If the element is larger than 2400W = 10Amps you will need a 15amp dedicated circuit.

Thanks for that,a quick net search led me to stewart brewing at Loanhead,i will attempt to call in to as many as i can.

Yes Welcome, I am pretty sure the fermzilla does ferment under its own co2 pressure with the aid of a spunding valve which controls the pressure. I use a similar fementor and find a clean and fast ferment around 10PSI.I will be travelling to the UK/Scotland dec/jan next year can you recommend...

Hi Huez, I am interested in trub filter and chiller,i have sent a PM is it still for sale?

If your down south Kirrawee home brew also affiliated with homebrew shop Peakhurst, Marrackville hop and grain are my go to local shops.

I have used the motion Dynamics geared motor in conjunction with a speed controller (seperate circuit board) connected to the motor and a ebay 12mm coupling for the shafts to to join,a bit of an outlay in bucks but hasnt missed a beat.

I bought a millmaster years ago pre fluted rollers (knurled) and found the grain husk wasnt grabbing to the mill roller and millmaster sent a fluted roller free of charge and it hasnt missed a beat,i coupled this with a gearbox and speed controller and a mate bent up a hopper and she hasnt...

I think that could be possible with the esky idea and a longer boil with a kilo of Dex or sugar if the recipe calls for it.You will need a long boil and a slight reduced volume to get your numbers.I use a crown urn with a stainless mesh basket which can handle 8 KG max and managed to get 1.1 SG...

Its ready to bottle,i usually keg/bottle at 10-14 days after starting.

Keep bottles at recommended yeast temperature that you have used in your brew.

Planning ahead with a RIS brewed on the weekend,recipe from Hoppy days first time using WLP099 high gravity yeast. fermenting away without any issues I will have to store this one for a while,maybe a taste in July.

Gday AHBers, Over the weekend I brewed a hoppy sour using 4 kg pils with 0.9kg rolled wheat mashed at 65 which created 20L of 1.050 sour wort,I added lactic acid to reduce the PH to 4.5 and reduced the temperature to 35 deg and added Lactobacillus.2days later the PH was at 3.5 I boiled the wort...

IBU calculations have to allow for whirlpool time on total of hops,more importantly the late hop additions.The hops added at 80 deg will strip less alpha acid than the boil, its very hard to measure you can only calculate and adjust in future brews to your taste.

Gday Blekk,I don't circulate through the pump when boiling but if I have a high rye grain bill 10-20% I will.I usually do this because it minimizes the scorching of the element which also reduces its efficiency to boil quickly,usually done as boil temp is rising from 65-100deg and hot break is...

I am happy with the flow of the keg king pump I run on my 1V system,i split the pump discharge to flow into the mash basket and to the urn element with a valve to balance the flow.I have mounted my stainless RTD probe on a stainless T piece on the line running to the mash right at the top of the...
