I'm digging up this old thread so I can hopefully gain a bit more knowledge and advice and finally try to get my recirculating system up and running in auto. I gave up ages ago but am determined to get it working. I am going to do something like this as a mash 'bag' and recirculate slowly from...

1st year Goldings rhizome, it was only a small one too and didn't expect much. It put roots into the vege patch through the bottom of the pot, got 2.5kg wet! If you have a saaz at all I'd love to do a swap

I used to use a secondary ferment for clarity. But now I just do the primary ferment, raise temp a bit for a lager to finish off, then cold crash to clear and then bottle or keg. I think every time the beer moves there is a chance for an infection or oxidation, so it stays in the FV until it is...

When winter comes, I'd like to see if anyone who has a saaz rhizome/crown would like to swap for a goldings crown or cluster or mt hood rhizome. Preferably local to Hunter Valley NSW

Is that 2 cans plus 2kg of fermentables? Haven't done kits for years but that seems strong in a 23L batch. And you probably know that 25 is a bit warm...

I read it as: -Cold crash, prime and bottle. - Keep bottles at lager temps for x weeks -Raise temp to rouse yeast and let them carb the bottles -Lager again then drink. I wonder also if you could cold crash and bottle but not prime. Leave the un-primed bottles to lager. Then pop the cap, add...

I like your thinking outside the box on the mash tun mate, good work.

Yeah mate, looks good ;)

All I usually get from 34/70 is a load of sulphur, which I could do without

Keep us posted, I've always wondered about the amount of crap left by BIAB. Although I don't think it's any detriment to the beer produced.

Rinse EVERYTHING that can handle it in boiling water.

I have an auber (2352 I think) which works great. 2400w is plenty of power, can't see a problem with running it from the controller. The controller should be just an on/off type arrangement, you set a cycle time of say 2 secs, at 50% power it is on for 1 sec and off for 1 sec, it doesn't...

Home grown, just harvested 1.5kg wet. I took an average aa% figure so if its here or there it shouldn't matter too much. With the lager recipe I went a bit higher with the IBU, better to be a bit higher in bitterness than too low.
