Do you have a standard tower? If so, then they should fit. If not, then they might not fit. :P

Can they be stacked inside each other for shipping? as that will be a major factor in how much that shipping price drops for larger quantities. If they stack, the price should drop pretty rapidly for additional units.

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

And summer is the 3rd :P

High gravity BIAB needs a sparge. But don't just stop at what you can fit in pre-boil. Keep topping up your pot during the boil with sparge water until about 10mins from the end of the boil. You're going to be topping up at some stage anyway, so might as well do it with suggery goodness...

Is the crab cooker aluminium or stainless? Might be something to consider when selecting your fittings (mixing the two can be bad if i remember correctly, though i may just be drunk in which case ignore me)

In case anyone was worried, your personal information (name, phone number and address) have infact been published publicly on a website here

Ah ok - that does actually make more sense that its the conversion of SMM to DMS and not the boiling off of DMS that takes that long.

Going from the article that Stormahead quoted, you end up with 10 times more at the end if you started with 10 times more, so you might want to consider a longer boil.

As long as you believe then you're fine.

2200W will be fine for boiling a single batch. Is that 1st element one of the keg king elements? If so, there is a big thread about them with alot of unhappy people - you might want to read it and make up your own mind. Also do a search for uexcel elements, qldkev started a thread about them...

just leave it, and stop taking the top of your fermenter.

Thats how it starts, and then they're all gone

Recognise the number did you?

Do you have another batch down yet? If so, try to hold off cracking one until you bottle your next batch - that will help get you into a cycle that removes the temptation of cracking one early (since you'll be drinking the previous batch). Of course that depends on how much you drink :party:

nope - the content on his site has a free shipping image, and a CSS sheet that references images from craftbrewer.com.au.

uhhh, pre-boil efficency should be higher not lower. Boil off doesn't effect efficency as the measurement takes both gravity and volume into account. The difference between pre-boil and into fermenter are a result of be any trub losses you have with your system.

76% into the fermenter is pretty good. What sort of pre-boil efficency do you get? around 85% im guessing? I wouldn't bother trying to improve it, your getting consistent results which is the #1 important thing. If you start messing with your process then you'll loose that consistancy.

wait, what - aren't we on AHB. :D I guess theres a first time for everything though.

Why not throw them into some no rinse sanitiser?
