Ok, so getting back on track I’m assuming it’s ok to squeeze the grain bed after sparge to get the excess fluid out ?

To squeeze the grain I push the top perforated plate of the malt pipe down to compress the grain and squeeze excess fluid out.

Hi people, Quick question about sparging, I am brewing with a grainfather and am wondering whether I should be squeezing the grain bed after the sparge water has finished dripping through or not. Have googled the question and most responses I have found relate to biab. Have heard that by...

Hi guys, Only been brewing all grain for a short period of just under a year and want to dabble with a bit of water chemistry but am somewhat frazzled at all the calculators and bits. My plan is to use rainwater and start simple by doing what is described in the attached screenshot I got from a...

Hey hop it, I’ll take the crown seals off your hands as well when I pick up the hops tomorrow if they are still avail, also maybe keen on a keg but will chat to you about that when I see you. Cheers Mark

Gotta say after reading the for’s as opposed to the against’s and the cost of running a 12v fan (basically zero) why wouldn’t you run it 24/7 ? Gotta be better to have consistent temp in your fridge !

Oxbars you tube video suggests that when dry hopping with the collection bottle to purge it with co2 before screwing it back on to the fermenter, not sure it would get rid of all the o2 but can’t hurt.

Thanks for your input guys, much appreciated :-)

Hey people, Just about to put a fan from a pc tower in my fermenting fridge, my question is do I have the fan running all the time or connect it to just run when the heat/cooling kicks in ? Cheers in advance, Mark.

Pick me ! :-)

Thanks gloveski

Cheers for the info, I also have a grainfather so will give that a go, I take it you leave the hops in for the boil ?

Cheers for that, so does that mean at start of boil ?

Looks nice, what does FWH stand for in the hop editions ?

An upright freezer only works a treat.

I spoke with graham 1 1/2 weeks ago by phone but I have heard they can be hard to get hold of, I know graham works fifo but usually get replies to emails.

Thanks for your comments guys, will give it a crack at the sub 5-6psi and ramp up to carbonation pressures late in the fermentation and see what happens for me. Cheers Mark
