    Robobrew blue screen of death

    The previous poster was right, you can expect more than a year of use for a ~$400 odd electrical appliance that isn’t used often. Bring that to Keg Kings attention or else give Kegland a call and see if they can sort you out with a new board

    Anyone tried the Grainfather app recipes?

    There’s quite a few good looking recipes on the Grainfather app, has anyone tried any of them? The water volumes are obviously tapered to the GF but easily adaptable of course. Thinking my next batch this weekend will be the ‘lone galaxy pale ale’ (pictured). Seems like it might be a little...

    Aldi Fridge / Freezer

    Shame it’s not a few litres bigger, you could probably have fitted 6 kegs in there then without the awkward arrangement

    Robobrew V3 vs Guten

    People seem to be dismissing the overflow pipe and forgetting what it is intended for: a security measure. It ensures that if your mash happens to get ‘stuck’ and the wort no longer drains through the grain, that the wort being pumped into the top of the mash has somewhere to go and your element...

    O2 Bottles

    Tradeflames are not the same threading as bernzomatic/hot devil. Vastly different!

    Temperature and Fermentation control using Tilt Hydrometer??

    Valid points! For me, I’m getting a digital hydrometer to closely monitor and log my sg, and more importantly my temperature, for review of my processes and recipes/yeast after, not just to know when fermentation’s done. Knowing constantly what your SG is at also allows you to accurately make...

    GUTEN

    Thought: purchased a 50cm one of these as a possible recirculation arm improvement for only $5.50 off eBay Flexible but seems rigid and is all stainless. I’ll slap on a camlock on one end, saw off the other end and report back how it works in due time! Might even double as an effective whirlpool...

    Storing stainless air stone in ethanol?

    Couldn’t find any definitive word on this so thought I’d pitch it to you guys: would storing a stainless steel sintered oxygenation 0.5micron stone in 90% ethanol be a viable way to store it? Trying to save myself the effort of boiling before use every single brew and instead just putting the...

    GUTEN

    If you join the Guten Facebook group I’ve chucked up one in the file section there for the 40L unit off my calculations and measurements. Not guaranteeing it’s perfection but a solid foundation

    Robobrew V3 vs Guten

    Appreciate the concern my friend but rest easy, I was running the pump full bore because the grain bed was more than happy draining every bit of it, the fluid level in my overflow pipe never dropped below the mash level, hence why I’m so stoked! As for the green garden hose, that touches the...

    Robobrew V3 vs Guten

    Could you please link me said inlet filter please WEAL? Had a brew today and had a MUCH better experience than with the RB. Ran the pump wide open throughout the mash and it drained every bit of it. I did use 250g rice hulls though. Also just attached the included silicone elbow to get it...

    Robobrew V3 vs Guten

    If you were packing it away long term it would be handy. In my experience with the RB, it seems it will be most useful when cleaning the vessel keep g the cable out of the way. It is a tight fit but the cable has a rubberised feel to it and is adequately flexible. Other stuff will likely fail...

    Robobrew V3 vs Guten

    Hey guys, thought I’d chuck my preliminary thoughts up after just picking up my new 40L guten after selling my Robobrew v3. Why I upgraded: bigger capacity (+5L), better circuit components and reliability, wider and less tall( better recirculation and boiloff), build quality, introductory price...
