Hey guys, I'll be brewing my first all grain beer in a few days. I've been looking around at recipes and messing about on beersmith and now have a recipe ready. I've been looking around to gather up all my ingredients but I'm finding it hard to source them all in one place... ATM i need to...

Great, Thanks. It's only a 4% beer so I'll leave it alone for the next 3 weeks then chill and see how it is. My boxes of beer are about a meter or so away from the radiator, I've got the radiator set quite low to maintain a slightly lower ambient temp, If i hover my hand on the side of the...

Hi all, So yesterday I bottled up my first ever 5 gal batch after being in the primary for 3 weeks. I've boxed the bottles up and and stored them in a spare room (the only room that's got space for boxes of beer that isn't too cold). I brew my beer in a small cupboard that I can maintain an...

Nice set up, thanks for sharing

sorry guys one other question, If i was to add the heater inside the fridge I'd have to drill a hole in the fridge in order to run the cable through correct? What would i use to plug the whole to make it a usable fridge when then heater isn't in there?

That was meant for only one fermenter, if i went to 2 i would find a fridge like that but a much taller one. The height and depth on the site seem to suggest my 6.5 gallon fermenter would fit inside. However, the store is round the corner so ill head in and take some measurements.

Thank you all that have replied, your advice is all greatly appreciated :mug: I was thinking of getting a fridge similar to this: then id take the shelves etc out and just pop my fermentor in and hook it up to the inkbird and possibly add in a gentle heat source. Seem ok? I may look for...

That does look interesting, I 'll have a look if anything similar is available over here in the UK. II think for now the the inkbird seems like it will suffice for my 5 gallon batches as Im really looking for a plug and play solution.

Ah yes, didn't think about that! The ambient tempature of the room I will be able to fit the fridge is usually about 68F-72F in the day. At night it may get quite low, too around maybe the mid/high 50s. I could actually get the under floor heating turned on in that room which would eliminate...

So i have found the inkbird 308 is available on amazon in the UK :D So literally all i need to do is get a fridge that my fermenter will fit in, plug the fridge into the inkbird, put a heating unit inside the fridge and plug that into the inkbird also and then set the temp? No need for PC fans...

Thanks both for the quick replies. I'm from the UK, I'll have to have a quick google search to find if inkbirds are available over here. I think I would need to attach a heating mechanism inside the fridge too as well, as at night the temperatures over here get pretty low in the winter, even...

Hello guys, I created another post the other day explaining how I wanted to transition over to all grain brewing. With some help and advice, I think I've made up my mind on which route of all grain brewing and what set up I will be using. Whilst I was online getting my basket full of the...

Thanks for all the advice guys, appreciate it. After some further digging around, and scanning both the BIAB and all grain forums, I think I've decided im going to take the 2 vessel route. This would involve batch sparging. Seeing as I already have a 5G kettle, all i would need to buy is a...

would having a 10g tun hinder the production of a 5 gallon batch? its just I've read a few times that even with 5 gallon batches its better off having a larger tun, especially if i was to make some high ABV beers/ large grain bill beers. The other thing i was think was even if i was to get a...

Thanks. After doing some scanning around on BIAB articles, videos etc I'm thinking it may be a good idea for me to try out a few BIAB batches before going down the 3 vessel path. Would save a lot of storage space, cleaning and possibly money. From what I've read, both methods seem to...

Great info thanks. yeah I definitely will be brewing some high ABV beers. I was also looking at brewing a barley wine. Hmm, I actually have only briefly looked into BIAB method. Perhaps spending the money on just a 15g kettle may be wiser for me as it would save storage space etc. I'll...

Hi Guys, My first extract batch is only a week away from bottling time, it was great fun brewing but I'm already determined to start an all grain batch. I've spent the last few week browsing these forums and trying to learn as much as I can on all grain brewing before jumping in. From...

Hello all, Recently just started my home brewing career and have become addicted already. My first batch is only a week from bottling and already have my second batch planned and ready to go once the fermenter frees up. :ban: I've learnt ALOT from scanning these forums so thought it was...
