    Counterflow Chiller - Advice

    Scheme water in Scarboro was 28C the other day so Maylands may be around that as well. My CFC delivers wort about 4C above that of the cooling water which is not adequate this time of the year, so I coiled up 5M of 1/2" copper and put it in a container holding 4KG crushed ice in a slurry. I pass...

    Fermented Out In 3 Days!

    I recently pitched an ale onto a full measure of slurry (I usually just pull out 1/2 a litre or so) and the fermentation was done and dusted in 48 hours even though I never let the wort go over 18C. The resultant brew smelt and tasted like dirty sandshoes so I left it there at 18C and after...

    2200w Elec Element

    1 watthour = 860 calorie so work from there. As an aside, if you can run 3600W (15A) you will be glad.

    Sandgroper Xmas 2007 Recipes And Tasting

    Mika's Christmas Beer. I saved this for the 2008 Christmas dinner finale. Enid did not bother to make a Christmas pudding this year and she had no need to for there it was, bottled up like a genie waiting to be released for our pleasure. It was clean on the palate, clear to the eye with rich...

    Those would make a serious amount of beer. It looks like a four man team at minimum.

    More jibber jabber---- I just pulled some Italian sausages out of the smoker. Am I permitted to bring them along even if they aren't deep fried? If you're doubtful,I can assure you that there is heaps of fat in them.

    Excess Brew Going To Bottles.

    I usually have a couple of litres over after I keg so I just run them out into a 2L coke bottle, squeeze all the air out, screw the cap on tight and drop it into the bottom of the keg fridge. When the keg is down a few litres I crack it and add the leftover beer. Never noticed a problem.

    Venison Sausages

    I've made roo sausages a few times and have found that 25-30% fatty pork and/or bacon bits is needed or they are too dry. I should imagine your deer would be exactly the same.

    Gassing Keg Without C02 Connected

    If you fermented at 20C, you will have theoretically 0.83 volumes of Co2 disolved in your beer at end of ferment. You are looking for about 2.5 volumes so you must force in another 2.5- 0.8 = 1.7 volumes or 32 litres of gas in a 19L cornie. If you have 1 litre of head space pressurised to 200kpa...
