Reduced to 6.99 , loads of useless stuff on there but as a wireless thermometer they're really good. great if you have a basic set up like me. accurate and good range https://src.discounto.de/pics/Angebote/2016-04/1603952/2148370_BBQ-Funk-Grillthermometer_xxl.jpg

I transfer from kettle to cool cube. Leave overnight then transfer into fv and pitch yeast. Whole hops. Going to get a 60 litre fermenter soon so should be better , hopefully :)

Sg around 1060 . Fermented in the garage using a brewbelt. I didn't think it would get too warm as it was about -5c last night :) Be suprised if it hit 20c Couldn't water it down , was already about 3 inches from top of fermenter Brewed using 6.5 kg pale malt and 400g crystal, about 28 litres at...

Hi all, Is there anything I can do to stop this happening ? I just make a normal all grain brew but whenever I use wilkos yeast I sprinkle on top then after about 24 hrs I lose at least two litres due to crazy foaming eruptions on the top. Proper mess too :( If I use safale 04 there's...

Many thanks, I'll go for it. 9kg would be fine. :thumb:

Hi, I need a bigger coolbox. I currently use about 6kg of grain to make a 25 litre brew. My coolbox mashtun is full using this. I'm looking at coleman xtreme 36 qt but not sure exactly how big that is. Anyone used one and would it be big enough for around 9 - 10 kg of grain with about 25 litres...

My buffalo boiler used to do that, I bypassed the thermal cutout switch. To play it safer I think you can buy a cutout switch which reaches a higher temp. Been working fine for over 12 months now

that's great, thanks
