Thanks NC

I have the small batch pipework, but because the malt pipe has to be removed end to end automation is very problematic. Aamcle

I hope there a good number experienced brewers here who bottle and bottle condition their beers. So many people have moved exclusively to Corny kegs. I find that bottles suit me better than a Corny n Tap set up although I do have two Cornys, Co2 and the ability to cool the kegs. My personal...

I'm in the UK ..... I have been thinking about it, if I ran the wort from the kettle into a Cony keg that was standing in a trug of water it would cool quickly an save a good deal of complications.

I built a BM clone(ish) some years ago it was a pale shadow of the real thing and I hated it. I'm confident I'd like a BM though :) The difficult parts for me are automating the hop additions and some sort of automatic cleaning system. The mash and boil are easy enough, even sparging is...

Sadly. 1, in the UK the price is daft :( :( 2, all it automates is the mash.

To increase the variety of beers I brew I'd very much like to be brewing 10-12 litre batches. To make it feasible I'd need a system with a high degree of automation, as I'm in the UK the commercial brewing appliances are unavailable or very expensive. Do you know of any automated builds on...

I know it's high for style but I want it for next year I don't want to be left with some "spare " Pilsner malt. :) :)

I am planing a high ABV Baltic Porter which is described as a lager, I'll brew it this year for Christmas next year. The grain should be delivered within a few days. If I obtain over 70% mash efficiency I would expect to brew a beer with an ABV of over 12%. So far I have not found a lager...

Thanks Steve. I'm going to brew the Baltic Porter I had originally decided on but I had pushed the idea to one side when I added up the grain bill, it's far too much for a GrainFather. So I'm going to have to live with the long long long day and do a reiterating mash splitting the grain into two...

I know, but I was hoped for an actual recipe or a type recommendation.

Afternoon All. As they say "Winter is Coming" and I don't want to brew a lager but I do want to use that 6Kg of Pilsner malt I mentioned in the threads title. I'm happy to add other grains and I'd be interested to hear any recommendations for a batch. Thanks All. Aamcle

Months and months ago I asked about making a GOOD red as that seems unlikely unless I buy a very expensive kit I'm now considering country wines and WOW's. I have CJ Berrys book but based on the posts I have read it seems dated so I have questions. 1, Is there a full "how to" available? 2, My...

De Konink :) reading what I can good old Nottingham fermented cool might work.

I wanted WLP515 Antwerp Ale yeast but it's seasonal and I've missed it :( This is the description :- Please can you suggests the closest available yeast? Thanks. All. Aamcle

Afternoon All. My last lager was brewed with 34/70 and bottled, unfortunately even after lagering and some aging the the yeast kicked up off the bottom no matter how carefully I open and pour it. If your able please recommend a yeast that will stick to the bottom, Is prefer a dry yeast if...

I thinking about building an automated small brewery, I'm in the UK so I can get a Pico, and I'm interested in the way Pico handles the hops. I know they go in containers and are flushed with wort that then runs into the boiler, but how is this done? Is there a valve per container or does the...

Bk that's a good idea, I had been thinking of using some sort of "tray/container" as I would expect the boiler end of a ramp to get damp with condensation and for hop fragments to build up there.

Good Afternoon All. I'm interested in how the hops and adjuncts are handled by the Picobrew, I've not found one but is there a diagram or schematic or even a good text description of how it works anywhere? I've found the patient drawings but that's about it. Thanks. Aamcle I miss the...

Very nice, very professional I love the shiny :) Aamcle
