Wow, just saw this thread. Was having the exact same problem with my refractometer except I also have a hydrometer that measures the true value so I thought the refractometer was broken or I wasn't using it right.
So just to be sure, the wort OG taken with the refractometer is a true reading...
I would love this. Have been struggling with keeping the temperature of my beer up during fermentation. Maybe not so much going into summer but winter comes every year.
Hey madpie, I just got into all-grain brewing and bought a 65L brewzilla. Couldn't be happier. My mate has a 40ish litre braumeister and it is a really nice piece of equipment.

Thanks for the info guys.

Still leaning towards the cheeky peek system. I'll keep researching until the systems are...
How is the quality of cheeky peaks SS nano pots? They look like a quality product in the picture cant find anyone except the owners doing reviews on youtube.
Thanks for the advice. I think you guys are right in that the one thing I will regret is not going big enough. We have a pretty good relationship with the landlord and dad is a sparky (I worked with him for 4 years), luckily the circuit board is near where I do all my brewing so installing a new...
Hey everyone,
I am looking at buying something to brew grain in.
Background:
