I have started using RO water for brewing and using water chemistry. I have been looking through some old post from MHB in regards to lactic acid dosage. Found one which he says .6ml per/kg will lower the ph by 0.1. He was referring to example of 9kg with a ph of 5.7 to 5.2. He says that is a...

Hi all, I have a question about the kegland digital gauge for the blowtie spunding valve. Is there an easy way to remove the gauge as i would like to replace the battery. There is a video that kegland have but it does not seem to be as easy as shown. I have heard that if you close the valve then...

I think you mean "A guide to Mini-BIAB". It is at www.biabrewer.info. Hope this helps

Just measured the dead space. Took the screen out of the pipe. It measure 4 inches (100mm) from bottom of boiler to lip on the malt pipe. Just over 7 ls being 300mm in diam.

Hi all. I have been using my digiboil mainly for BIAB. I have purchased an up grade which includes malt pipe ,support ring and bottom screen. I have been trying to setup a equipment profile in brewfather. I have read that people are using brewzilla 35l profile which has a 6.7 dead space. The...

As i have now purchased a digiboil 35l for doing BIAB. I no chill and have seen a couple of you tube clips of a where they use a 35l digiboil biab and leave it cool over night in the boiler. It is covered with glad wrap and the lid put on. This person then transfer the following day. I do have...

I have a jug that is marked at 2lts. Iused this jug to fill my 15lt cube to 16l. Then i added the extra 4.36l using a pyrex jug with markings on the side. I have measured the diam of the boiler being 300mm. This being radius squ .150x.150x3.14x .270 which was the depth of water x 1000 to get...

Not sure if you are using a digiboil but have found out that the volume measurements are not to be taken as to what you have. I have put in a measured volume 20.36l and it is showing 19.5l. I guess it will be measured volumes from here on in.

Have now purchased a digiboil 35i. I am using Brewfather app. I have measured the the space below the tap. It is just over a litre. Should I use this as trub losses. Being so close to the bottom will end up with trub in no chill cube. Guess I will have to use a strainer for the fermenter.

Thanks for the advice. Have decided to go with the digiboil 35l. Guess i will now have to tune it in. Doing BIAB what sort of grain absorption rate should i be looking at. See some people say .6 others .8 and others different again if you squeeze the bag. Not a high ABV drinker and normally brew...

The boilers i am looking at have a on/off switch only. There is no in between settings for mashing. The only safety is a boil dry cut off. These boilers are mainly for stills. I need to be able to set it at 66 degrees for mashing.

I am looking at purchasing a 30l beer me boiler for BIAB. As this has no temp control i am using my inkbird 308. I know i could get a digiboil 35 for the same job but as i am looking at between 15 and l8l using my fermenter king junior i feel this is a waste. My question is profile set up. I...

Hi everybody, I am looking at getting into larger volumes.At present only do 13l BIAB because of my equipment being a 19l bigW pot. As i have a fermenter king junior which is 18l i am looking at the T500 boiler. Does this have a controllable thermostat which i could use for mashing. I have a...

Looking at doing a 11l blonde ale. 1.042 OG 15ibu. It will be 98% pale ale malt and 2% light crystal. Wanting to add Raspberries at about day 3 or 4 to primary fermenter. Would 1kg be okay or should I add more. It will be fermented at 20 degrees using Kolsch dry yeast. Not sure whether to...
