1.5 degree accuracy... :| I have literally no idea how this would compare with anything else though.

Tokyo is a great beer... although while I'm normally a bit skeptical of collaborations, Tokyo Black Horizon is one of the all time greats. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/brewdog-nogne-o-mikkeller-black-tokyo-horizon/137813/

Decent beer - if you can bear to drop below 9%, the Stone IPA and Vocation Life and Death can usually be found in the same offer and are recommended.

Agree wholeheartedly... plus David Cameron's favourite drink... https://www.channel4.com/news/politics-alcohol-nigel-farage-david-cameron-tony-blair

Been very interested in this since it popped up in the other thread. Friend of mine who posts here sporadically is going to try to build one - will report back should we be successful. Have also found what looks like a pre-built version... http://www.3d-mechatronics.de/en/ispindel_10956391065/

I've had one - its a bit meh. Quite partial to picking one up for Steak and Ale pie purposes though.

Jimmy - sent you a PM.

Jimmy - just a couple of quick questions if you don't mind, but interested and based in Sheffield. Does the mash tun have the sparge arm? Also - is the pot stainless? Can't see myself going over to gas, but just pondering how difficult it would be to move the element from my peco.

If it interests - Magic Rock's Highwire Grapefruit is a much better hoppy craft IPA/grapefruit combo.

Ta - thought as much. Thinking of getting an inkbird primarily for holding sparge/strike water at temp if I move from BIAB to a Mash tun - so I guess this would do... but conscious that I may also want to build a ferm chamber in the not to distant future. 308 isn't too much more in any case.

No cooling - does this mean this would be no good for running a fermentation chamber? Thanks in advance.

Sounds sensible... Cheers

So I'm thinking about getting a cool box style mash tun instead of BIAB... nothing fancy... just basically all the mess I make during the brewing is between Mash out and starting the boil. I'm planning to stick with 5 gallon batches for the foreseeable... All I'm looking to find out is...

I find leaving my hyrdrometer in the kitchen somewhere... usually with a maturing sample of whatever is going left in it to be an adequate storage method... and only a minor barrier to a happy marriage.

You can force carbonate beer in a keg... just add lots of CO2 (google force carbonation, there are charts and everything). If you don't have a decent sized CO2 cylinder then this isn't an option. The options are to turn it up to the required PSI and leave for a week or so... or some derivation...

Have this book... Suits me and my beer tastes very well. Much better for a beginner than anything else I've seen

Looks really good - This was my plan however it worked out cheaper to buy with a BIAB starter kit since I needed the boiler and related gubbins.

It's definitely easier to keg - but on balance I think the bottling is worth it. Especially at first. The option to store bottles for a long time and go back to them, or share with your friends outweighs the pain for me. I've always just bottled - but have the benefit of a cellar to keep it...

Thanks. This is what I had in mind... Although I may try moving outside first

That's pretty much what I was afraid of... This looks a good fan... Alas I'm not quite getting to 100l boils any time soon. But for this price range I'd probably get a hole knocked through and replace the kitchen hood instead... Thanks though.
