I reckon if you can tell the difference (without making 2 otherwise identical beers at the same time and tasting them side by side), then you've got a bloody amazing palate

Yeah I reckon that would just about make the seal perfect. I'd probably still use the steel mesh as well.

Hahaha uh oh.... My cleaning routine is running mains water through it backwards straight after a brew... then run starsan through it and let it soak for a minute or two... then rinse it out. That's it. Haven't had any problems yet (that I'm aware of) but reading all of your posts I'm going to...

I have a really similar problem - just yesterday I brewed a lager, ran it through my plate chiller and got it down to about 21 degrees (which I was actually pretty happy with all things considered) but then I had to put the whole fermenter in the fridge for about 6 hours to get it down to 10...

Perth - so I think I'm probably about as close to sea-level as you can get :(

Maiden brew complete - and I have to agree - a rubber seal on the top filter plate is unneccesary. I got absolutely minimal stray grains, definitely no whole grains just a few bits and pieces that was not really eny different to what used to find it;s way through my BIAB bag. On a side note -...

Just what I was hoping to hear! When I was looking at the gap the reflection was breaking my mind. Reckon I'll give it a go with no seal and see how it turns out. Assuming a few grains get out - should I be taking the filter apart and cleaning it out after a brew? My Braumeister is the first...

I've just bought a Braumeister and will be doing her maiden brew this weekend. I've done a water-only run to get the hang of it but that;s it. After reading the latter pages of this thread I'm paranoid about grain getting past the top filter - I can see there is a gap between the edge of the...

So I still haven't had much luck. I got a new gas bottle (as the last one was empty) and as at the same time I replaced the line from the regulator to the first splitter/join... but still when I unplug all the gas disconnects from the kegs and turn off the gas at the bottle (but with pressure...

Haha you guys make it sound so easy - I didn't even know what a terminal block is, or what type of wires to buy, or how to cut them, or how to be confident that I'm not doing a crap job that will result in fire or electrocution!

Yeah as a bloke without a DIY bone in my body (okay a few small DIY bones) I really wish that there was either a temp controller that didn't require wiring or a retailer who does the wiring for you and sells it as fully functional unit. I'd pay!!! But nobody does it and I don't know any sparkys...

Sweet thanks for the tips, I'll give them a go over the next few days (or at least once I get a new bottle of gas :(). As a progress update about 4 hours ago I tried my original test again - I disconnected all the kegs, then turned off the gas at the bottle, leaving the reg setting on 12 psi...

Is the "gas tank valve" the knob on top of the tank that you turn on or off? If so, yeah I gave it a good spray with bubbly starsan and didn't notice anything. Also, my system is definitely leaking when everything is on and connected. I lost most of of my tank over a month or so (I leave my gas...

Hi all, I've been trying to troubleshoot a gas leak somewhere in my system, and after reading some of the other threads on here and youtube videos, I'm stil a little stuck, and I think it's because I don't properly understand what my regularot is telling me. Last night I disconnected all my...

Hi all, My missus is getting right into her breadmaking & soudough etc and has just bought a heap of crazy grains which I reckon I can use in brewing... but some of them I'm not sure what to do with them - can you just mash them like normal? Do you need to do some kind of special mash? Do you...

I might be keen! Keep us informed - I'll have a brown porter ready in about 2 weeks so if I bottles some it should line up nicely

In a concealed element urn the wort does not come into contact with the element directly. The element sits just under the bottom of the urn and the heat is transferred through a section of the metal floor of the urn - so while you can't get crud burnt into the actual element, it can get burnt...

I've done 2 or 3 brews since that disaster and am positive that the ash flavour came from the weirdly excessive burnt matter that collected on my element. It seriously took me hours of scriubbing and soaking and scruibbing and soaking to get it off - I've never had anything like it. The next...
