Try it in a different wall socket. Mine does something similar in 1 of my wall sockets but none of the others. Don't know why.

I've bought off them, they're fine. Don't forget to add vat on that you will be charged by the courier. They use ups.

I agree monsieur Baron. I usually worry so much more about pils/lager mashes that I end up with higher efficiencies by virtue of the extra effort I indulge in these exotica.

Did you step mash? I always get an increase in og if I do.

I've been wondering about this, with my All-in-1 whirlpool and leaving to settle out leaves it all more or less on top of the pump inlet.

I use 2 x kegmenters, with 40 psi spunding valves. I use them to ferment lagers at room temperature. As said earlier, this requires pressure on early in the fermentation. It's the dissolved co2 that suppresses esters and hot alchohol, the pressure is just a means to that end. I have not used...

The 70l brewdevil, which I use, has a pre boil volume of 65 litres. When I'm going for max volume I sparge to that line. Once I've dealt with the hot break I put my hops in, which is where the extra volume over 65l comes in. Minimum brew size is 23l, max grain bill is 19kg (I've never tried...

Whether you ferment in one large fermentor or two smaller ones affects how many kegs you fill.

The 16 amp electrical requirements for the brewzilla 65 spoiled it for me when I was looking for a bigger system. FYI my brewdevil 70 is brimmed at 70 litres, the markers on the side stop at 65 litres. Really its capacity is 65l for the boil. It more or less fills 2 x 30l fermentors. I tend to...

The brew devil has 25% more volume, that is a significant difference. I use brew devil 70 which is a great bit of kit, identical to the 50, except the volume. I'm sure the grainfather is equal to or better than it, but their 70 litre system is way too expensive, especially when you consider...

I think you might be over carbed. I carb at 20 psi at room temperature (21 c), and reduce to a serving pressure of about 8 psi. My kegs are at room temp. Lower temps require lower psi to achieve the same results, I have no 1st hand knowledge of lower temp carbing/serving, I got yhe lindr for...

Is the tap flow control all the way up?

I have a brewzilla 35 a brew devil 70, both are great although I prefer the brew devil.

Gravity from tap to beer post, hubbly bubbly on the gas post.
