I'm currently not an owner but am following following the thread closely as I'm having a serious look into purchasing one of these systems, hope this is not considered kijacking but I believe it's a relevant question...... what's the quality of the beer these systems are producing? Do they all...

I don't know how big my current element is at the moment mate I'm gonna have my sparky mate take a look but it doesn't seem to boil very hard it hovers at 101c on my temp gauge so as soon as I get a decent gust of wind it drops to 99 and I loose my boil, I'm gonna try some more robust insulation...

I'll have to talk to my sparky mate for the technical stuff you just talked about( I'm just a dopy boilermaker) but I get the general gist of what your talking about

Looks like i need to upgrade to 15 amp then I'd say

Cheers mate I didn't take that into account!

Hahaha true didn't even notice... poped up In my notices for reason! I'll have to pay closer attention to dates in the future [emoji16]

Just tell the missus straight yea love ya welcome to come with me just be warned I'm gonna be off mingling with me brewer mates and their is a bloody good chance your going to be bored senceless! And if she still decides to come well then it's on her when she gets bored, as soon as I start...

Has anyone got experience with using a .5 carb stone to carbonate their kegged beer? Ordered a 2 stone's the other day a 0.5 stone for carbing kegges and a 2.00 for wort aeration for healthy fermentation.. i know the aeration stone wasn't a waste of money as it comes in an 02 kit bit the carb...

Hey lads I'm seriously thinking of doing a heating element upgrade on my 35L BIAB system (NANO electric brew kettle) the current heating element doesn't seam to have enough juice to get a good solid rolling boil so iv priced up 2400watt element and thinking this should kick some arse! Question...

Hey mate iv got that exact set up and by the same company and they work really well for a first time BIAB system, iv added a pump to recirculate my wort while mashing which helps regulate the temp, be sure to get yourself some of that bubble wrap type insulation and throw that around it and it...

Cheers guys all great advice!

I'd love that option mate but I live 1400ks from my nearest city so I don't have get to browse the grains and have s good look my only option is to take a punt and order a brew or 2 worth of grain and hope for the best lol but so far my beers have turned out pretty bloody good!

Na I mean the kits with the yeast and grain that you mash yourself just like a standard all grain recipe but it's all put together for you to make a specific type of beer, I was looking at a few the other day and it got me intrested and thought I'd give the Irish red a go but don't want to...

Just wondering if anyone has given these a bash and if so what was the finished beer like? Iv seen a few home brew stores selling them and thought I'd give em a go.. All my past brews have been what iv found off of the net and thought looked good and they have all turned out well.

It took me a while to get my head around it mate but I think iv got the gist of it

Yea that's a good point too rocker mate, iv just found in the past that the mash out doesn't seem to affect the outcome of the finished beer to the point of it being noticeable but that could be me doing it wrong I'm not sure. Iv found that focusing more on the fermentation and yeast selection...

By the looks of things blokes habe been getting far better results knocking up there own system rather then fork out thousands for a system that just barely gets the job done? I think the standard old chest freezer and a good temp controller seems to be doing a better job for the average home...

Na bugga that mate, I'm a homebrewer and I don't take myself to seriously I'm not a commercial brewery I don't need to be producing the exact same product every time, iv done mash outs in the past and brewed the same beer without the mash out step and can't really notice the difference, brewing...

Hey fellow brewers I was just wondering if any of you guys owns one of these flash new grainfather glycol fermenter chillers and if they are worth the Cost? They sell for around $1400 Aus not including the fermenter which is another $700 on top? Iv done a bit of reading up on these things and...
