Yes whole hops. Im not sure it was worth the addittionial losses dues to the dead space under the mashtun plate. Ive worked in a brewpub chain one of the breweries had an hopback and it had a wonderful hop flavour and aroma dedpite using the same recipe snd ingredients as mine.

I used my mash tun as a hop back. Jury was undecided as to whether it improved aroma, but I think there was a better hop flavour rather than hop bitterness.

I bought an inch wide tubing to help with the grain run off as I was get grain clogging in the 12mm ID silicone tubing. However the tubing has a dreadful plastic smell. I have tried boiling water , VWP and then metasiiclate/percarbonate but the smell is still there. Any suggestions on how it...

Wha I have never seen mentioned is where the missing money went? The heart of it accounting software is a balance sheet that has an audit trail. Hopefully the public enquiry will have the teeth to extract this information either from Fujitsu and/or the PO.

Contaminated blood scandal. While I wouldn't want to minimise the suffering of one group by comparing it to another, cbs is on another level. Certainly in terms of deaths, numbers and payouts it will dwarf the po scandal. The gov has been kicking the can down the road for the best part of 50...

Have you seen mokeys boy's post recently? located in Bury.

well if people are going to get their pants in a twist over .0005 of a point then I direct them to the Anton Parr device above. We all have an in built tilt ABV tester. standing upright is 0% pure water, lying down is about 2L of 10% divide by the number of degrees you are off vertical and you...

I went to beer X and was chatting to the guy from Anton Parr who had some portable gravity testers (not much change from 2.5K if you were going to ask) I asked how it worked, there is a vibrating tube which measures the change in oscillation due to different density of liquid. Clever stuff. No...

Yes I take your point, not great accuracy.

Has anyone tried one of these? From our Sino ballon masters on Aliexpress so don't click the link if you don't want president Xi knowing your every move so I'll put the specs at the end. 7 in 1 tester PH testing nice, but the thing I spotted was specific gravity test. Now it is for saline...
