Thanks Tavas. Controls are pretty good. I'll ease the off for the next one in a couple of weeks. I look up how to mark the pot for volumes. Be handy anyhow.

Boil in 40L Pot and a burner from the camping store. Thats it.

Ok - I boiled off 10L in the hour. Aiming for 20L to the fermenter from 26L strike water and lucky if I 16L. You do boil with the lid off right?

Thanks - def boiling too hard.

How rolling is your boil - it seems I managed to boil off 35% of volume in a 60 min boil. Had a very low efficiency as I still got the right gravity at the end of the boil. Using BIAB so may not have stirred enough at start of boil.

Just done my first brew day with refractometer at hand. How freaking easy! Mine left no guess work Haven't used it during fermentation though.

Ross, Will you be getting the ones in the original post back in stock? Cheers Will

Hi, Made this recipe a couple of times. The first one turned out pretty good, though I didn't get full fermentation (stopped at SG 1.020) and felt a little syrupy. I think this is because I carefully transferred the wort without splashing after the boil. Tasted pretty good thought. Second...

How do you keep the inside of your tube clean - I've cleaned and sterilised a couple before storing and they still get a little mould type growth in them - PITA to get a new metre each time. Seems that I'm missing something. Cheers

Thanks.

I have a similar problem - I'm making the recipe with only 2kg Aussie malt and POR. I know simple but wanted to try the process the first and produce at least something recognisable (apparently should taste like generic beer). I have an OG of 1.035. Should I add sugar (don't have any malt...

Happy to say that I ordered on the 25th April and received today, complete with little Warsteiner truck. They all look good, though I wouldn't know the difference. Got to get the rest of the gear organised now - though I had a little more time by some of the previous post. :D
