from a 2 second google looks like this is the wheat: http://bakerseedco.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Elmore-CL-Plus-FS.pdf before I start planning to malt this, is it appropriate for brewing?

thanks MHB. Here's a pic of the Scope, I crushed a little of it - it's look errr, like malted grain to my untrained eye. Does this it still need malting?! I'm pretty confident the wheat still requires malting however (the upclose in the first post)

hey fellas, scored from malt barley and wheat from a mates farm and was wondering if they're good to use, and if there's anything I should be aware of. I'm pretty sure the wheat needs to be malted (steeped/drained/rolled). can anyone confirm the specs for the grain make it suitable for...

got some grain, can I use it for beer?

I used mine last night to pasturise the gelatin for the first time! just boiled up some water and span it around for a while to help, errr...reduce thermofoodgrime, dumped it out and set it to 70c/80c for 15 mins with my gelatine. seemed to work. keg gelatined so I am going to give it a pour...

yeah, interesting bits of kit. I check these out in person while getting another pot, thread here http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/93659-multi-purpose-50l-ss-heat-preserving-pail-uses/ and there's other pics in my gallery of it.

ha ha, thanks mate - hopefully see you at the next club meet! got 40L chlling and 40L fermenting at the moment so yeah, looking forward to sipping regularily! HB Matho, your great work is a key part of my new system so thankyou!

I almost pulled a hammy out there a few weeks ago! oh yeah, and myself, constantly, in the shed. No rules in the shed so it's cool.

Good thinking, next time I might just punch out big *** holes in the pot and use the brau mesh over the top - for $35 it's barely worth doing a DIY hack job that won't have the finish or the finesse, keep the integrity of the pot, reduce burrs and should make cleaning easier. seems easier than...

here's how little flow I got over the grainbed, and this was with only 10kg of grain in a 38L pot in 61L of wort! After mash in I let it settle for at least 10 mins before turning the pump on verrry gradually. It would channel more at a lower flow rate: So upping it kinda worked out better...

good to know, where should these fans be mounted on the unit?

very tempting. it would change the way I'd have drilled out the bottom of the pot :( I'm also having trouble with getting enough wort above the grainbed, as the 38L pot is taller than wider and isn't a great match for a 100L pot. Will remove some of the clearance I have between the elements and...

the mistake I made with my slots in the grain basket is that are they are too long and due to the thin base being so flimsy, they make quite a gap. Next time I'd make them half to a third as long.

I've got 2 x 4500w camco elements in my 100L pot. Ramps at 1 deg every 30 seconds running them at 80% with about 80L - I like alot! Did notice the unit gets a bit warm, are fans mandatory running this much power?
