Thanks for the replies folks @aamcle @peebee just for clarity - I am doing the whole fermentation and maturation in the one conical fermenter, then transferring to a brite tank for a couple of days to force carb at the very end. I have a lager on the go at the minute and don't want the lager...

Do you struggle clearing the trub from your conical? We open the bottom valve but because it's so compacted it doesn't flow out. Wasn't sure if we could poke it with a sterilised pole or something.

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone has ever used glycol in a Speidel fermenter jacket with the chiller they provide? We had been running it with DI water and it worked fine but when we tried to do a lager it struggled to stay at the lower temperature, especially on warmer days. We tried it...

Boil Kettle Wilko stockpot 2.4kw kettle element as above thermowell either PID controller as above or standard inkbird Ball valve and pipe using gravity to drain to the fermenter I would like to add a trub dam like the SS Brewtech one however I am not sure where to buy one or if there is a...

EDIT: Sorry I had to split over 2 posts here for some reason After well over a year using stockpots, an oven and a gas ring for small batch brewing I am finally going to upgrade. I want to make temperatures more controlled and accurate as well as making life a bit easier on a brew day and...

Cheers athumb.. I'll be getting after Christmas when I won't feel quilty about spending money on myself lol

Sorry only getting to see this now...just 17litre left. Looks a great job though

@Slid @MyQul great this is exactly what I've been looking for I'm planning to make a 3 tier system for small batch AG brews and going to make them from stockpots but didn't know what brand was good. I want to get pots that have decent thickness steel bottom and walls, these look like they'd be...

Yeah that's why I'd like something decent, that what @Cwrw666 mentioned I saw on one of the other posts about about brands but was just trying to find a few more that people tried and teated

@Rogermort @Brightonnik Do you remember what grade and thickness steel the ones you mentioned above were? Just trying to get some perspective before I go looking. The Buckingham steel ones you always see on ebay and amazon seem very thin

Good stuff cheers folks. I've a few options so will have a think before I order and let you know after I've brewed round Christmas

:laugh8: hard to know with text sometimes

OK cheers, going to have a think. I may use this as my first liquid yeast run but as we'll be doing it over Christmas with a few cousins I may just go for the easier option this time. I'm not sure if geterbrewed do w34/70 so will have to look

Very true, as long as you like it. I saw the Japanese one too, definitely on my list of ones to try

...the file size was too large

Evening folks, My Father and his friend have built an insulated housing to hold our fermenter that should work nicely with our cooling jacket, so our fermentation temperatures should hopefully be pretty accurate. Therefore we want to try a lager (tried to add a photo of the housing but it was...

Great count me in

Looking forward to hearing about this, I'm planning to get it for a mash tun as well after Christmas probably

I'm sure past customers of geterbrewed are aware of this due to the email blast tonight but thought I would put it on here in case anyone is looking for a Grainfather. They are doing a 20% discount on it until Monday 26th November, which brings it down to £600. If you're buying it you can also...

I'm a fan of the cloudy look as well but have been experimenting with a lot of different types of recipes just for the learning of it. I've used Irish Moss quite a bit and always turned out some very crisp clear looking brews athumb.. As @dullboy said, I through it in at 15 minutes left of the...
