Did bag on stones for 10+ brews. It works but: - massive channeling down the sides. And this still causes minor issues with batch sparge (i.e. Can't recirc effectively) - the stones take a lot of heating, or of you don't pre heat suck a lot out of the mash - a lot of break in the kettle I...

I've actually thought similar to Nick and do the opposite of a standard infusion. Start high, then add more grain to drop the temp. I.e step 70, 62, 72. the idea being the first step creates a bunch of dextrins, the second turns them into maltose using the enzymes in the infused grain, and the...

Why carapils? At og 1.078, I don't think you'll need it. Heck, I'd sub it for sugar

I always mash in at 55 for 10. I feel it is easier to get rid of dough balls with a thicker mash, and I believe the final product has a tighter head. I freely accept that these perceptions may be all in my head.

Thanks to warmbeer for point out that i posted this in the wrong thread... EDIT: Wall depth is 70mm. And yes, I'm aware the numbers up above don't add up, due to aformentioned accuracy issues. The 70mm is accurate though, the rest are give or take!

LOL. My head is filled with a codeine haze from tonsillitis, and a shiny haze from the celli taps that arrived yesterday. Thanks mate.

The wall depth is 75mm. I measured everything up, but the post got lost. What exact measurements are you after? Internal? The hump? The hump was 170x170. The rest you can figure from the manufacturer specs and the wall depth.

94 hours into Skyrim and one of the best games I've played in a LONG time. Only issue is, I'm now level 54, and dual weilding I can one shot everything except an ancient dragon - they take two hits. And that's with difficulty maxed. Still, that's OK - when I want a challenge, I try a two handed...

External: 860Wx890Hx550D Internal: 730Wx730Hx410D Hump: 180Wx170H 4 corneys on the floor. Bottle and 1 keg on the hump, with sleeve. These measurements are not exact. give a +/- 10mm to most of them. My tape measure sucks, and I've never been one for accurate measurements at the best of times...

30% Wey Munich 1 70% Wey Vienna OG 1.050, Mash @ 66 Bitter to 30 to 35 IBU @ 60 (I tend to use Simcoe) 1g/l Hersbrucker @ 20 Go for a full bodied lager yeast such as Staro Prague fermented in the mid-range for the yeast IMO something like this is the best option for the mega swill crowd...

Removed my order from the spreadsheet.

Kids found my fermenter. I'd glad wrapped it and rested a lid on top for extra security. Lid was gone and glad wrap had finger holes all through it. Not happy. Fingers are crossed, but I'm not holding my breath. Last gravity reading was a week ago and it was down to 1.011. So close...

Mines up to 3 weeks now and down to 1.015. Dropped only a handful of points over the last week... Tasting bloody good though

Simcoe. Bittering or late, its brilliant
