I'm also suffering with this. I don't think the hot weather is helping. My question is how long is too long for lines? What happens when you add too much?

Tilt is the angle the iSpindel is at - 0 would be vertical. The device actually works by measuring that angle and the calibration equation tells the device how to convert that value into the equivalent gravity that produces that angle. you will notice that the iSpindel gets closer to horizontal...

I am really enjoying seeing the ideas on this thread. I'm using mini blackboard tags right now:

Blackboard rather than white board is a good call

The taps are a bit too close to each other for that to work I think:

They look great - I'll have a search.

Hi everyone, I treated myself to a three tap kegerator which is a thing of great beauty. It's a mangrove jacks one with a top font with three taps. I'm now wondering how I can indicate what beer is connected to each tap. My current plan is to put a small whiteboard behind the kegerator and...

Thanks AnimatedGIF. I've been watching some YouTube videos and feel like I will now be able start making some choices. Very tempted by a keggarator - that's a whole new can of worms!

I have a lovely new log cabin home office. It's big enough that I can finally start kegging my beer. Problem is that I know next to nothing about kegging beer - can anyone recommend some reading for me to work out what equipment I need and how to use it?

Honest brew are getting some next week if they ship to you?

Have you seen this? Looks like the dry hop ratios are a little different to what you are suggesting https://verdantbrewing.co/blogs/news/putty-returns-for-2021

I can't believe mashing out will ever have a negative impact on a brew. Feel free to do it whatever the recipe says. It's not uncommon for recipes to be a little 'breif'.

Assuming the Brewzilla is a similar size and shape as my Klarstein, you have about 8l of space between the bottom of the kettle and the bottom of the grain pipe, so 16l will be no where near enough strike water. I use 8 + 2.3 * kg for mashing, so 8 + 6.4*2.3 = about 23l

This is really interesting. I brewed a NEIPA @34C using Voss and found the same thing - I blamed it on my hop rocket not allowing decent circulation, perhaps it was inevitable? It wasn't awful - I drank it all, but hop character was missing. I'm conditioning another beer (more of a west coast...

What efficiency do you get? Getting rid of the sparge is very appealing
