    Thank you so so much for your advice. I'm going to take this away and digest it and come up with a plan of action.

    Help making a re circulation pump

    Thanks for the advice so far. I might pursue this regardless to regulate my temperature. Regarding my process: Heat Water to required Mash temp (2.5l per kilo of grain). Mash time of 1 hour (stir at half an hour). After an hour, drain off about 3 litres slowly and pour back over the top. Raise...

    Help making a re circulation pump

    This is really helpful. I think I will need extra copper pipe as it is definitely taller than 30cm. How would I go about connecting the copper pipe to the flexible hose? And indeed the copper pipe to the tap? I'll need to dig out the connection to the mash tun as I'm running late for work but...

    Help making a re circulation pump

    How does the below look? Ok, I'm happy to go with this pump: https://www.geterbrewed.com/brewferm-pumpin-15-magnetic-drive-pump/ So I'd need this: https://www.geterbrewed.com/ball-lock-valve-316-stainless-steel-1-2/ This: https://www.geterbrewed.com/silicon-tube-12x16mm-1-2-per-metre/ Two of...

    Looking for feedback...

    Hi Matt, It looks good. I've used geterbrewed.com and malt Miller. Having it all on one page is good as it means you don't have to click through. Downside, is you can't do a search on the page for your desired grain. One thing I really like about MM is they have the ability to save kits so you...

    Help making a re circulation pump

    Hi there, Thanks for replying! So I was planning on mounting it with a bungee cord holding it in place. Also on terms of sparge arm, I was just going to use the tube as then I could leave most of the lid on. This is obviously not the right pump as I'm in the UK. I'll need to find another...

    Help making a re circulation pump

    I'm currently only getting about 50% efficiency using biab with my ace boiler (picture attached). I'm using batch sparge method (I leave the gunk from the bottom of the mash tun and kettle in to clear the wort; I also do not squeeze the bag). I was thinking of adding a pump to try to improve...

    ****Fermentasaurus Mega Giveaway****

    I would like to trial the Fermentasaurus snub nose. Had some success with closed transfers out of a normal fermenting bucket, but I'm always on psi away from blowing the lid and spoiling my NEIPA. I'll have my fingers crossed!

    Anyone have a good NEIPA Recipe they'd like to share please?

    Morning All, Planning on doing a NEIPA recipe as I think I've finally got a plan for closed transfer and a vague idea of water treatment. Has anyone got any foolproof recipes (preferably with mosaic)? I only use a plastic bucket so cannot add hops and then remove them like I believe you can do...

    Reusing a yeast cake guidance

    Hi All, I'm planning on brewing an IPA tomorrow on top of a Kviek Lallemand Yeast cake. Do I literally just dump the fresh wort on top of it. I usually drain from a height into the fermenter to get lots of oxygen in to the wort. Will I do this differently as it will upset the trub? Thanks in...

    To priming sugar or not.

    You're so right. It's no different to a secondary transfer. I'll wait till I get some c02! Thanks!

    To priming sugar or not.

    Hi all, Last two brews have been a bit of a mare. Last night i kegged a dunkel and a dortmunder beer. Unfortunately my c02 has run out before I could purge the headspace. I've got some c02 coming on Wednesday. What will be the effects of waiting till then. I could purge with priming sugar...

    Diacetyl rest after cold crash advice urgently needed!

    Took your advice, both taste really nice, so I'm going to go ahead and keg. Will remember for next time. Just seen An Ankou's message. If they taste good now, could they get worse without me bringing them back up to temp? Really wanted to brew on Tuesday but will have nowhere to ferment if I...

    Diacetyl rest after cold crash advice urgently needed!

    Hi All, So I haven't brewed a lager for a while and now have a dunkel and a dortmunder in the fermentation Chambers. Unfortunately I've gone straight from 12 degrees to cold crash. I didn't do a diacetyl rest. Anyone have any ideas to proceed? My original plan was just to put it in the kegs...

    Beginners Guide to Water Treatment (plus links to more advanced water treatment in post #1)

    Hi All, I've used the calculator to try and work out my water profile for a NEIPA. I was thinking of using solely Tesco Ashbeck water. Does this profile look right? Unfortunately I only have gypsum and calcium chloride (no epsom salts). This is for 20l of mash water TIA CRS: 0 millilitres...
