Wow a few years! Cheers for the replies guys Jay

Having read another post on a UK forum about no chill cubes (I've used these for most of my AG brews) Was wondering how long people have left the wort in the cube for? I usually brew the beer put into a cube, let it cool to room temp around 24 hours then transfer into a fermenter and pitch the...

I just sit mine on the floor without issue. Jay

Cheers Killer Brew, great idea only watched a Youtube video about this the other day! Jay

Cheers for the responses, interesting :) Ill try adding extra mash water next time I do a small grain bill, but as butisitart says can happen on any size grain bill. Jay :)

Cheers All :) Well I done my second brew today on the GF, it was a small grain bill of 3.7kg, so called for 13.49l of mash water, anyway the pump seemed to suck in air whilst circulating the mash, this did not happen on my first brew. It created quite alot of foam. I stopped and started the...

Great info Bribie, ive been using the BIAB method for few years and not had one bad batch. The only difference being i used no hoist, just lifted the bag into a spare fermenter bucket on top of a colander to drain the remaining wort or sparge some water over it. Then pour that back into the urn...

Looking good!
