A man after my own heart :lol:

Yes thats correct. 1. I have managed to get a stuck mash by recirculating too fast. I'm not sure of the exact flow rate i use but I recirculate for >60 mins. I've just upgraded my mash tun and my new false bottom has slightly larger holes so I may be able to circulate at a higher rate. 2...

I use a home made version of the wort spreader, made out of stainless nuts, bolts and washers. Not as elegant as the ones EB manufactures but does the job.

I have a HERMS set-up so I continually recirculate, then at the end of the mash I fit the spinning arm. - sorry no help for your set-up

I use a March May 809 pump with a ball valve controlling the output rate.

I tried to make one a few years ago but never managed to get it to spin as well as the bought one. I use a "phils sparge arm" and sparge as slow as I can, approx 600ml/min. I pump from the HLT until the arm just starts to rotate. http://youtu.be/HMLVjkTFBYA. Mark

Not sure how strong they are or if they have dividers, but Leek Brewery sell them. http://www.lawtonpc.co.uk/leekbeer/cms.html (You need to navigate to bottling consumables). Unfortunately they will charge you £10 + VAT delivery so depends on how many you need. Also check what size bottles...

A friend of mine did the 3 week brewlabs course (in 2008) with the intention of starting a micro brewery. He was very happy with the course, claims it was a good £3.5K investment even though he decided not to pursue that option due to the economic climate. I believe about half the people on...

I use a home made version of the stainless wort aerator - made from stainless nuts bolts and a washer :lol: You can buy the plastic version from hope and grape - clicky

Bar steward :mrgreen: Unlike you I still cannot find a tall larder fridge on free cycle

that's only part of the kit, once you start down the AG route you end up with, kegs, gas, keggerators, taps, fonts, etc....., and it will all eventually end up shiny :whistle:

Hi Darcey I extended my 3 wire PT100 probe and connected it to an XLR connector. I used thin cable from maplins as recommended by Vossy. To protect the cable I put a stainless steel outer sheath

Hi I think the one you have found from Farnell should work, i believe DPCO is equivalent to DPDT. This one appears to meet the spec but is currently out of stock until April :shock: This one from Maplins is only a Single pole, so you would need twice as many

Hi I've only had a quick look at the Electric Brewery Website, but assuming that your PID gives an output of 12V DC then any 40A SSR that can cope with that input and can handle an output of 240V AC, (assuming your elements are 240V) should work. Auber Instruments do one or there are a number...
