How high is your waterpressure as mine has a booster pump and it keeps 120psi to the membrane and its fine, it atually seems to work better the more pressure i keep on it according to a tds meter.

just doing the raspberry wheat beer, time will tell :)

i am using a braumeister so im using the other set of instructions on the sheet but i sparged till 27l i think (not at home atm to check) then the boil took me back to 24

Lol I'm sat here doing the same kit! Good luck with yours, I have never been a fan of maths I just roll with it however if you want a number I have 24l left and my boil is just ending.

I have only done it once (today oddly enough) and it's because I'm putting vanilla in this stout and I wanted it off the yeast first, dunno why mind just thought a fresh bucket may help.

Had a petco boiler and cool box but my wife bought me a braumeister so now it's all shiney!

i only ever get grassy from fuggles or goldings tbh

sorry for the long reply but i am now set up with 2 crusader 20l kegs, have tried them to my beer taps i have and they are working well ( full of water mind you) my first brew is fermenting now so hope to keg it soon, thank you for all your experience :)

i don't normally bother with any politics and i tend to skim over the bullet points of both but this time there there is only one thing i noticed and that is labour has a mad plan to spend billions (if there maths is right this time:) ) and they want to pay for this by sticking a load into...

i have been measuring fridges to peoples odd looks so far and the fridges without the ice boxes seem to have up to 77cm head space, its the compressor bulge in the bottom that's the issue on some. 30l crusader? not seen that and it seems really short! the 20l from what i have read is about 590mm?

thank you very much all, that was helpful, i will now go with my tape measure and find a fridge suitable :)

hi. i will finally be getting back into brewing shortly after a move and real life getting in the way but the one thing i was hoping to avoid this time is the bottling! so for this attempt i was thinking of the under counter fridge approach with a couple of 20l kegs in them. after...

I dont know really, I think its just that in a hobby like this I love learning why things happen as the reaults of what I do now wont be tasted for a few weeks, so if something happens and the temprature drifts while mashing I dont need to worry that much like it will ruin the batch. im going...

Thank you for those temps, I have three thermometers, a stc1000, a digital cooking thermometer and a analogue dial thermometer, I am going to test all three of them this weekend jn a pan of water to see if there is a massive problem with one of them giving me a duff reading last time. As I...

Thank you for the reply all, I agree now I think about it, I should have left it longer before bottling, I got caught up in the fun of it all I suppose :) It's good to hear it may pull back with a bit of age, but the first attempt can't go perfect I suppose lol. On the mash temp front what is...

thank you for the replys, as for the recipie it was one that google brought up and it was as follows (so says my notes) .878kg of marris otter 12.5g of challenger hops at start of boil 12.5g of goldings at flame out 60 min mash 60min boil and i have got the note of mash at 66...

hi all. after spending last weekend having a lot of fun doing my first ever all grain brew i dont think it has turned out that well. in short i did a small 1 gallon brew in the nylon bag type affair, all went well i thought and after putting into a demijohn, the next morning i found a...

Thank you for the welcome, a am going to try all grain I think as even though I'm learning as i go at least I can control what's going in, I have ordered a kit with a electric boiler and cool box, I still have my fermenting bucket from my attempt years ago so less to buy. One thing I...

hi. after having a go years ago with a beer kit (the one with the condensed wort in a big baked bean can) i diddnt enjoy it enough to keep going, after trying some of a distant friend of mine it was brilliant and got me into having a go again. little did i know back then that everything...
