I totally agree with this it demonstrates that the valve on the kettle needs to be stripped every batch. It is so easy to believe that boiling wort in the kettle is hot enough to sterilise the valve when in fact it wont and if you are unfortunate to have this take hold in your system it will...

I have no problem with you doing it your way but me Ill do it my way. Cheers Altstart

At the time I had this Problem I was brewing 60 litre batches and no chilling into a plastic fermenter. These days I brew 90 litre batches and no chill into a 110 litre S/S conical with no problems. I lost a brew about 5 months back through an infected yeast slant but apart from this one...

I repeat it is possible to get a source of infection on the boiling wort side of the valve on the kettle and it will survive and infect for brew after brew. Back in 2005 Ross <Craftbrewer> who introduced me to A/G was involved along with other people on this forum in trying to find the source...

When I first went A/G back in 05 I had a series of beers infected lost approx 900 litres. I pulled my system apart and changed so many items over a period of 9 months. When I found the problem I did not believe it was possible. I had an infection at the back of the S/S tap on the kettle I kicked...

I saw the unit you speak about last week and had a close look it is virtually identical to my nasa I bought in 2006 from G and G. I agree the stand is flimsy so was mine I threw it out and welded up my own stand to take a 100 ltr S/S pot. I made my stand from 5mm 50mm angle and I have no...

I had no trouble bending 6m of 1/2 inch annealed S/S pipe around a piece of 6 inch plastic sewer pipe. Took me about 20 mins and it fits very neatly in a 19ltr pot from Big W. If you buy annealed pipe its not as difficult as you think. Cheers Altstart

Hi Recent discusion on the subject of mash PH has prompted me to give more attention to this aspect of brewing. One of the first requirements is to have a PH meter and research has shown that I need a PH meter with an automatic temprature compensation feature. A search of E Bay has revealed that...

I agree with Bribie that a new thread should be started in the bulk buy forum for future buys and a post made in the pub forum informing members that a new buy is up and running. Cheers Altstart
