Yeah i think I'm going to do that as well. I'm wanting to do 100gm though. Do you think that would work?

Hey Yuz, did you dry hop using the bottle? If so how much did you get in there?

Yeah I wasn't keen to get involved with pressure and gas etc. It's just another thing for me to f*ck up. I do enough of that without having to worry about something else!! Everyone seems to love the pressure kits though.

I don't have the pressure kit so not doing it under pressure.

I've gone ahead and added the racking arm. Seems like it will work pretty well

Has anybody actually used the racking arm? I've just ordered mine and wondering if there is any feedback or tips on using it?

Yeah that could be a good option for people

Wondering if there would be any interest in being able to buy a 'brewing salts package'. You would choose your style of beer and the package would include all the necessary salts to treat a 23 litre batch for that style (using RO water). So you would buy a Stout package or an IPA package and it...

Well that's a shame. I thought because it was 12v, I could just wire it up to an old 12v power plug and away I went. So the only way to really get more power is to run a second power point that is on a different circuit - is that right? This has gone way over my head! Running 2 elements draws...

On second thoughts, I think I will add the extra element. I'd prefer a more vigorous boil and also the time it takes to heat up will be lessened, as it took quite a while to reach boiling. But can it be run from the same circuit as main element and pump?

Sounds like a much better solution! My previous setup had a crazy boil so I was sort of disappointed not seeing it with this one.

So my new 50L kettle was struggling to boil 35L using the Keg King 2200w element. It was boiling but it certainly wasn't a rolling boil and I ended up missing my OG by about 4 points. I don't want to add another big element that would require using a different power point. But I've found a 12v...

Cable gland. Got it, cheers.

@Ducatiboy stu - yes the terminal block will be mounted to the case and what do you mean by "fix this bit" in the first image? Make sure it is secure?

Haha, thought that might be the response. The sparky will be checking it over

I'm building a mash temp controller using a RaspberryPi and Craftbeerpi and just wanting to make sure this 240v wiring is 110% correct. I will be getting my sparky neighbour to check it over once it is done but just wanting to try to get it right before i take it round to him. It will be...

Hey Michael, How did this end up? I loved this beer and looking to do one of my own. Any tips?

Thanks spog, all sound like very good points. One question with the mesh and to stop grains escaping around the edges - I had figured that the weight of the grains would hold the mesh down and everything would eventually settle so there'd be no chance of grains escaping. I'm recirculating back...

I'm building a basket out of a bigw pot and wondering if this setup will work. It should hold about 5kg of grain. Do I have enough holes in the pot and will the mesh I'm using be too fine? The mesh is just a cheap splatter guard, which is finer than a normal kitchen sieve. Thoughts?
