Although I haven't done this myself as i like the coffee , My understanding is using Pale Chocolate will also assist in muting the roast coffe flavours.

Lookin good BYB!!! When are you going to test it out on a brew??? Woody

Mine arrived today Phillip thanks heaps for organising ... I am wrapped! Woody

Maaaate!!!! :icon_vomit: When you get that New Bling you won't want to go back to the old kit. You will be like a kid in a lolly shop!!!! Tony is correct you can manage fine with the 50 Tun a long as you have a Herms which is what you are planning otherwise water additions for Temp will catch...

Crusty, As you are aware I am looking at the PID for Herms, I feel tempmate is more than enough for HLT. The main reason I added gauges is a guage is far more reliable than digital and in practice I do look at both. The brew I did this weekend I realised I had an issue with my tempmate probe due...

I agree to get your starting point but from there you can just measure... Each to their own as it would be bloody close.

All fixed, I reckon this will be real handy. Woody

Guys just thought I would post this as it is very handy for someone wanting to mark a Sight Glass or Dip Stick You just key in the Pot Dimensions and hit calculate and it gives you a chart with Litres by each centimetre.. Woody http://home.iprimus.com.au/foo7/tank.html

Very neat mate , looks good! What size element is that and how big is the Pot?? Are you still building or is it finished ? Woody

Sikaflex I have some of that and you are right that is awesome stuff and very flexible so it should last pretty well! Newguy will have a look at the eavestrough! Woody

Cheers KHB that is the other option hey .............Are you pitching this morning ??

Andrew I am in the Process of making a Herms and the bottom is where I would like to put the element but that was exactly my concern, should it leak! Why is it the most logical and practical solution always has a downside! Interested to hear what people have done to reassure themsleves against...

So is this an option if you say boiled the water made an allowance of 2 litres less.. Chilled to say 30 through the plate chiller I wonder how much 2 litres of ice would reduce 23 litres of Wort! Would this create other issues of contamination if you boiled the water prior to freezing ...

Cheers , Will be headed to Bunnings tomorrow for copper for an Immmersion Chiller and a Herms,. .

you are right Glaab it is only summer we have the issue. Interesting to see how you go with your setup ...let me know how you go . Smurto you are not far from me and obviously have the same issue and do wjhat I have been doing leaving in the fermentation fridge to get down the last few degrees...

Just a question ... are you allowing for the increased temperature of your Wort when you are taking your pre boil temp. If I put 1029 into Beersmith @ 30 degrees it equates to 1033. the increased temp goives you a higher reading when you could be spot on your estimate @1029. Just a thought !!! .

This is interesting, it would be good to see just what most of the brewers that are chilling are doing , and what temps they are pitching....I though the only option was to get down to temp to pitch but obviously people are pitching high... Then others like Skrewy go to a lot of effort to get...

I do attemperate my yeast I just thought it was better to start with Lquid at your fermentation temperature. Naturally I want to getmy Wort down further anyway but handy to know. The whole No Chill Vs Chill is like Fords and Holdens. I have only been doing AG for a short time and must say sit...

Thats a good idea looks like 2 projects now Herms and an immersion chiller. Now I need to take some time off work to add to the Brewery.

Interesting K Iwas of the opinion 32 would shock the yeast!!! So you are saying better at 32 than what I am doing............. are there any negatives pitching at such a high temp then winding back to 19.
