Hi Paul, its quite easy to calculate: 1 IBU = 1mg of isomerized alpha acid in 1 Liter of wort. For example: your batch size is 25l and youd wish to have 25IBU in it. 25mg isomerized AA * 25 Liter = 625mg isomerized AA. If youd like to dilute the wort, just use the rule of three. Cheers...

People on Potassium diet/dialysis have to count as follows: German Lager and Pilsener beers with an average alc. content of 4.8 to 5%vol., containing 55mg Potassium in 100ml beer. Light beers, with an av. alc. content of ~2%, containing 35mg Potassium per 100ml beer. Standard-Weizen beers: 35mg...

The beer lines one can get over here are looking similar. They have an inner layer made of Polyurethan. Polyurethan is food grade. :icon_cheers:

yeah mate, thats right. That way Im using the yeast cake up to 6 times, sometimes 8 times in a row. You dont need to warm it up for pitching, just pitch cold. Yeast basically gets shocked when youre going to pitch warm yeast into cold wort, not the other way round. Cheers mate :icon_cheers:

It very depends on the form of the temperatur probe yoll be using. :icon_cheers:

Thats beautiful, Pumpy, a very tidy setup, congratulations :icon_chickcheers:

yeah....a piece of heaven. Beer belongs to the basic nutrition there. People who do not drink beer are aliens in Bavaria. TB, Im also a passionate biker, but riding a motobike and drinking beer doesnt really match together! Last weekend it was very warm and sunny in Bavaria, there have been...

The biggest brewery in the Hallertau is Oettinger. Oettinger has expanded all over the land. Around the little town Oettingen are many single parts of the brewery Oettinger. There is a very large north-brewery, a south-brewery, a west-brewery Additional there are many uncountable small...

would like to share some impressionsl, Ive made yeasterday in the Hallertau, with you all: middle in the Hallertau, where the Hallertauer hops comes from, hops is growing almost everywhere: also the whole area is dedicated to beer: Hallertau is an area of Bavaria. Bavaria is a land where...

if youre going to pitch the yeast warm, you should do a Diacetyl rest at the end of fermentation. The classical way to brew a Pilsener is to keep the yeast cold at all stages of brewing, hence youd need a huge amount of yeast. In case the amount of yeast is not sufficient, one could pitch at...

no, it isnt complicated, not at all. Do you know anyone with electronics skills? some handicraft enthusiast can do that for less than 10 A$ yeah, thats the water solenoid valve: the black hose delivers water directly from tab: the level sensor sits top of the lid: view under the lid...

What about using a level sensor in the mash tun? set the level sensor to the desired volume and turn on the water, switched over a solenoid valve from a washing machine. Thats what Im doing. As soon as the water reaches the sensor, the solenoid valve switches off the water. Its quite easy...

Everything depends very much on the pore size of the filter. Im using a 0.2 micron Pall filter, wont work by gravity only, I have to use a pump. Benefit: crystal clear beer, as from a commercial brewery. Cheers :icon_cheers:

Thanks Bradley, but Im a homebrewer, a craftsman, Im not aiming to get everything fully automated. Nevertheless, friend of mine has recreated my idea and combined the capper and the filler in one single console. It works a treat. Cheers mate :icon_cheers:

Id say, no it cant :icon_cheers:

hmmm...over here: 1kg of Pilsener malt cost ~ 50 Euro Cent. 1 kg Polenta cost ~ 1.49 Euro 1 kg of cheapest rice, cost ~ 2 Euro is it really a cost cutting method ? :icon_cheers:
