Not new :grin: Far&ING old actually. I noticed a post today on Facebook Page "Have s stout and shout it out" It was from a member from Dunfermline and I immediately thought of THBF member Dunfie. That is when I thought about how long it was since I had caught up with this forum...

The OP asked Is HERMS worth the effort? Been using a HERMS system for 5 years. 1. I'm lazy 2. There is no effort = I'm happy HERMS brewing is like being in the army. HURRY UP AND WAIT! :D Screwy

This yeast changed around 2007/2008 and now holds krausen past fermentation. I drop temp to 2 - 3 degrees after 10 days. After three days the slimy krausen is still present, suspended yeast seems to drop ok but the krausen persists. No probs just the nature of the beast. Cheers, Screwy

Just runs out the end Vossy! Wort recirculates via the pump and HE then returns to the MLT where it simply flows into the surface of the liquor. The float holds the end of the hose up at the surface, wort runs out the end. There is no falling stream of wort to disturb the grainbed. This is...

Sorry can't figure out how to post images directly from my Desktop. Best have a look HERE: http://zymichael.blogspot.com.au/ Click on an image to open it! Cheers, Screwy

G'day all, finally after years of procrastination MK V of the brewery: All Brass replaced with stainless finally. Timer allows me to set the brewery ready for an early start to brewdays. Cheers, Screwy

Simple really: Length of silicon hose and a fishing net float, inspired by the Blichmann Autosparger Screwy

Don't visit Bundy (couple of hours North of here) all that often since my old mum died, but drive up now and again to visit family. My uncle worked at the factory where the brewed soft drinks are made, the old Electra Company in Bundaberg. Have a few old recipes (shhhh) but not for the Ginger...

Gave away secondary vessel fermentation years ago for the same reason as previous posts. Reduces risk of infection etc. Do a forced ferment ahead of time to find your TG. Take a small amount of wort about day three and place it somewhere warm (upper 20's) and it will ferment out quickly, after...

Wow! Two feet of snow! :lol: Screwy
