    Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

    My rant for the day, Got home and a letter from my Telco/internet provider states they have decided to start donating my money (this is an additional billable amount) to charities, unless I opt out. Good one Commander, I though I was paying a premium for a decent Telco. For the record I do pay...

    QldKev's New Biab With Internal Rims

    I think there are several things going on when we mash in. The less viscous starch chains, the swelling of the grains as they take on water, and as the grain bed settles into a grain bed that allows water/wort flow through out of it to act as a filter bed to clarify the wort and not getting...

    QldKev's New Biab With Internal Rims

    I think the major issue is trying to recirc too fast too early. You really need to set the grain bed slowly and increase the flow as the bed stabilises. Most brewers are running the Kaixin mp-15, I'm running the mp-20 (biggger pump) and can flow very fast once the bed is stabilised correctly.

    A Beer Accompaniment

    I've been doing it for many years and nearly always a batch on hand, no food poisoning. I have had to throw a couple of batches away. Back when I was using some of the commercial sauces and the non-heat dryer I got mold on 2 the batches. I'm guessing a combination of the sauces having a...

    Fridge or Freezer damage from external Thermostat, Heating & Cooli

    I'd be checking things out. My old Kelvinator is still running from 2006 on this bulk buy for controllers. I would try and bypass the controller and see what the fridge does, I'm guess 14c sounds more like a defrost timer or defrost thermostat on the fridge itself

    QldKev's 3V up for grabs

    Thanks, a few beers to decide to part with her and many in the build. It's a system I constantly hit 85% pre-boil eff. I should try and do a spreadsheet of the cost, but in the control panel there is $1K alone. I didn;t want cheap ebay type RCDs to protect me.

    Sodium percarbonate

    I thought in the coffee world (Breville, The Oracle user) the main active cleaner as Sodium carbonate, then Sodium percarbonate later. But I guess any cleaning is better than no cleaning. You should be able to get cafetto s15 pretty cheap. Read this for a decent spread of active ingredients, a...

    Little Creatures Dog Days Is Back!

    Had a taste of this tonight. Mild malt backbone, then the hops kicks in. Reminds me of what SNPA was a few years back. Only diff in this one I get a hit of Citra, followed by a huge hit of Hallatau/Hersbrucker or is it Mt Hood? Overall a great drop, pity it is dropped to 4.4% to save alco tax.
