As little as you dare... I cut of the gas post to almost flush, and leave a litre. This isn't always enough, even at 10psi and I sometimes get some krausen through the sounding valve. So 2l to be safe id say

Care to link please?

Agree this will be fine, provided the ring has been wired correctly. 2.5mm cable can deal with 2 13A appliances. A double socket probably can't though, and will get hot, so I would plug into separate outlets. Also, this is a given, but don't run all in ones off of extension cables if you can...

Doesn't seem a million miles removed from current processes.

I think it's just brewers maturing and trying to brew new things. I like APAs/IPAs/DIPAs the most, so when I started out this is what I brewed. Since then I've done a saison, a blonde, an impy stout, sours etc to keep things interesting.

The issue with this is running the pump post boil. How do you prevent blockages?

Need to subtract off headspace too, otherwise the mash will be too thick. Basically with the Mundschenk you end up with very little sparge water with medium-large marshes.

And accounting losses don't really matter anyway. I imagine depreciation covers the majority of that loss. EBITDA still positive and revenue up to record levels. They can afford to increase pay. As a general rule, businesses looking to cut expenses and frontload revenue are looking to sell up...

Looks like 2024 malt pricing in general is a bit cheaper than 2023, so good news there!

@MashBag I'd be keen on joining such a buying group. My folks live in Peterborough, but as I tend to visit at weekends, Brewer's Select is closed for collection. I'm running low on base malt, so keen for another bag.

Most common area I have seen leaks is the JG connections. Gotta make sure these are properly tight with the quick disconnects. Also it helps to cut beer line cleanly with a pipe cutter or Stanley knife. But yeah, agree leave the gas off.

In the UK you can be sold 1/3, 2/3, half, and pints (or multiples of halves if you wanted 2.5 pints for example). So I guess that would standardise to 200ml, 275ml 400ml and 550ml. But that's guessing. Of course wine and spirits are already standardised in metric. Spirits used to be 1/6 gill or...

It does include headspace, but I've never known an establishment in the UK fail to top up a short pint when asked, even Sam Smith's

In my experience of Europe and SE Asia you get a small and a large, of mostly undisclosed volume.

For me: Small distance in metric, big distance in miles, unless I am running, then both miles and km are used interchangeably. Weight in metric exclusively. Volume in metric, unless it's beer or milk. I'm against full conversion to metric, principally because we'd lose 13% of a pint of beer...
