So, thanks MastersBrewery, the pipe works perfectly, I was completely out with my estimation of how tall out kettle was as well! Considering running the whirlpool without the hop blocker as that's the only thing stopping flow now and I have a feeling it's disrupting the whirlpool?

I think that a ramp from protein to alpha over 90 min would not give you enough "optimum" enzyme activity time, as mentioned earlier in the thread the temp, time at that temp, ph, and mash thickness all contribute to how well they convert the starches into sugars, German brewers have been...

btw, that's a very tidy kettle you have there, what system are you running?

Good to know about the upwards angle brig beneficial, I'll take that into account for the first brew... from what I remember I think having a wider whirlpool tank is better and have the inlet a 1/3 from the bottom is also good, possibly as if you are using a separate tank you would want to...

Protein rest at 50-52˚C is fine. Alpha can probably go up to 72˚C before denaturing. Beta has a pretty wide range as well from below 60˚C up to the mid to high 60's which is why the mid 60's is a good zone to achieve a combined conversion. If you're step mashing remember that the step time...

Thanks Fat *******! Totally agree. The photo was just one I found on the internet to best describe the idea I wanted to replicate. You're totally right that the inlet should be roughly a 1/3 from the bottom and ideally at a 30˚ tangent to the kettle wall. I'll post photos once mine is up and...

Will do mate. Hopefully will get it done this weekend ready to brew on Sunday. Hope you like smokey beers as that's what will be the first brew to be done with the new attachment! Photos will follow soon. Thanks again!

that could be perfect, had to look up annealed! is that better for bending? I'll be at the ISB meeting so that would be perfect, can chat and organise it then...

yeah, a 30° angle is ideal if coming in from the side though with a drop down pipe I might have to use a bit of guess work for the angle, going off different batch size it's tricky for the height as well, would love to have it adjustable, or have different lengths on hand... thanks for the idea...

Hi, I'm trying to build a return pipe out of stainless steel that will allow me to recirculate the wort through a pump to do my whirlpool. I'm running a 90˚ elbow at the top of a 20G Blichmann G2 kettle so will need a decent length of mandrel bent 1/2" SS tubing but am having no luck finding...

Hi mate, are the pumps still for sale?

Hey, just wondering if the chillers are still for sale? Cheers, Dan

Hey, I've got a greenlea 22mm conduit hole punch you can borrow if you're in Sydney, perhaps for a couple of Homebrew? After seeing how effortlessly you can make a perfect hole I'd never use anything else...

Fair call! Selling for $150. Thanks...

I'm selling my 19L Rubbermaid cooler mash/lauter tun complete with false bottom and 1/2" ball valve SS tap. Purchased from G&G maybe a year ago. Used for 5 brews. Have moved houses to am reverting to BIAB due to space. Located in Elwood, VIC. PM me or sms me on 0403223622. Cheers, Dan

Hi, I'm parting ways with my rubbermaid cooler mash/lauter tun. Have used it only 4 times for batch sparging. Works a treat though I'm in the process of trimming all my belongings and this must go. Included is the...19L Rubbermaid cooler, 9" False bottom, 1/2" ball lock tap, hose. Needs a...

not beer related, there's a brand new charcoal BBQ, a smoker (both could be used for beer somehow...), and just a bit of crap, bottles are the main bit...

Hey, I've moved out and have left all my empties on the front porch area. All different sizes including some really cool Italian Na Birretta bottles that are quite medicinal looking. Help yourselves. Lots of other stuff for free on the porch as well. Cheers, Frothy

Sorry everyone, they have already been snapped up. Thanks for the interest. Frothy...

Hey, I've got various cubes and fermenters that I need to get rid of. Nothing wrong with them. I'm moving and don't have room for them all. Need to be collected by end of 22nd December, this Sunday, from Elwood. There are a couple of taps and airlocks included as well. One of them has a temp...
