Haha, thanks guys. I'm over extended as it is. I'm not giving everything up! Just unfortunately decided to prioritise other things over brewing. Tough decision but something had give! So yeah if you know anyone looking to get in put the hard word on them and help me move on! Looking at the...

my mate just pointed out that as I have about 5 batches worth of grain there is probably about $500 worth of beer to be brewed in there... *******! But yeah, one to be considered when buying it too!

$1100 - Thornbury Regretful sale, I have my first kid on the way and something's got to give... unfortunately for me it's going to be my homebrew set up. 😥 I'll be gruff just for a moment. As the sale hurts, and the price fair (at least I think it is!), the price isn't negotiable... So I'll...

I might have to give this method a go. I tried drying my first batch in the oven a few weeks back. Spread a layer on baking paper and had the oven on low for a couple of hours. Then froze the result. I threw this in a starter over the weekend and had nothing after near 2 days of waiting. I...

Legend, cheers Mark

Cheers Mark, I appreciate the engagement. Yep it was one tea spoon of the CaSO4. And no real blockage. It was a little slow in the recirculation but nothing out of the ordinary. I got a really good extraction (this I'm still working on but since I started the step mash, where I used to get...

Thanks Mark, Firstly my apologies, it was calcium sulphate, not carbonate I used. What're these stage things with too much k meta!? Any resources you can recommend in regards to chem additions and their timing? It was 70% pale ale malt and 30 wheat. I added all the chems about 2 hours...

It's all through the mash too

Kinda, more matty though. Yeah have been playing with chemistry. I usually add a tsp calcium carbonate and yeast nutrient. But also added a 1/4 tsp of k meta this time

Found it on the top of my mash when removed, it was like a thin blanket on mash out then broke up when sparging

Nice one, thanks for the input crusty!

Inclined to agree with you there, beersmith is not user friendly at all, bloody horrible. Crusty, what are you getting from beersmith and Beertools Pro that makes them so preferable to Brewfather!?

Haha, sorry Ballaratguy, I'm inclined to agree with Grmblz! I set my guten up right beside the kitchen sink and I've used those hose fittings to make my life easier!

Cheers crusty! You put Beertools Pro up against Brewfather?

and plus one to this. Don't bother going the harder road to save a couple of bucks. You'll end up paying it anyway. Get a good setup, and keep looking for ways to streamline and you'll thank yourself everytime
