the idea is to control hop contact time in the wort with no O2 ingress. with certain ferments, I find sometimes it takes multiple extra days to pass the diactyl test, and I want to ensure I can control hop contact time and mean you can experiment with early ferment VS late ferment dry hopping.

what kind of metal disc? none of my stainless washers (316) would work.

yep that's the link! I think it's a great mod, I only use it for dumping yeast and it's a bit questionable about reusing the yeast, it does get a bit errr....squirty.... but I haven't spent any time trying to solve that problem yet. I used QD fittings, so a collection bottle with a QD fitting...

thanks for the info, have ordered these teflon coated discs - https://magnet.com.au/neodymium-disc-25mm-x-2mm-teflon-coated.html. will keep the existing ones out of the wort!

So I got these, https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-12mm-rare-earth-disc-magnet-6-pack_p3690099 but see in other threads it's recommeded ones with teflon, like stirbars. what's the issue with Neodymium ones, corrosion? as I will have up to 150g of hops in a bag, I'll probably go with...

being able to ferment from a chest freezer was also something that's not really been too easy, that was one of the reasons I ordered a couple! plus, xmas, spunding valve, whatever else I need to convince myself that I need this.

thanks fellas, yeah, gotta be imperial! Just slighlty annoying as it's a KK mill, and there's no unit marking :/

been struggling with efficiency, then I borrowed a 20L brau, and payed a bit more attention to my milling. I've got a 2 roller KK Malt Muncher with a ozito drill running it slow. Following the Brau instructions noticed having it set to 0.100 (I assume is 1mm) was doing basically nothing! lots...

has anyone got some of the power sockets I can buy? I'd take 1 but would have 2 if you've got them. I can find them on ebay ( https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CNLINKO-3-Pin-Connector-Plug-Socket-Waterproof-IP67-Compatible-w-Neutrik-M24/122544821030 ) , but to get one posted quickly it's gonna cost...

one of those stainless QDs with a 90 deg thread would give u a bit more room too. I put some beer line between the QD and the valve

blue wire from the power input, got a sparky mate who will look into this for me, hopefully the rest of the unit is still OK.

after 50+ brews with my trusty Brauduino, was doing a test run with my new Coolossus counterflow chiller and some PBW ramping to 80c and looked around and instead of seeing a blue backlight I saw an orange flame! shiiiiiite! switched off the 2 x 20amp plugs. Checked the temp of the top of the...

you lived a happy life

ah, so now I see the benefit of reusing for cleaning/garden! Storing it for the next brew at ambient summer temps won't really work out so well! this helps alot as I'll position the barrel in a different part of the yard, cheers!

this could be your new favorite polish stoner doom band, huge sound!

just got myself one of the kegland counterflow chillers (coolossus) and would like to store/reuse the water. I've got a system that can crank out 65L of wort, how much water do I need for chilling down to around 18c? I've got 3 x 220L olive barrels I can put taps on - just wondering how many...

changed over to a QD fitting, no more explosive moments around the shed!
