    Postboil Gravity vs Starting Gravity

    I think it's referred to as stratification where the liquid is not mixed and differing readings can occur. At the end of the day your BG might have been affected by the above and even your FG if the wort was not mixed up properly, so it could be a bit of both. If it was me I would think the...

    The effect of ramp/soak times on efficiency

    your mash times should exclude any ramp times as Mark says, if you're nuking your wort via the hex for fast ramp times that could be the problem, I have 4v also but ramp at 1dC per 1.5 minutes for a maxed out (volume) batch I think Yob mentioned that at one stage he was starting his mash at...

    first time using riwaka

    Man I love Riwaka, it's my fav hop at the moment. I've been using 100gms of Riwaka flowers keg hopped in 20ltr so 5g/l and it is amazing! This is after a big WP addition obtaining the total IBU - for me usually somewhere around the abv x 10 so a 4.5% beer would be 45ibu of other IPA / PA hops...

    Fermenting Under Pressure

    1.040OG ? it could be done, what's your expected FG? 15PSI is no problem, I brew all mine at 15PSI and once the pressure drops it's done. 1.040 is around the gravity you might use for a yeast starter and with the right amount of yeast 40hours, especially under pressure could be enough. If you...

    $1500 to spend, what should I buy?

    If you are unsure there a few things worth thinking about: How much storage space will there be for conditioning What sort of turn-around time is ideal, from brewday to chuggalug day - kegging makes this quicker as does pressure fermenting How often can you brew How much brew-space do you have...

    3 vessel build advice needed

    I have a 76ltr mash tun and regularly make 80ltrs finished, albeit *under 5%abv. I also have a keg set-up for smaller batches but have never tried to get more than 44ltrs finished. I'd say it's possible and if you can afford to try it then have a go, otherwise if you're thinking one try, one...

    Sealing electric heating elements

    ^there we go, I think the stainless port is where the cable would come out and you would separate the plate from the cylinder and drill a suitable sized hole for your element, feed the wire through the outlet port and re-cap the box. Def need flex (you can get grey as well) For the price of...
