I mix Make It Up Club on Tuesday Nights every week but if it's a Wednesday , it's doable.

I need some advice on what sort of Stockpot to source for AG brewing , i'm ready to make the leap from Partial Mash brewing.
Need to know what sizes for Brew In The Bag , it seems 40L is recommended here and there.
Also , what are your thoughts on an Urn instead of a Stockpot.
cheers

This is a curly one but in the spirit of recycling water and possible starches , here goes...
When i cook Rice , i wash it three times to remove starches and make for a less gluggy brighter looking rice grain after cooking.
It crossed my mind yesterday that the milky water i was pouring on the...
The T-58 saga continues...the yeast (as i mentioned at the Head of the Topic) got too hot (up to around 26C) after a heat pad mishap.
Reduced temp to 18C ; slow bubbling for another day (the yeast looked dead through the top of the fermenter) , then nothing for a whole day.
This morning , it...
thanks people ! it did get up to 26C !!! maybe i can call it a '2nd day diacetyl rest' ;)
after pulling the plug and getting the temp down to 18C today , even though the yeast doesn't look so good i'm still getting bubbles in the airloclk every 30 seconds so there's likely enough juice left in...
Thanks all !
Unfortunately i might have killed it !
Put it on the heat pad for a 'while' yesterday , forgot it ; went to work last night , got back at Midnight and it was like a boiling kettle.
It had chewed through the sugars down to 1.022 from 1.049 in a day but now it's looking very brown...
I'm making a Belgian Wheatbeer with T-58.
I've heard a few people say this prefers around 22C.
At present it's 18C in the Kitchen with a Jacket around it to keep temp stable
Any suggestions ?

I really get what you say about the overt sweetness.
The Pilsner is only just starting to get any carbonation and the sweetness seems to be conveyed in a very different way at that carb. level.
I've found that in some tap beers the excess of carbonation makes hops really attack my top...
I started brewing this year in March and it was still Summer Temps , i'm just wondering what sort of time i would expect for Bottle Carbonation in Winter ?
I'm conditioning in the kitchen near the fridge (which is the warmest place) but averages around 15C or less.
The last 2 brews : Bock and...
Didn't mean to start a war ! Sorry peeps !!
Just trying to figure something out and needed help , as i don't have scales right now.
I'm sure im not the only one who has ever been in this situation before or during a brew day.
I've divided the pack before as a guesstimate , maybe next time...
I tried to get a hold of a digital scale for weighing hops from China online but they are out of stock.
Not have an accurate weighing method is a bit of a disaster for bittering/flavouring/aroma of wort , so this leads me to my question.
Does anyone know the approx. weight of a Single Hop...
