I found i had to up the amount of crystal malt a bit on the recipes i tried to get the perceived sweetness i recall smithwicks tasting of when i was in ireland, kilkenny is the diago international offering of smithwicks, apparently the marketing dept figured international consumers would...

Agree with brewno. Cant see any alternative regatding hops.

would have to be slightly carbonated water or it would flatten the crap out of it.

Scale brews back to 20l and as moons says just use kegs for storage.

Glad you chimed in pete as i was feeling guilty. I just swirl the last bit of beer round in the yeast cake and pour into a sterile jar. Cap than pour it into the next batch.

Where?

Agree with bookers. Ignore the kits instructions and set at 18 l. Then after the hydrometer flatlines cold crash for a few days down to 1deg before bottling or kegging.

hope there is a bit of rain in this front, the poor hops are doing it tough

bloody vine sucker infestation again,

Iam hearing you there Skipper :-)

Isnt it sort of self defeating cold crashing to then bottle condition? I mean your only going to end up with sediment again after the bottle conditioning? even when cold crashing with kegs i still get a tiny bit of sediment in the bottom of the keg after keg conditioning. The good thing about...

There is another option to explore which gives you some of the best of both worlds and what i have basically settled on tor the last 12 monts. And that is partial grain brewing. I pretty much use cans for my bitterness and then add steeped crystal malt / roasted barly and make up the rest with...

FTFY

I for a long time couldnt get the perceived sweetness in my red ales. Im my scenario steeped crystal malt ended up addressing the shortfall.

What you are seeking can be easily done. Get a sparky to wire up some 10a outlets individually protected with 10a breakers fed from the 20a plug. This way you have effectively maximim demand by limitation. And under no circumstances would you then be able to overload either the 20a plug/socket...

Have to agree with fdsaasdfs post, adress the gas side. imo the mini regs on the market just dont sut it. They are unreliable. I use a standard comet regulator (boc gasses version of the mk2 reg) for my road warrier setup. I have tried mini regs but i just cant trust them. A decent mini reg...

Agree with most of the comments regarding this being dodgy. Just to correct mischas beleif of the earthing conductor requiring to take an overload current, this isnt strictly true, the earth is to protect against instantaneous short curcuit. This is why the fault loop impedence check is so...

What you are seeing is overshoot. As maheel pointed out in the previous post there has to be a relativly large change in the air temp before the liquid in the fermenter catches up, by this time the air temp as way over the set point, then the controller will drive the process the other way...

Why dont you try a partial grain to begin with?

Where is that mongey? Edit; found it . The one on the way out of town next to the real estates.
