Appreciate the feedback and advice, I did see the brew commander and it does look interesting. I’m going to speak to a friend of mine who is a gas engineer to see what they think. I might try to bribe him with the offer of free beer once up and running!

Hi all, I would really appreciate some advice. I’ve got a 100ltr HERMS set up powered by gas. I have everything set up and ready to go but I can’t seem to find any equipment out there that allows me to control the temp using gas. I want a tower of power (blichmann) setup which is controlled by...

Hi all, I'm currently setting up my brew house. I'm after the Blichmann Tower of Power RIMS system to control the circulation of my mash. I'm based in the UK and can't find a single place that stock the system. Can anyone help at all? I don't want to pay the same price again in shipping it...

Thanks everyone. I totally agree with the hobby element. I think I will go for a HERMS system as the HLT is controlled electronically so I will be able to keep a constant temp. You could potentially spend thousands but that's all part of the fun!

Hi all, I've looked online and there seems to be pros and cons for both. Would love your feedback and help on which one I should go for. I'm brewing about 70 litre batches so only small. My system is controlled electronically using PIDS so I can accurately control my HLT so I'm leaning...

Totally agree great point. Do research and explore options. Ask for help which is why I think this forum is great. Thanks to everyone for your advice and happy brewing!

Thanks for your comments this all really helps. I am drawn to a plate chiller but might find an alternative to blichmann. The most expensive isn't always the best I guess

I'm newish to brewing as well and was curious to know what CFC is

Thanks for all the support. I'm thinking the blichmann plate chiller. I've heard they are slightly more effect to clean but as long as your prepared it's worth the effort as you chill wort really quick.

Hi all, This is a bit of a debatable post. I'm setting up a micro Brewery in Liverpool and I've been researching what's the best way to cool the wort. There mixed reviews online regarding pros and cons for immersion and plate but does anyone have experience using either? I'm thinking about...
