Thanks Fents , I save and re-use the water as we are no better off in S.A .. I Even considered running 2 plate chillers in tandem to speed things up . Heaps of copper is probably a better option .

Looks the goods ...Top Effort MXD! Isn't this Brewing Addictive... Everyone seems to be getting into AG Woody

Bribie wouldn't it be easier to just get the lsat few degree down in the fermenter or are there other benefits.... Wpouldn't I have to recalc all my recipes to No Chill.... Never done it !

Hi Bowie , what was your Wort temp when you pitched I wouldn't have thought that would have been the issue. I usually pitch @ 19 with 04 or o5 andits usually going nuts by morning 10-12 hours. May have just been some shitty yeast Only thing i make sure of is the yeast is the same temp as the...

Screwy your water must be around 22 degrees ! I though I had issues with my plate chiller and was throttling back the flow of my Wort and it was no better until I measured the temperature of my tap water. I had no idea it was that hot....... Bloody Adelaide Summers! No matter waht I do I can't...

Cheers Dave I am pulling it down the last few degrees in the fermenting fridge! Is this the best every one gets and is there an issue with it taking another 4-5 hours down to pitching from 31. I was considering recirculating back to my kettle to say 40 degrees chilling down 60 litres of water...

Just finished an Australian Pale Ale, Hit all my temps and went really well. The only issue I have is I can only chill down to 31.5 degrees through My plate chiller. I checked the temp of my water today and it is 31 degrees out of the tap. I guess I need to look down the chilled water path ...

Just use a couple of John Guest Fittings into a $15 filter and straight in. No messing around and filters all the nasties. I just plug my Brewery in with a food grade hose and have the filter fitted to the brewery unlimited filtered water. Woody

Correct QLDKev, I do not believe the G& G does this and le's face it it will make your Fridge /Freezer last longer.

I don't agree with this but each to their own and you can adjust a digital version to calibrate. As Matt stated the primary function is for fermentation I would go Tempmate and you do not get anywhere near that variation from my experience. Matt I know it seems daunting but there would be...

Matt I have a fridgemate and tempmate. My advice would be if you love your brewing and see it as an ongoing hobby spend the money and get a tempmate even if you have to pay someone to set it up for you and I would say it would cost much more than what you are looking at . I am sure there would...

I am with you Pumpy I feel like a dummy just looking at the pictures !!! Bloody awesome!

The only thing I would say Crusty is when i looked into getting my system it was important to me to still be able to brew a single batch to perfect my brewing styles. for that reason I went with the 50Litre Tun and 70 litre kettle. I would say with that setup from my little experience you would...

Thanks Sav , So you basically only use the Herms to get to temp from protein rest o Mash Temp! So you don't continue to recirculate through the mash... HLT is getting Sparge water ready and then you use the HE to get to Mash out then Sparge.

Screwy is this what you have that gets you to Mash temp in 15 min? How fast are you recirculating ? e.g 1/2 or full open on the Ball Valve Woody

Can anyone help with whether I should go 3 Phase.??

Thats my dilema Screwy! I thought that I would stay with what I have and move on to Herms next But the more I read about Herms setups the more I get confused about the best way to go! So due to not knowing the best way to go with Herms neither I thought I would post this and look to the best...

Thanks Raven , I am going to have to address the power issue anyway once I go Herms,. Just want to know the best way to go about it and any drawbacks if any. Then would probably sell the keggle.

Guys I am looking for some opinions ans direction on the best way forward on a HLT and Power supply. I currently have a Keggle with a 2000W element but want to increase my heated water supply to a 70 litre vessel.Stainless Steel. I would like to know eithe 2x 2400W or 1x 3600W and what sort of...

So be patient hey !!!! I am adding criander and orange peel to the boil with Hallertauer and Hersbrucker ..... The smells .................I am in love ... Thanks guys!
