Interesting, so what would happen if you basically cold mashed and sparged a grain bill to extract those GFS from the malt. Then could go on and hot mash the wort to make another beer, a bit like a negative or reversed parti gyle.

@MHB Thanks for that link to article very interesting info and we seem to agree not one for a pressure ferment. I was thinking that a hotter mash would produce fewer simple fermentables but not sure why back sweetening came into my chain of thought as it should have plenty of unfermented...

Thanks for those tips @MHB it's an unique yeast so there's going to be some challenges. Guess it's not one to completely squash any expression with pressure. I'm wondering if back sweetening a recipe with only fermentables by the yeast might make it a little safer for late contamination risks...

Hmm think I'm okay following a how to build it instruction but learning to program is a big ask. However I will look into it. As you say the nuts and bolts are there just needs a spanner or torque wrench to tighten it.

@BrewLizard I'll confess to some knowhow, just built Two of these Repetidor iSpindel con Display Oled and added the extra sensors to it and have attached the ispindels I made to them. Also a couple of wifi repeaters as per https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater They are all...

but the relays are still under the guten I assume. So it's just the control panel that's corded?

@The Mack Thanks for that tip, I'll check the intended recipe and if necessary dewheat it.

I'm going to do a few more brews see how these mods go and then consider the smart pid. Not sure why they can't be web enabled a bit like brewpiless and then I could just run it off my laptop or have it on the wall.

Agreed shame it's only in big packs, need a co-operative on them. I got lucky with some "gifts".

I've just got some of this yeast https://fermentis.com/en/product/safbrew-la-01/ Has anyone on the forum used this yeast? or got any recommendations for a recipe to try with it? I'm wondering a mild recipe mashed hotter than usual or just try it in the David Heath Low alcohol IPA recipe...

@Jayvan90 Sorry about the problems, I do like the way that the trubtrapper is held in the right position with the false bottom. Questions how and when do you fit it in so that the false bottom is below the whirlpool bit? Could be that one of the false bottom legs or the edge with rubber on...

Small bits of crud should be able to go thru the pump fine and as the grain bed settles in will get caught by the grains at the top. So well before the end of mash the wort should be running crystal clear. Any that is left in the kettle during the boil will come to the surface and you can skim...

Strange, no such problems with the Guten 70 of bottom dropping out or wort bits, the robobrew 3 had an extra bit of mesh in the bottom I recall.

Interesting will await test results. I had to send the hop missile back as the bottom part of the cylinder bit was knife sharp along with the bit that fitted into it. Suggested that I filed it down by the company that made it!! Supplier wanted it back though to assess themselves.

Cans aren't that cheap in NZ, hence my expensive counter pressure bottle filler! Who said it was cheap beer anyway, need a cooperative I think for the canner or rent it out if I got one. Labelling is worthwhile, I was convinced I'd remember the beer when I started but visiting the archive of...

That's looking good, obviously want a good seal on the bottom of the kettle otherwise it will all run underneath. My first small trubtrapper I put a piece of silicone hose split down it's length over the fit edge to contact the kettle bottom.

@Ballaratguy I can see the logic! 695 dollars for the canning machine ( minimum) , 180 dollars for 300 x 330ml cans, 180 dollars for 207 x 500ml cans. So say 700 cans, one canning machine and the labels for each one. That works out at 1.85 dollars on packaging the first 700 cans ( 300 litres...

@Murrayatuptown Thanks for the info re the labels, I've been using beerlabelizer.com the paid variant did seem worth it. Not the most efficient use of the paper though. There top tip is to secure the label with milk. I just brush it on the bottle and put the plain paper printed label on. It...

@FarsideOfCrazy I got the seal from here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32968937392.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.30c545fckoTYLP The one I got was 6x10 mm but a little wider would provide a better footprint on the kettle bottom, but it is higher so would perhaps hold more wort back. Not sure...

Zywiec is my on keg lager, it came out really well with Opshaug kveik pressure fermented. Last brewday I did a double batch half with kveik yeast and the rest with Czech budejovice yeast. Drinking the kveik already and the other keg lagering in the keg fridge to be ready for the day. I've just...
