I've noticed in my short time on the AHB forum that home brewers can be somewhat taken by flavours and aromas. Be it a newly found spice for cooking or a return to good old comfort foods you haven't had for years. Substitute food for beer if you like. What flavour or aroma (individual or...

I've been thinking about different ways to exchange heat and cellar/larger e.t.c. One of the ideas I'm thinking about trying is a geothermal chiller. They are very temp stable all year round. Very cheap to run as well. Basically It's a heat exchanger/sink buried about 2-3 meters underground...

Hey all, I was thinking of putting a sink drain (s/s) in the bottom of my mash tun with a matching ball valve then a reducer to a 1/2 inch ball valve and related plumbing to the kettle. When finished sparging close the large ball valve, disconnect 1/2 inch then flush all the spent grains via a...

Hello brewers. I've been lurking for about two weeks reading and researching equipment and methods. I've got a hundred questions :rolleyes: but anyway this one first. As the title says. Has anyone tried flat tube vs round tube for heat exchange? Looking at the profile (flat) it would seem...
