Thanks Gerry, still torn on my decision but I think I have settled on achoice between a Grainfather and a Brewzilla. Just unsure on which route to take. The only factor in not going for a GF is the additional £300 price tag. Sure you get a CF chiller for this, and a nicer controller. However if...

Ah my bad sorry, not able to watch the video through right now but thought Rob spoke about reduced lines in that video from memory.

I don’t keg myself yet, but perhaps this will help.

Thanks very much for the replies folks! As you can imagine, all that's been going through my head the last few days is tossing up this decision :laugh8: I'm now even throwing all-in-one systems in to the mix! I'm now thinking potentially a Grainfather, or one of the cheaper systems like a...

Hello all. Considering a kettle upgrade for my small batch BIAB setup. Right now it’s all stovetop, roughly 5/6L batches in a stockpot. I’d like to level this up a tad soon, and brew perhaps 10L batches so I’ll need a bigger and better kettle. I’d also like to move out of the kitchen ideally...

Hello all, quick question regarding the different types of oats. I’m brewing up a NEIPA soon, to be specific it’s a clone of Brewdog’s Hazy Jane. The recipe calls for Flaked Oats, and the grains I’ve received are ‘Flaked Torrified Oats’. Are these correct and a suitable substitute? I’ll be...

Brew Day went perfectly. As I said I went BIAB, and it went very smoothly. I went with 1KG of Marris Otter and 4G of Citra at the start of the boil, 5G with 20mins remaining and 8G and flameout/whirlpool. It’s been in the fermenter 1 week today, and is smelling great. My estimated pre-boil...

Well aware that this is a mega-bump for an old thread, but just wanted to share a method that I use that hasn't been mentioned yet. I only use brown 330ml bottles, re-used from beers that i've purchased. Some have paper labels, some have the plastic type but all are on with pretty stubborn...

Great shout, it is indeed!

Awesome thanks. Considering a purchase of Beersmith, just a trial version at the moment - Is it a one off price or yearly sub or something.

Thanks for the replies guys. Alsch890; indeed i'd like a 3.8L (1Gal) batch going in to my fermenter which is just the standard glass carboy. Should give me about 3.5L of beer, ten bottles or thereabouts. Not a lot I know, but I want to start slow and get the hang of things initially. As for the...

Hello everyone! New to the forum and my first post here, just looking for some advice for what will be just my second brew. My first brew was a 1Gal Punk IPA kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop. Going forward I want to do BIAB as I think it’ll suit me perfectly for my equipment and size of working space...
