    PID Controller wanted.

    That looks pretty flash hotmelt!!
  2. The Village Idiot

    PID Controller wanted.

    I want to control my mash better(electric single vessel) and step mash would be nice so I was wondering is there anywhere you can purchase a PID Controller ready to plug and play at a reasonable price or maybe an electrically proficient AHB Member that might be interested in a project?? I would...

    Custom CNC False Bottom

    Thanks Mark, that's what I was getting my head around. Used to have a round cooler with domed bottom and the outlet on top. PITA to stir and kept moving the falsie. Toying with the idea of feeding the mash from the bottom like a BM. Early days and a few headaches to come.

    Custom CNC False Bottom

    Cutting a keg tomorrow and am very interested in views on this subject. If channelling down the sides is an issue, as Palmer suggests, should a full width false bottom have an edge or an unperforated section around the edge to minimise the side wall channelling?

    Woo Hoo - First AG BIAB Done!

    Looks like you made beer, great work. I usually start with 33-35 litres of water depending on boil time and grain bill. That would have filled the cube more. If you are pitching soon it shouldn't be a problem. It's all down hill from here mate. Peter

    Subbing pellet hops for dried flowers, how much?

    I would leave the hop amounts the same as the flowers have a higher AA which probably balances out an increase in overall weight.??

    Subbing pellet hops for dried flowers, how much?

    Just plug the new numbers into whatever brew software you use and it does the calc for you.

    Which yeast?

    Used POR Flowers... I do have S189, worth a thought, but **** I hate waiting for lagers.

    Which yeast?

    I am doing a Andrew QLD pale recipe(Pilsner malt with sugar) but don't necessarily want a Coopers clone. I have 1272, 2112, Notto or maybe an oldish starter of Coopers Pale yeast. Chasing a nice clean finish... easy drinker for the boss. Haven't used 2112 before but leaning that way, or...

    Sodium Perc or infection?

    It certainly has a strong scent........ friggin' band aids!!!!
  15. The Village Idiot

    Sodium Perc or infection?

    I have a brew that has the dreaded band-aid/medicinal taste and smell. Can leaving Sodium Perc in contact with the fermenter or cube too long cause a problem? Lazy bugger didn't rinse it out for a week or so. Or do I have an infection of some sort?

    Adding orange peel/zest to secondary?

    Can I safely add to secondary ?? If so, for how long?

    Adding orange peel/zest to secondary?

    I have attempted a Wit for the first time with a little coriander and orange zest added in the last 10 of the boil. It has been fermenting for 9 days(Forbidden Fruit yeast) and is very happily chugging along. Tastes a little "peppery" but can't detect the orange. Suggestions on when and how...

    Transferring beer from fermenter to Keg

    Is that re-usable filter??? Mesh inside??
  19. The Village Idiot

    Which yeast?

    No Manticle, was just after opinions or other suggestions.
  20. The Village Idiot

    Which yeast?

    Already in the cube so I will have to go with what I have. I was pretty conservative with only 10g of coriander and the same of fresh zest. The coriander smelt outstanding when crushed ... Forbidden fruit sounds interesting.
