What the hell? What happened man?

I get quite a nice cone in my 40L Birko with exposed element... When no chilling, I let it settle for 10 minutes or so with the lid off, then whirlpool fast as I can with my mash paddle, put the lid on and leave sit for 15 minutes or so. I use a 90' elbow with a 3/8" hose barb for a pickup...

Isn't it funny how your attitude to kitchen shops changes once you start brewing :lol:

Two practices I'd change for future brews: Don't drop your hydrometer directly into the brew, fit a tap and use a hydrometer tube (try to remember to loosen the lid before opening the tap too)... Don't bother with the hopsock, if you dump your hops straight in after primary and then cold crash...

I'm with Tonesbrew as well, brewhouse efficiency measured in the fermenter. I only use efficiency numbers for my records, it's pointless giving someone a recipe based on my urn's deadspace or my whirlpool technique / lack there-of.... Recipe DB's I use 70% though.

:icon_drool2: That's gonna make someone a happy little brewer!

Looks exactly like the bottom of the Rye IPA I bottled last night... Mine was having little volcanic eruptions too which was kinda cool...

Brewing this tomorrow, Lightly hopped Pale Ale of sorts God knows what it'll be like :P Batch Size - 28L OG - 1.049 - FG Est - 1.010 IBU's - 29 (beersmith) will come out higher as no-chilling Mashed @ 65' - 1 hour 48% Marris Otter 48% BB Wheat Malt 4% Pale Crystal 10g Chinook - First Wort...

Have fun you lot and try not to end up on the news :lol:

Mines about 26' I can't get to pitching temps on an immersion chiller alone, I have to fridge it or frozen milk bottle it. I think I'll eventually get one of those little pumps off the Nevmeister and pump ice water though the chiller after the bore water

Bugger, was gonna tell you to send them my way :D :icon_drool2:

That's purrrrrty..... stainless is addictive I reckon :P Cheers for the ciders too KBB, just hit the spot after that camper-van job

ooooh she's pretty too :icon_drool2:

ooohh that is sexy :icon_chickcheers:

Very interesting thread, I've never really thought about it to be honest, I've always used the hot water to save time but looking back I have noticed that my hot water takes a little time to "settle" in a glass. I think I'll be grabbing a timed power supply when I get the chance....

Cheers Bribie :icon_cheers:

Sorry if this has been answered but I can't find the info.... are the entries to these comps to be submitted to Craftbrewer?

It's a great beer isn't it, I've still got a couple of bottles left from august and its aging beautifully. 10,000% better than Killkenny
