I expected that would be the case. Just on a quick calc, a full cycle of my entire mash-in liquor volume minus 1L/kg grain absorption is approx 5 minutes given my estimated flow rate. I guess that doesn't sound too bad. As long as the tun is able to hold the mash at that set temperature...

not from what ive seen, if you're reading 64 deg constant egress of the HE wouldn't you expect the entire mash to be within 1-2 deg of your set temp? Once i hit my desired temp, any area i read the mash from (given its still from the top) it is within 1 deg of what the PID is reading. Next...

Dropped the Briess PA for a Simpsons MO as i already have two sacks at home (found one hiding in a grain bin! :)) 1. Wolfy - 1x JW Trad Ale 2. iamozziyob - 2 x JW Trad Ale - 1 x Maris Otter 3. Cocko - 1x JW trad Ale, 1x JW Pils, 1x JW pale Wheat, 1 x WM Carapils [Halves with The_Duck] 4...

pretty much follow the same process. i simply take the outlet hose sitting on top of the mash during recirc into the kettle and continue to run via the HE. Any benefits i would get from the HE to the kettle would be insignificant i would think.

In my case, mash tin open full bore and egress the pump to hermit I have it open just enough to keep up with gravity on the way down into the top of the tun a speed akin to what I batch sparge at. Estimate 15-20 seconds/l The slower you flow the faster the hermit gets to temp.

if you brew in keg shaped vessels and do double batches... yes, adapt fly sparging where possible. i wanted to cry after getting such clean and polished wort to then mud it up with somewhat murky second runnings. <_< single batches? heck im just going to gently add my 'sparge' water to the...

Terribly. My rookie choices this year and worlds below what my decisions were last season and my teams spread is somewhat lacking. Although I'm glad I still have some decent coin left in the bank and haven't wasted any money on season ending injuries like last year... damn You Lenny.

The joys of modifying an open to all run sheet. :P

Rather than waiting days dry hop when your beer is a couple of points away from terminal gravity. e.g. for a 1.050OG pale ale hop it at around 1.016-1.020 Easy way to work this out? assume all of your yeasts attenuate to around 75-70%, take that figure and add 2-4 points to it. That way you...

i only see this typically when im too lazy to rehydrate dry yeast and some random yeast cells cling to the wort foam after oxygenation.

bitters must be kept simple. a favourite of mine 70% Maris Otter 12% crystal (i usually go 50:50 caramalt and a medium crystal or just straight medium) 8% table sugar. Bittering addition of EKG @ 30 IBU 1g/L EKG flameout addition. 1968 @ 20deg constant. happy days! :chug:

after calibrating thermocouple and reading from the outlet correctly here are the vitals from my double batch porter im brewing just now. i just hit the dextrinization rest. 10KG mash @ 3L:kg dough in @ 55deg for 10 mins ramp to 63 - 9:55-10:05 - 1 min 15 sec/deg ramp time ramp to 70 -...

Cheers Niko! Looks like a somewhat decent price compared to anything local (essentially double in price of what you can offer.) Got any other hops coming up soon? Before i decide to take a diveoff the deep end i might as well buy up big! ;)

Mildly smoked porter to test out the new HERMIT build. Taking it trhough all the ranges. So far so good. B) BeerSmith Recipe Printout - http://www.beersmith.com Recipe: Mason/Dixon Porter Brewer: Style: Robust Porter TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Batch...

simcoe = flavour. I was only on nikobrew moments ago looking where i can get decently priced simcoe in bulk. its like hens teeth.

Ive so got to pull my finger out and do something like this as the idea of making up a neoprene wetsuit for my mash tun is slipping father away based on cost. Bite the bullet and goto sams/kmart me thinks. Plents of camping/gym mats that are perfect for the job. Well the grainbill is prepped...

Kudos to Brendo and Kel for the awesome hospitality, a great day had by all! Just about to tip the sulfur IPA in wake for the marzen and BIPA. I so need to fill my empty kegs ASAP. Cheers once again! B)

Quick update! Received my coil last Friday and Maple, Brendo, CM2 and myself gave it a run through on our monster brew day #3 yesterday. Seemed to hold up to the pressures of mashing 30 odd kg of grain and ramping 70-120L of mash liquor from mash temps to mash out and beyond. Only issue we...
