Thanks for the help. I have got 21mm cutter and it worked well. Unfortunately i live in York so a bit far. Graeme

Hi I have bought some Pots from bergland and was planning on getting them cut from a local fabricator bot they are not interested so its a DIY job. I don't have the tools for a curare measuring of the items i am putting in my pots. Could you guys help. This is the element i will be using...

Thanks for this I really want a cornie for IPA's and lighter beers and beer engine for stouts and porters. I will give the Polypins a go. How long will beer last in a Polypin? Graeme

Hi Does anyone use these. http://www.baginboxonline.co.uk/buyit2.html I was thinking of these with the Vtop connector and connected to a beer engine. Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Graeme

Currently I only produce 15l batches due to my 19L Tun. I only want to produce 19-21L Batches of big beers up to 12% I only make beer for myself and have limited room so 30 odd L will be OK for now. But thanks for the heads up.

OK I have decided to go for one by home-brew builder the 30L one. I will make matching HLT and Boiler, Where can i get 30-35L Pots from? i saw some on the links provided but not the right sizes and the smallest HBB is 50L. Cheers Graeme

Thanks again for the tips. I think the DIY stuff is a bit much for me. does anyone know where i can buy one. I can pay up to £150 for a pre made one.

Is it easy to attach a grain filter/false bottom to the ones with the tap pre fitted? I don't have the tools but the maintenance department at work may be able to do it. Graeme

Thanks for that.

Hi all I am looking at upgrading my mash tun and I'm thinking of getting a thermo pot does anyone have a link for them I am thinking of 30 or 50l preferably with a tap so I don't have to do too much work to it. Thanks Graeme

Ingredients: ------------ Hi all I am looking at making this smoked porter later on today. I am a bit concerned about the peat smoked malt/whiskey malt. How much should I use to impart a smoky flavour without it taking over the beer? Amt Name...

Hi All I am looking at making a smoked porter tomorrow and was wondering how much Whiskey Malt to put in it to give it an ample smoky taste and aroma? I am using the Brupacks malt. I have heard 100g is about right. Does that sound OK. Graeme

Thanks guys I am hitting about 67% at the moment all of the beers i have made are aver 6%, Cheep homemade mash tun I guess. I will look at this over the coming weeks doing some overnight mashes. I am loving some of the the AG Brews I have made. Onwards and upwards. Cheers Graeme

thanks for the help guys mash on. Graeme
