcle

I have or will have two sets of stored/recovered yeast. First Set. Frozen yeast. I made up a starter, let it finished, cold crashed it, poured off most of the wort, slurried it and poured about 25mm of the slurry into a bottle containing the Glycerol solution. I then chilled it in the...

Do it regularly, it's quick and tidy. aamcle

I was planning to mash at 62 °C and start the fermentation at 16 °C ramping up after day 4/5 to a final temp of 20 °C. I don't have oxygen but I will give special attention to aeration. I never use an air lock just put the lid loosely onto the FV. Thanks. aamcle That's some gain...

I've been advised that there is not enough roast, I'll roast the flaked barley. aamcle

Evening all. I have some ingredients I’d like to use to make a Big Stout for Christmas 2017/18. I’m combining an abortive White Stout and a mix from GeterBrewed. 3500 Maris Otter 500 Dingemans Biscuit Malt 2000 Weyermann Munich Malt I 500 Weyermann Melanoidin 1000...

I believe your over thinking it, lets consider full volume 30 litres or so, that's the volume your treating so plug it into whatever software your use and follow the recommendations. With two vessels and re-circulation it's a little more complicated, pump as much as you can into the mash tun...

Average would be 13 A 220V or if you use the cooker circuit 30 A at 220v. I brew with a 3Kw heating element which is fine for 5 Uk Gal/23 litre batch and is the biggest that can be used on a common domestic supply. Good Luck aamcle

I'm thinking :- First Gold 50g at 90 Bramling Cross 15g at 10 Brammling Cross 15g at 0 flame out Should give me just over 50 IBU, bittering + a bit of flavour. aamcle

I have a "Creamy White Stout Kit" for Christmas, I checked it and found no hops were in it so I went back and checked the recipe on the website and there were non listed nor were the mash conditions. I should have checked before my son ordered it but I didn't so it is my fault!!! no blame to HBS...

Your right I've transcribed it the wrong way around I'll fix it now. aamcle
