That reminds me ill have to check it out next week when im there! If you do go there are some good pubs nearby worth checking out after. Head to the Black Lion in Hammersmith and then pub crawl down the river from there. Old ship and the Dove close by.

you seriously get 85%!?! also, have you actually noticed an improvement in flavour as the article suggests?

Nah I didn't have the hop spider in the malt pipe. In the boil yes

I did use brewtan b for the first time. Other than that nope. It seems weird that it's not on the whole malt pipe but only on one strip?

Yeh that was similar to my gap. They replaced the bottom screen, but there is still a slight gap, so must be the malt pipe? Ill get onto them after the 7th. Never seen a wort stain like that. came off no worries, was just curious why it was only on a specific spot on the malt pipe.

Had another brew day. Single infusion to simplify things, set power to 1000w for the mash and worked a treat, no scorching!!! Did still end up with heaps of floaties in the boil so I genuinely have no idea. I replaced the bottom screen and there is still a bit of a gap so maybe its the malt...

Thanks guys! So stoked on the purchase. I managed to get a commercial fridge off a mate who's a fridge mechanic. I might give the pressure ferment a go on this one just for fun. Will report back

It's finally here! Ended up with the pressure kit, pickup tube, few extra 2" and 1.5" addons, and some tubing all up for $1078 so not too different to what's on the Aussie market with pressure fermenting. Most of that was the USD conversion fee. Seems like a really solidly built unit! Brewing...

would love one thanks

Yeh, been using the white cap for dough in. So is the top filter plate a necessity or even desirable?

Hrm... I'd say for the money I spent I'm going to get kegking to fix the problem

Thanks for all the responses. Grain bill was 9.6kg and 30lt water. I adjusted the flow so that the water level sits just below the return pipe (maybe 3cm) and is stable. I use both pipes. Does look like there is a gap in the bottom of the malt pipe. It's not big but moving it around it doesn't...

Yeh scorching before the boil. I didn't have the top plate on this brew incase it was too fine and I had to stir it. Think this could have also caused the grain to get below the malt pipe? Maybe because the top plate wasn't there the bottom plate wasn't stabilised?

I'll check when I get home. I have the bump facing up. How loose should the pipe be screwed into the bottom plate? I had it a tiny bit loose so if I moved it, it wouldn't move the bottom plate and let any grain slip by. Only other thing is I stirred the grain after mashing in and scraped the...

So that grain in the hop spider was after I had finished the mash and removed the grain basket. I have no idea how the grain is even getting in there. The water level never got above the overflow height and I had a hop screen on the overflow anyway. I put all the wort in cubes pre boil and the...

So managed to get it working at 1800w for no known reason. After the mash still getting grain in the kettle. It was a course crush this time and still no idea why it's happening. I've been recirculating the wort now through a hop spider and Ive pulled out 3 of these.

My Guten keeps turning itself off after about 3 minutes of running. It's not tripping the circuit breaker in the house. Doesn't seem to matter what power setting or if the pump is on or not. Comes good after another 3 minutes and I can turn it back on. Any ideas before I can call kegking at...

Thanks for the replies. Just a few things to clarify, stick with the brewpiless over brewpi? If I grab the non SMD it says I have to get the level shifter. Not going to be a problem? Or should I get one of the Vito boards you referenced? Looks like I'll get ordering. Fingers crossed lads!

Looking to make a brewpi before I complete an iSpindel. Since this is my first electronics project I had a few questions and just wanted to clarify some stuff: As far as I can tell the difference between brewpi and brewpiless is the lack of Arduino. The ESP8266 having wifi capability means its...

Sorry for OT, its just the most active "electronics" thread. I want to complete a Brewpi project that can integrate into iSpindel. Hopefully complete this first to wrap my head around this stuff. Is this the project that I'm looking for? https://github.com/vitotai/BrewPiLess /...
