I plan to have a 200L system so the vessels will be 200L but that does open up another question. Roughly what pre boil volume can I expect with a 200L system? How much headspace should I leave and what volume could I expect going into the ferment after the boil?

Thanks @doug293cz Will 4,5V - 32V DC be okay for the SSR? See pic below

Firstly, let me apologise as I am sure this type of thread comes up often, and I am happy to be directed to a thread that will answer all my questions. So I am in the costing and planning phase for a 200L eHerms system Elements My first question is regarding the heating elements. From what I...

I want to increase the FG a bit as the yeast attenuates quite a lot. That's why I go for 68 Thank you for these tips. I do stir every about every 15 mins

Oh I see what you mean sorry. So I am not adding more water to the mash than would be needed. My brewing software indicates a required mash water volume of 15.36L ... so I split the 15.36 into two batches of water, one batch for the acid rest, and the other batch for the boiling water I need to...

I batch sparge Sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you're referring to pre boil volumes I still hit those numbers fine. I also thought about this but I would need to decoct 8L of the mash in order to get to the correct mash temp. Wouldn't this scorch the grain and render it useless?

I've been using 55% wheat malt. No I've had 80% with and without wheat. To date I've done 5 hefe brews. The first 2 brews I did a step mash and got an efficiency in the 60's. The 3rd brew I got 80% but it had 2 differing factors from the previous two previous brews... 1. I used my own grain...

Hi guys I want to establish whether perhaps a step mash is to blame with this issue I experience. I have brewed a few hefeweizens now. Every time I try to do a mash with a ferulic acid rest, my efficiency would drop drastically, from my usual 80% to 63-65%. When I did the mash without any...

Thanks for this advice! Much appreciated

Hi all Please could someone assist me with an issue regarding a chiller coil that has me stumped. I've recently purchased a glycol chiller to use for fermentation temp control. I've also purchased a chiller coil which is in the image below In this case with this 30L fermenter, the coil goes...

Unfortunately not. There is one quite close but I hate their weiss lol

I had a glass of the beer again yesterday and I picked up a distinct boozey smell from it, like rubbing alcohol. It actually becomes quite noticeable and has that warming effect on the nostrils. I had the same issue when I tried our local variant of 3068. The beer's ABV is 5.3% so the only...

Its a sad reality Ive had to accept but we have no access to liquid yeasts for wheat beers in South Africa 😢

Sorry about that and duly noted. A few craft breweries here in South Africa are guilty of calling it a "Weiss" so it's lead to a bad habit on my part... the one brewery here that calls it a weiss has a german as the headbrewer so that's a bit odd. Ive read up a lot on wb-06 not being an...

Hi guys I'm having trouble lately with getting my weiss right. The strange thing is the first two batches I ever brewed of weiss came out great but were just a little too dry. I used wb-06 for those. Those batches were 15L batches.The subsequent 2 batches after that, each 25L have not turned...

Hi guys Im hoping someone can help me out. I bought a used Franke Blefa 30L Euro keg with a S type spear. I cant seem to get the spear out like I can with other S type kegs. Ive tried the coin and coupler method and it doesnt release the safety latch like with other s type kegs. It...

I see. What if I dialed the pressure down for the dispensing of one or two beers and then dialled it back up to 20 psi again straight away? As a temporary solution while I order in some longer tubing.

Thanks that's what I thought. The store who sold it to me said 2 meters is usually fine but didn't bother to ask me what style of beer I'll be carbonating and I didn't mention it as I wasn't totally clued up at that point . I bought 3 meters just in case and turns out that's not even enough...

Hi guys This is my first time kegging and I have a keg of weiss pressurized at 20 PSI in a keezer at 4.5C I'd like to find out if my beerline is going to be long enough at 3 metres/10 feet. I'm using 3/16" bevlex thickwalled beer line. Am I at risk of heavy foam at this length?

Thanks I'll try that then
