Thanks. Keg Connection mailed me to say they do have.

I concur with Bobby - the gas turns my garage into a sauna. Ive changedto electric but Ive moved the gas (controlled with a solenoid Brutus style) to my MLT (RIMS) - I'll fire the gas when I need to save time, mash out, decoction mash etc. BK also has both gas and 4000W element - gas helps get...

Keg Connection doesnt have. They've only got gas side dip tubes. Any one know of another supplier ?

Im using a 20gallon pot (RIMS + Brutus style) with a Jaybirds F/B. Does it matter if the MLT drains from the side or from the centre ? Ive seen both methods used. Has anyone changed from side to centre and seen a difference ?

Does modern brass contain lead ? I know it used to back in the old days - but now ?

Fly sparge. Pump is off-on or auto - switched on and off with a float switch in the MLT.

True. But volume would still be 5% lower than expected. Its not much but 1/2 gallon is 1/2 gallon.

Does anyone adjust their boil volume for temperature? AFAIK water volume differs by +-5% (somewhere there) between 35*F and 212*F. I was thinking of increasing the volume indicators on my BK to compensate. (This could be a reason for "low efficiency" in some breweries as volume is determined...

It seems a pity to have to adjust a ball valve when the sparge starts (Im assuming you recirculate slower than the sparge). There must be a way to get the ball valves to close/open to a preset setting. Possibly one of the electronic experts can comment. Or do you could divert the wort through a...

Do the electric ball valves adjust when you start sparging or do you recirculate the mash and sparge at the same rate ?

Thanks guys, to the boil as per usual it will be.

I will be adding 1lb (cane) sugar to a beer. I normally add sugar either to the boil for ten minutes or to primary after a week of fermentation. From what Ive read sugar cane juice is about pH5.3. Assuming refined white sugar is also around pH5.3 or more acidic, is there any reason I can't...

Most of the time trade restraints are too broad eg "you cannot work as a plumber again' - these aren't enforced because they prevent the person from earning a living. The ones that get enforced state a reasonable period and a geographical area. The employee needs to show that the contract is...

Gone are the days when one did business with a handshake and a gentlemens agreement. These days we've got to have contracts that are 100 pages long and they still get broken. Regardless of what the guys position was, he signed the contract and then broke it. Hes the one in the wrong. I guess...

US law is clearly different to SA law but how is it possible that Boston can sue Anchor for a contract breached by an employee ? The contract wasn't signed by Anchor.

I have my system on a timer to turn on early enough to be at strike temp when Im ready to brew. That way when I get home from work everything is ready to start. My next step is a cell phone activated switch.

3.5hrs - APA with hopburst (additions at 20m, 10m, 5m, 0m, dh) only needs a 20min boil. If you add your first hops before the end of the sparge (assuming you've got a good boil at that point) it cuts even more time off.

My beers with flaked barley are crystal clear. Its interesting that yours are cloudy. Maybe its a different form of flaked barley. I use 1lb in all my beers for head retention.

Im liking Paris more and more........

You need to go to Thailand...
