boiler

This is my 20L Swan boiler modified with a ball valve instead of the stock plastic one. I have done about 20 brews in this and is in good nick. Downsizing to stove-top boils so no longer need it. Prefer pick up as boxing it up for a courier might be a bit difficult. I can deliver in the...

Hi, Has anyone had any experience of the electric kettle in the link. I bought the gas version a few years ago and it’s served me well but am considering electric now. I’d use it for the boil, so was looking for something with a bit of space to minimise boil overs. Any other suggestions welcome...

Hi, I am after some advice about draining wort from the kettle to fv. I have recently got in to home brew again after a long break and did my first non-kit brew last weekend. It was the Elderflower Ale extract recipe from the revised Home Brew Beer book by Greg Hughes. I am using a homemade...

Hi there, After about 3 years of brewing I have never done a "whirpool". I use "whirlpool" hops a lot but all this means is I shut off the heat, switch on the immersion chiller and then bung the hop bag in and leave it in there whilst the wort cools and until I have drained it into the FV. I...

I have just got myself a used Swan SWU20L tea urn (20L) that I will use for BIAB. There is no heat adjustment, so I may have to rig up a PID to maintain a constant mash temperature. After reading reviews on Argos, it seems that it will not maintain a rolling boil without some modification. Has...

Packed the wife and kids off for a forest walk and got all my kit sanitised and ready for a double brew day today. Switch the boiler on to heat the strike water, set the temperature and go off to grab the rest of the kit. When I came back the boiler was off and no matter what I do I can't get...

So I have a Brupaks electric boiler and I am doing all grain brews. At the end of the boil when I tranfer the wort from the boiler to the fermentation vessel I generally tip the boiler to get all of the wort - waste not want not. Usually I use a fine grain bag to strain the wort and there is a...

I have just bought a Klarstein Mash-kettle off Amazon for £209 and have now used it to brew an English Ale. I thought there might be somebody on the forum who might be interested in my review of it on Amazon: It is an excellent piece of kit but the handbook is VERY misleading. I brew in the way...

Disclaimer: I'm aware that there are ca. 15m discussions on modifying Buffalo boilers, but I'm not quite finding the answer to my problem. So here it goes... I recently purchased a Buffalo GL349 (https://www.nisbets.co.uk/buffalo-manua ... iler/gl349), only to find out - while brewing - that it...
