I got mine about two weeks ago and will shortly be in the same boat. I don't see why you couldn't at least partially prime the second keg and then when you move the tap over, finish the job. It's likely what I'll do until I get a second tap.

The clawhammer system uses a mesh basket - Copper and Stainless Steel Distillation and BIAB Brewing Equipment Can't say I currently know anyone that uses a mesh basket but ask me again in a couple of weeks once mine has arrived :) I'm making a diy version of the clawhammer.

Hi folks I've been collecting parts for a controller and with payday being tomorrow I'm hoping to get the last of the stuff ordered so I can assemble it. There have been some changes in design so I just need to know if I'm on the right lines and what I'm missing. I'm looking to make a...

@HarryFlatters which one did you go for? Theres a few on there that look useful. This system could take some time to build out, with Christmas coming up and January usually being a crappy month it could be March before I'm running three vessels methinks. I do have some overtime monies coming...

A hoist is a good idea, I've got wooden beams above my planned brew area so will look into that.

@samale For the price of the bag I could give it a go I suppose, could be a tad heavy though. Full volume would make things easier and I do have two buckets that aren't doing much right now, maybe do a split smash or something. @foxy This time its true, there was a 50L for the same price but...

@Rodcx500z I suspect the wife blundered when she told me to get it, I'm going to end up with a home bar now rather than a shelf in the fridge :). I think all of the things you mention are on the cards now I just need to figure out sizes. I know the kettle says it's 95L but I won't get that out...

I got a new kettle but it's substantially larger than my current (old) one. The old one is 12L and the new one is 95L. The wife told me to get it... I was brewing about 5L batches, using a demijohn to ferment in and then filling 8 or so bottles or a party keg. What do I do with this new beast...

Thanks guys, I'll stop worrying now :)

I did a brew yesterday afternoon, a west coast pale kit 4.5L. I was trying something different with it and looking back I slipped up. I forgot to mash out and I pitched my yeast too hot, fortunately I used voss kveik and it seems to have started up but the brew is real murky, it looks like a...

yes please

Yes please :)

Hi Folks Just wanted to check I hadn't missed something when I've been looking at some AG equipment. I'll be building a brew and storage bench in my covered yard in the next couple of weeks hopefully but to brew out there I need something to brew with and gas burners are not an option. There...

Did you get anywhere with this? Sounds like a good little project :)

Turns out my worries were unfounded, the not flat pot does heat up quite nicely. It's on the hob now and went up 36.5 C in 15 minutes with the lid on :) My bag is a little smaller than I wanted but that's what happens when you don't read everything before ordering. All is well though and it will...

I should have been clearer in the op I think. I have two 12 litre pots, one is flat bottomed one is not. The instructions are mash in 3 litres of water and sparge with 4 litres. What I'm wondering is can I just mash in 7 litres and forget the sparge? It might not be an issue, I'm going to test...

It was made like it is rather than warped, I'm not sure if theres too much material for it to go flat like that. I'll do a boiling test vs the other pot and see what happens. In the event it fails, can I mash in 7 litres or will that change something? I might be able to do some juggling of pots...

Cheers for the input folks, I'll start with paper on the day and see where I end up afterwards :)

Hi folks Possibly a silly question but I'm new so I'm allowed a few right :) I've got the above kit and it says to use two pots, one for mash (3L) one for sparge (4L). Can I mash in 7L then boil that? I have got a second pot that someone gave me but the bottom isnt flat, the outer ring of the...
