    No Rinse Sterilizer = Sodium Percarbonate, Napisan = Sodium Percarbona

    Yeah I'll keep using it. It's just on a year old, still works great. I do just get a kg at a time and try and keep the sack sealed in a bin. I've been using it strong as when you got a full sack for 50 bucks might as well go hard....

    Water additions are calculated for 23 ltrs. ph is basically the same as when using 15 ltrs and 4.5 kgs. Well at least on my test strips. It basically a high grav brew, the g/f was designed to carry upto 9 kgs for big beers anyway, so for standard grav, we basically just water it down at the end...

    Dedicated Grainfather Guide, Problems and Solutions Thread

    It's on limits, but I've done over 60 of these to date and works a treat. Worst outcome was when I had a poor ebay crusher, averaged 1043-1044 per 44 ltrs after dilution . Sparging was a ***** especially with rye or heaps of wheat, local brewshops crushed grain including some from site sponsors...

    Look up my posts on double batches in GF. I do these all the time to get 2 cubes at around 1048-1050 beers. Works a treat. Sorry I can't provide a link, I'm on iPad , but someone else may point you in the right direction. I did a big write up on the steps. Cheers

    Beer filter storage

    I wonder if it's bad for carbon ones? I shake out all excess, then freeze. Then thaw it out in fridge day before brew day. Have to do this with caravan one, as in between trips they get funky and cause people to get bad stomachs if drinking from them on next trip. Cartridges are too expensive...

    Beer filter storage

    Possibly, I've only been freezing my carbon brewing water filter like we do with the caravan ones in between trips it's a common practice with caravan filters which I've done for years. No issues with it . For the craftbrewer beer filter, I haven't tried freezing it as I clean it and leave it...

    Fridge Drilling

    Yep, no coolant lines in side walls of "all"fridges, but some models do have condensing discharge lines in side walls, especially up right freezers and chest freezers. I've helped set up a few mates setups and haven't hit a line yet, but there's always a small chance of a door switch or some...

    Fridge Drilling

    When feeling for the warmth, best if not experienced, is to run fridge at load, and cool your hand in a bucket of water then run around the outer skin, you deff will feel heat if the fridge has been running for 10 mins or so. This will give you an idea for the general area for doing exploratory...

    Fridge Drilling

    Evaporator cooling pipes will be in the rear of an all fridge setup, In chest freezer they are in the internal side and rear walls so misting works there . Some all fridges run discharge condensing pipes in the side walls but most are in the back, feel for the heat then do small exploratory...

    Fridge Drilling

    If it's got condenser coils up the back side then there will be no condenser gas lines in the side but some models have cables etc running inside the wall. If there's no condenser on the back, run fridge up with load on it, ie door open and run your hand around the outer skin and feel for...
