Well actually it wouldn't take much to stick it in the urn and pump the wort through it all you need is some hose connections from mash tun through the pump into the coil and back into the mash tun and you have yourself a HERMS system which will give you better control over the mashing...

yeah gaffa tape will do . Nice that insulation works a treat . I use it on my mash tun which is a 50lt keg hardly lose any temp it's even better with the HERMS .

Big Green shed . I just cut a peice of styrofoam to shape and covered it in cloth tape hardly lost any temp over the hour mash .

Don't listen to them .I have asked the question is it any good and got told no and kept going with it and ended up with a decent size starter . The starter looks good and as you said it smells good when its finished build it up again.

And that is why I don't enter comps any more is because of the inconsistencies . I had one beer judged by a reputable accredited BJCP he said it was a solid 40pts . Put it in a comp and it only received average 32pts .

Got a witness to prove that it didn't stick and no it wasn't my dog .

My grain bill was 63% wheat , 27% pale in the grainfather and no rice hulls took the top plate off and ran a knife through the grain boy was it a slow trickle of a sparge .

Looks good and tasty just brew it and if you don't like it send it to me for more testing .

Well I was going to put down two brews on tuesday and ended up making the American Wheatie . My 3V HERMS systems PID decided to **** itself I turned the PID on and it began to flash 345.68 degrees on the PV so I couldn't use it . I borrowed the clubs grainfather as well for the day so I ended up...

There is no right or wrong way of doing things I stir 2 to 3 times during the mash so whatever floats your boat .:drinkingbeer:

What part of Melb are you in cause there might be someone near you who could help you with it . I have a 35lt willow esky took the tap out cut a peice of 1/2" all thread tubing to length which I got from the big green shed and screwed on a flanged nut on the inside with the original washer and...

Why not brew a2 X 20lt batch and split in half or are you experimenting with hops ???????? Stove top ?

No harm in that for us home brewers that's all part of the experience to try different hops and yeasts with oddball recipes and call it an ESB or American wheat beer or whatever . Brewing beer is always an experiment well at least that is how I see it .

Yeah Amarillo and Cascade in a dark beer works really well it doesn't over power the malt as much as galaxy . Actually this discussion started with a dark ale with hoppy flavour and aroma go figure ?

Have to agree with Goatchop41 it is one of the best ESBs I've had and love the Galaxy hop .

I used a kg of midnight wheat in a black IPA no burnt flavour in it at all. Mind you it took 12mths to become drinkable
