Cheers for advice, will keep an eye out for second hand and a false bottom. Now to decide a pump!

Good afternoon, I'm looking for some advice on my DIY BIAB setup. I've been using for a little while now, and getting 80-85% efficiency (fine crushing malt), so generally happy with it. I'm using recirc and a PID to control temp (i'm also experimenting with CraftBeerPi for unnecessarily...

Hi folks, Wondering if you would mind checking my recipe/water adjustment logic? Have use Bru 'N' Water, aiming for 2:1 Sulphate:Chloride, as hinted on a current recipe. Bedfordshire water is reported to be (and Ca confirmed with Salifert Ca Kit): Ca: 110 Mg: 8 Sodium: 50 Cl: 74 SO: 113 HCO3...

I ended up chickening out and sending my little brother (bless him) to the LHBS. Finger crossed this will be a gooden. I really need to buy a Wort Chiller though.....! Cheers for the help, Jakey

I appreciate this is an old post, but I was going to substitute Styrian Goldings with Fuggles, but you have with First gold. Which is likely to be a closer match? Cheers, Jake

I have found a supplier for a the new type large soda stream bottle (60 litres) to the old style soda stream injector http://hopandgrape.co.uk/catalog/detail ... GAS2157070 However, they are 20 euros, plus 20 euros shipping. £40 FOR AN ADAPTOR! I was wondering if any one else needs one...

Well, I didn't even you know you could get metals ones! My neighbour very kindly dropped this round to me the other night, which is fantastic! He has even given me the soda stream bottle and adapter for injecting. My question is, is there anyway of hooking the soda stream gas cylinder to 2 beer...

as above, get the little yeasties to work. Put a damp flannel over the top for now.

I finished my AG#3 yesterday, but it has quite a high SG (1050 instead of 1040). I am trying to figure out where I went wrong? Do I need to try and correct it, or do I just leave it? All I can think of is mash effeciency? I know that I collected 27l of wort at a corrected gravity reading of...

I know it's a bit of hassle, but could you not put it in to a few 2 litres bottles? You could get the value 2 litre sparkling water for a few pence and store it.

Cheers Aleman, that is generally my theory. On batch #3 I am going to try slower sparging with more holes in the foil. Will see if it makes any difference.

I love this forum! Seem to be learning about 10 things new every time I visit. You really cannot beat learning from other peoples experiences/mistakes, and peoples years of knowledge! So for that, a massive thank you. I have been using BrewStews FANTASTIC guide for my first two all grains. Is...

21, have been doing kits on and off for a couple of years. Trying out all grain now.
