I've just put this one in the FV today. I've added 500g of muscovado sugar and 400g of honey. This gave an SG of 1.048. I'm planning on using up my last stock Amarillo hops rather than the sachet supplied. I'll add this after 7 days. Let's see how this one turns out.
I've just read the thread by clibit for simple AG brew. How good is that thread? Having each step broken down to its simplest form is so easy to understand. I'm really up for my first AG brew now.
Ah ok, thanks Mansemasher! What was strange was nearly identical boilers from the same seller was ã12 difference and one included HLT and one didn't. The difference being a pipe attachment on the side - recirculation of hot liquor, maybe??
Thanks for the worm welcome :). So, my next step in the learning curve of brewing beer is extract brewing - is it really worth the extra cost of stainless steel boilers over plastic? And probably a really noob question but what's a HLT I've seen a boiler advertised with one.
Cheers.
Good evening. I've been brewing for about a year now, just from kits though. My reason for joining the forum is to pick the experts brains on going to the next level of home brew making for extraction brewing- my goal is to go all grain eventually.
