3 Cigweld gas regulators from Andale Beveridge systems. I have no idea how much these are worth, so make a reasonable offer. Based in Melbourne western suburbs 3027. Have not been used for a few years now, so I would recommend having them serviced.

I am selling the gear I started All Grain brewing with. The kit is a Esky converted with copper piping for use as a mash tun. A 40cm boil pot, A commercial burner and a home made copper cooling coil. Much loved and much used. But a Grainfather for my birthday means I can now pass this on. Based...

I have changed mine to 80% as that is what I have been achieving constantly. But I am going to back off my crush slightly due to a couple of stuck sparges with less than 5kg grain bills.

That makes sense. In fact, I think you have me realizing the issue. When the wort was dropping down the overflow it was going fine, when I came back 30 mins later, the top plate had dropped down to the grain bed, which was lower than the lowest setting on the adjustable arm, so there was a...

Oh and I recently took out the ball valve. So I think either drawing in air there or just a to fine crush, that didn't affect my mash on 5+kg brews. But does on the 4kg ones.

Can't really hear it sounding different, but I can certainly see air in there. Soap??? I wonder?? I guess it is possible that it could be the cleaner, that wasn't rinsed enough? But I think it's just froth from air bubbles :)

Having a bit of a problem on the last two brews on the gf with grain bills around 4.2kg As you can see, there is a lot of frothing. I notice that the top filter plate does not go down far enough to sit on the grain, so there is a gap. I assume this isn't the problem. I can see a lot of oxygen...

Brewing with the GrainFather

Plenty of oxygen in the malt pipe, grain crush too fine?

I just dry hopped a pilsner with it and find it quite floral tasting. The biggest thing I have noticed is that it drops the arome very quickly. Pretty much have a pilsner with not smell.

Freeze? Sigh now I am going to have read up on that. My yeasts are sitting in the fridge. This Munich was at least 6 mths in the fridge and kicked off pretty good in the starter.

I think I got a lot of slurry because I took too much yeast from the starter. I poured some wort onto the 3L starter cake swirled and slopped some into a jar then added more wort to that. It was done in about 36 hours. 1.050 - 1.009

Try that again What kind if slurry volume would would you look at building from. So let's say I ran a 250ml sample and have approx 30ml of slurry. Normally I'd chuck that in a 1l then a 3L.

Thanks for that. What kind of slurry
