Any tips on an electric system bigger than a 50liters so the Braumeister is out, I would like to be able to get 60liters of wort per batch, a 60 or 100l grainfather for example....

Fil posted a while back about a product he had tried called a Sonoff TH. It is a thermostat to control whatever, based on either temp or humidity, it is available with a waterproof thermometer. I gave it a shot and now have three of them, two controlling fermentation and crash cooling fridges...

Hey electricaly savy brewers out there, I am looking at a waterpump like this Do you think it would be alright to run a CIP ball or a 12 jet bottle washer ? The pressures seem fine but I am not sure if the flow restrictions suit the pump... It does not come with a switch to turn it on and off...

Could anyone be so kind as to measure the ID of their ff neck, trying to check if a cooling coil mlght fit inside and I am away from home...thanks in advance!

I am at work now and met a fellow brewer out here, new guy out here (on a rig). We were talking about brewing and I was telling him about my setup with the Maxi 310 and SS Chronicle and he seemed to think if you crashed too cold it was really bad for your beer, he didn't have too mant details...

Anyone found a coil that will fit in the FF Conical ? Thinking of mounting it through the lid and off course it needs to be made from Stainless. I often see temps in an ambient of 20 dgrees of about 23 and now that I have my SS Chronicle working with my Maxi 310 was thinking of using the two...

Would this be suitable ? The guys at SSbrewtech said the pressure is no problem, was just wandering if the pump would last, having it's flow restricted by the CIP ball?

I am considering the SS brewtech Chronicle 64liter with Glycol circulation loop in the FV for Temp control. No ways I am shelling 1000usd for a Glycol chiller though ! I have some ideas about modding a chest freezer to cool the glycol for circultaion, have googled it up and down and seen a few...

I have brewed 2 "lagers", both from Greg Hughes book, a Mexican Cerveza and a Light Lager, using WLP 940 Mexican Lager and Wyeast 2000 Budvar. here is what I did: - Pitched yeast from 2 liter starters at room temp, once the fermentations had started, after about 12hours, cooled to 12 degrees...

Celafu..ingbrate!!!!! After 23 brews and not tasted a comercial brew for about a year, sitting on a Norwegian flight from Bergen to Copenhagen after 2 weeks offshore on a drilling rig, the only beer they had was a Heiniken, how did I drink that **** for all these years and think it was beer, I...

Hey all, need a bit of help sourcing some South African Hops in the UK, has anyone seen these two varieties? (Southern Dawn and Southern Passion)

Just got my brew fridge sorted so I can ferment at 12degrees, so after I have cool it down with GF reverse flow chiller it will be at say 18/19 degrees, should I then put it in the fridge until it gets to 12 becore pitching?

Had a great brewday with my daughter today, she is 10 and very interested in making films so she filmed the whole day and is busy putting it together, "Brewing beer with the Grainfather" she has called it. Anyway, some two hours after pitching the yeast I had this sneaking feeling I had...

After enjoying Bulldog's Strawberry Pale Ale immensely I am trying an AG version from the Greg Hughes book. It doesn't say zip in the book hopw to prepare them, it just says add them, I have googled the subject quite a bit and most seem to use frozen ones in the hope of good hygiene and the ice...

Just finnished my first 4 AG brews and thought I would post some info on how that went. I used Greg Hughes recipes from his book. In the end it seemed the water calcs in the GF app work well and get you almost exactly what you are suppose to get volume wise. On my third brew I had a fair bit...

I have just finished my first two AG brews on my GF and was less than impressed with the OG I attained, started playing with the numbers and suspect the problem lies in my liquor calcs. I used the GF app. instead of the recipe from Greg Hughes calcs. The differences were quite big, I had a...

Hard work! Now the waiting begins...

Everyone seems to be out of stock of these, any tips would really be appreciated...

Been looking at getting a grainfather and a sparge water heater and was wandering if the grainfather 18 liter one is going to be sufficient for most recipes or if being limited to 18 liters of sparge water is going to hold me back? I really like the idea of having a matching sparge water...
