I am experimenting with adding a radiator like this to my brew system, in order to control the temperature in the fermentation chamber: My brew system (Grainfather) already has a heating element, temperature control and a pump. By connecting the pump to the radiator, I can adjust the...

Hi, I just tried making some Belgian Candi Syrup in the oven. I think it went ok, but I have never brewed with syrup, so I have no idea what it is supposed to taste like :) It mostly tastes like malt and biscuit, with no off flavours at all. Maybe a little bit of caramel. I tried adding a...

Hi, Silly question,... As an alternative to protein shake, could you brew a beer with a very high protein content ? It does not have to be a pure all grain, an excessive amount of an additive would be fine. Do not care much for protein shakes or boiled eggs ! Cheers, Walther

Hi, Is it necessary to use your mash as a filter for clearing the beer ? There is usually lots sediment after first fermentation, will a little extra make a difference ? Has it something to with taste, and you do not want it in the beer for too long or something ? Cheers, Walther

Hi, Here are a few pictures of my latest project. Beer taps in the kitchen. Three taps in the kitchen. Two for beer, and one for carbonated water. The last one increases the approval with several mWAF. The utility room next to the kitchen, with the insulated beer lines. The...

Hi, I just found a waterprofile from my local water plant, see below. Is it really bad ? Do I need to do something about it ? Cheers, walther

Hi, My taps are placed about 1,5m from my refrigerator, so I need to run water or glycol in a PVC tube, next to my beerlines. Do you think this is big enough: (500ml volume) http://www.coolerkit.dk/xspc_5_25”_bay_reservoir_pump_200___clear-p-803.html It is designed for PC...

Hi, Do not know if you are all doing this, but anyway, I wanted to use an old dishwasher as a bottle/keg cleaner,.... The tray: The tube inside the bottles: The machine: The cleaned bottle: This was only a test run with 12 very mouldy bottles. I want to scale it up to...

I'm sorry this must have been asked a million times, but it very difficult to do a search with the word 'gravity' in it :) Anyway I would like to brew a high gravity stout (~10%), and I have found a few pointers as how to do it, but not a really good summary. What I have got so far is...

Hi, I was thinking of mounting three taps in a copper drainpipe, something like this: Kobber - Tagrender - Tagrender og tag | BilligVVS.dk But,... the smallest construction that I have seen is a tap with a 3" shank and 90 degree elbow. Is there something smaller than this, that would...

Hi, Has anyone considered a laboratory design as brewery layout, or had experience with it ? I was thinking of having a workbench where you brew, and then have water/gas/pumps/electricity/sensorIO etc. permanently mounted in the workbench or on the wall. This would allow for easier...

Hi, I am beginning to setup my brewery in the garage. Not much to see yet, but I always enjoy looking at your pictures,... Started by cleaning out a corner, and bought a stainless steel tabletop that will serve as my brewstand. (note the elegant plumbing where water enters the house from...

Hi, My brother tried brewing with the BeerMachine (no luck what so ever). So when I bottled the other day I put ~4 Litre primed beer (7g/L) in the beer machine. It can hold about 10 Litre I think so there is lots of headspace. After a little more than a week it is still flat as water...
