Hi Drewe, ive shown this to my brother who is pretty interested. I will be down Newcastle way on the weekend if it’s still available to have a look.

WORLD HAS GONE MAD!! NEWCASTLE BEERFEST NOW CANCELLED!

I loved the Alt beer over there. Would u share your recipe?

Appears you enjoy a saison! I’ve brewed a couple and have turned out ok. Care to share your saison recipe? Want to do another one this weekend

Yes please friend

Well after dumping all the wort and pulling it apart to test switches and elements, everything looked fine so put it all back together and tried it again it worked. So not sure what was going on, to me it points towards the controller not outputting to switch the second element on maybe...

Well that definitely wasn’t the double brew day I had in mind. I was just guessing and throwing things in a bit willy nilly. But at 12.30am I ended up with 1 cube of golden coloured wort and one cube of dark, nearly black wort. I’m sure both will lack a depth of flavour and a fair bit of...

Well, after some tinkering around after dinner, the robo seems back in action. The watered down wort in the cubes is still warm, so I’m giving it a crack. 2 batches, first one will be about 1.3 cubes with an amount yet to be determined of dextrose thrown in to boost the abv a bit and hop as...

Thanks for the advice mark, these cubes will be getting dumped tonight or tomorrow. Ah well, first batch I’ve had to dump in a few learn on the run years of all grain brewing, can’t complain too much. Double brew day next time I guess.

Nah mate no errors came up, and yes I tried the unplug and plug it back in trick. Will have a better look tomorrow

So 78 deg wort approx 15l with 5 litres of 100 deg water dumped on top still not enough? I do have a 15 litre urn I use for sparge water, but would take me 4 goes now I’ve watered it down to 40 litres. How long do u think I’d have to get it done? It happened about hour and a half ago now

Advice needed. I am a Robobrew, no chill brewer. After mashing in my Robobrew and sparging, I set Robobrew to boil, (both elements on) only to see that the 500w element is the only one going, 1900w element light is off, temperature not going up and no sound of the usual build up to boil...

Hi Steve, I'm heading over your way on Saturday. Just wondering if you would be around in the morning to pick some stuff up? And if so, would you prefer I placed an order online during the week?

Wife and kids away = double brew day. A couple of easy drinkers!

Just watched it myself. Could have been a lot more talk about people's setups and brewing techniques I think.
