It could be I dont know. I have a trivet support which is 130mm off the bottom of the urn, that is how far the bottom of the bag is from the heat source. The recirculation is 6 litres per minute which means that a complete recirculation of the 33 litres of mash water/wort takes 5.5 minutes. I...

Yes they are Bunnings plumbing hoses, the long one is for a mixer tap and the other can be bought at various lengths. I would like a PID controller but would not be capable of setting it up.

The wort return is good, I made it that way because I had a coil of soft copper pipe which was already coiled. If I made another the easiest way would be to make it as a straight piece of tube across the boiler, I am not sure that the circular pipe does anything better - just looks good !

Thanks Mark, I intend to get it done before the next brewday

I only use the STC for mashing temperatures, highest being 78oC. There was no sign of softness on the probe at this temperature. I will buy a thermowell 4omm from Craftbrewer in due course, I appreciate advice and am hoping to glean some good suggestions from others experiences.

Buy an electric boiler without a thermostat or one with an exposed element, any way not a Crown concealed element.

As promised some more pictures and comment on my Wort Recircualting Mashing System WORMS-BIAB. I decided for practical reasons to use the Braumeister step mashing schedule, the step temperatures should prove whether the system can work. The mash schedule -- 38o - mash in...

Did not get any problems with blocked holes in the sparge ring I did anticipate this and had got a bit of bent wire to poke into the holes did"nt use it, the pump just pumped away no problems at all. I will post my brewday pictures later today.

Absolutely right Mark, this is a prototype and I am looking for suggestions to make improvements. I am not an experienced brewer but I read a lot of interesting things on AHB and although I say so myself I am able to think outside the box, some brewers are looking to step mash and others the...

Had'nt heard that it was not water proof, some brewers insert the probe into a water bottle when in use to control a fermentation fridge.

About 150mm below the surface, just dangling the probe in. I am hoping that I get suggestions as to where to site the temperature probe. I have considered removing the site tube from the boiler and inserting a small thermowell instead.

This one I got from Kitchen Witch in Mandurah $9 it is 32cms dia. The other I got from a camping shop also in Mandurah a bit heavier guage metal but cost $12.

Before I begin my topic can I say that I have no particular skills as a DIY'er no computer skills and even less brewing skills. I read the AHB forums religiously every day and and very impressed with those members who have the skills to make things to help them improve their brewing ability...

Could you please explain what a "sprocket" is, I only know of a sprocket on a bike chain wheel. I have a Corona and would like to motorise it. One of our AHB members has a corona with a windscreen wiper motor attached,looks a good job, don't know how dificult it would be to build.

Been using the dodgy plastic one for some time now,does a great job and easy to clean.
