No protein rest because I did it once and it caused problems with my urn cutting out due to excess gunk build up on the element. Other than that, my boil is good and I get no difference no chilling or using an immersion chiller.

I've only done 1 porter and it was pretty nice about a month after bottling, but I just drank the last one yesterday after 4 months and it was bloody amazing. The flavours had mellowed and it was such an easy drinker.So much depth to the flavour with coffee, chocolate etc.

I agree. I've cold crashed at -1 to -2 for several days and chill haze is still very much there. Since I'm now an expert on gelatine having used it once, I can say that gelatine after 24 hours was freakn amazing! After 2 or 3 days, almost crystal clear in an IPA.

What do you want it for? Just to see what you go at a party? If you're looking at one to see if you're good to drive, I'd say don't bother. If you have to ask yourself the question, you're probably not good to drive. If you want to drive, dont drink. Try and count drinks and you'll end up with a...

Ha!! I'll let her know!

Lol its a 'Ritzenhoff' glass. Some artistic thing by an Israeli artist... my mum gave it to me!

Robust porter. The last one after about 6 months in the bottle and its awesome! What better for a sunday arvo?

I just gelatined my first brew, following the thread with about 1 teaspoon in 200ml water brought to 75 degrees. Holy Crap, the difference it made!! I added it to a keg of IPA and after 24 hours poured off the first 500ml of so which was pretty cloudy. But after that, its amazing! Not quite...

Is this the Beer Can brand ones from ATHB?

It's 2.2 LITRES... the bottle I have is 2.6Kg. I think theres a big difference in the amount of gas you actually get.

Im in! Cheers!

I just dropped my kids off at school in full Elsa and pirate regalia... minus a sword becuse his light sabre wasnt authentic to the costume... but his teacher saw him without a sword so gave him one she'd brought along!!

I just had a look too. On the computer version, its in the equipment profile section but its not included in the mobile version by the looks of it...

Day before, I fill urn with water and set timer for about 6am. Get out grains and water additions ready. Brew day, I wake up, adjust strike water temp. Add water additions, Mill grains and mash in. Have brekky and get the kids sorted while its mashing. The normal brew day follows and Im usually...

Haha fair enough! I was thinking it was a good friday night for you!

Are these all tonight Brock??

I agree! I miss the ability to sort by brewing type like all grain, extract etc.

From your original question, I use the same setup and it looks like your grain amount is way too low. My Smurto's Golden Ale recipe uses 6.05kg all up. I BIAB and mash in with 36L water which after squeezing the heck out of the bag, gives me about 34.5L pre boil, and 30L post boil. I can then...

I got this one not long ago.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/252780282700 The 7.8m 1/2" stainless. Works really well for me and was about $75 delivered.

Looks like a 2V BIAB system to me with the smaller vessel a HLT and the larger one acting as mash tun and boil kettle. Id guess the arm over the top is to hoist the bag. That would make sense regarding the chiller cut out. It looks like a false bottom wit the little holes in it in the kettle to...
