My base recipe is based on SIMPLICITY MILD in Gordon Strong's Modern Homebrew Recipes book. Basically MO, crystal (8-10%) and chocolate (low single figures %) malts then bittering hops and yeast of choice. I'd recommend Gordon's book as it has some great, more complex mild recipes if you want...

I notice most pumps come with a 'do not run dry warning' are they fiddly to prime or does gravity usually do the job? Might be a silly question but I'm always cautious when it comes to liquid ... devious stuff that never seems to want to go where I want to get it!

Looks like you might be out of luck (just) - capped I'm measuring one at 28cm, maybe 1mm or so under...

A little too far for me (100ish miles)...

Where are you? I'd love them if I'm anywhere nearby...

Got to be Brewsmith for me, it's one of those pieces of software that you keep on finding new features in and it makes you keep questioning your own setup & processes and so keeps you learning and evolving.

I'm interested in these if you still have some and I'm in Cardiff so can collect, let me know...
