Thank you so so much for your advice. I'm going to take this away and digest it and come up with a plan of action.

Thanks for the advice so far. I might pursue this regardless to regulate my temperature. Regarding my process: Heat Water to required Mash temp (2.5l per kilo of grain). Mash time of 1 hour (stir at half an hour). After an hour, drain off about 3 litres slowly and pour back over the top. Raise...

This is really helpful. I think I will need extra copper pipe as it is definitely taller than 30cm. How would I go about connecting the copper pipe to the flexible hose? And indeed the copper pipe to the tap? I'll need to dig out the connection to the mash tun as I'm running late for work but...

All stocked up at the moment but I'll check out the site for pumps.

How does the below look? Ok, I'm happy to go with this pump: https://www.geterbrewed.com/brewferm-pumpin-15-magnetic-drive-pump/ So I'd need this: https://www.geterbrewed.com/ball-lock-valve-316-stainless-steel-1-2/ This: https://www.geterbrewed.com/silicon-tube-12x16mm-1-2-per-metre/ Two of...

Hi Matt, It looks good. I've used geterbrewed.com and malt Miller. Having it all on one page is good as it means you don't have to click through. Downside, is you can't do a search on the page for your desired grain. One thing I really like about MM is they have the ability to save kits so you...

Hi there, Thanks for replying! So I was planning on mounting it with a bungee cord holding it in place. Also on terms of sparge arm, I was just going to use the tube as then I could leave most of the lid on. This is obviously not the right pump as I'm in the UK. I'll need to find another...

I'm currently only getting about 50% efficiency using biab with my ace boiler (picture attached). I'm using batch sparge method (I leave the gunk from the bottom of the mash tun and kettle in to clear the wort; I also do not squeeze the bag). I was thinking of adding a pump to try to improve...

Thank you. Way too far for me.

Hi there, Where are you based?

I would like to trial the Fermentasaurus snub nose. Had some success with closed transfers out of a normal fermenting bucket, but I'm always on psi away from blowing the lid and spoiling my NEIPA. I'll have my fingers crossed!

Morning All, Planning on doing a NEIPA recipe as I think I've finally got a plan for closed transfer and a vague idea of water treatment. Has anyone got any foolproof recipes (preferably with mosaic)? I only use a plastic bucket so cannot add hops and then remove them like I believe you can do...

Hi All, I'm planning on brewing an IPA tomorrow on top of a Kviek Lallemand Yeast cake. Do I literally just dump the fresh wort on top of it. I usually drain from a height into the fermenter to get lots of oxygen in to the wort. Will I do this differently as it will upset the trub? Thanks in...

Hi All, I want to brew tomorrow but struggling for ideas! Has anyone got a good ipa / neipa recipe using 7c's falconers flight) and idaho 7. I've got 200g of the former and 100g of the latter. I'll be dumping it on a lallemand dry kveik cake (Used for a cascade IPA). In terms of grain I have 5kg...

You're so right. It's no different to a secondary transfer. I'll wait till I get some c02! Thanks!
