I never Liked the wort going down the overflow so got rid of it on mine.

I can get Crisp, Weyermann and Durst malts. There is an American guy who opened on online shop on the mainland which has been a life saver really. He also stocks Whitelabs yeast. themaltshop.biz is his store. Not sure about rice wine and the laws applying to it.

There are a few home brew stores here. They have a disclaimer saying it is up to the customer to ensure the alcohol content isn't over 1% From what i've heard, it is an old outdated law which they realize is near impossible to police. As long as you don't sell it...

I buy my hops from them, I’ve seen the yeast but never tried it. Next time I order I’ll grab some

Yeah, sparged 10 litres very gently.

Tried something different today. I usually don’t let wort flow down the overflow tube, so thought I’d just get rid of it. I joined the top and bottom plates together, sort of a double bottom for the malt pipe. Thinking that now I can stir the mash, if any small particles go through the first...

Yeah, give it a go. What wattage do you boil at?

Yeah, I use Beersmith. Here’s a shot of my equipment profile, maybe of use. Before brewing, I did a test boil to calculate the boil off at 1800 watts.

Finally had a chance to brew tonight, first time in five years!! Hit my pre and post boil gravity bang on so super happy!

I can check mine tonight, at work at the moment

I think so too. Was a nice surprise.

Worked this time

Ah, won't upload the photo of the instructions... to large apparently.

Here's a pics of the control panel and part of the instructions. From what I can gather, it can store 9 recipes too.

Just checked the instructions, also has a hop addition timer and need to press auto to confirm to start mashing & boiling.

Just had my unit delivered tonight. 110v version. It measures the temp in .1 degree increments. Is that the same as you guys have?

Just ordered one of these today, only the 110v 1800w version. Fingers crossed it has a reasonable boil. Living in the southern islands of Japan so hoping for some quick postage.

I have a 40l version that didn't come with a ball valve and thermometer installed. The stainless is thin and was difficult to get to seal the tap and thermometer. I haven't used it yet so don't know how it holds temps. If I was in the market now I would spend more money on something else.

Thanks for the replys guys. Will go back to the brewshop and check with them. Im pretty sure its a mix up with the labeling. Cheers Mike

Hi fellas, Got some Pride of Ringwood pellets from my local brewshop yesterday. Just noticed the packet says 5.8% AA... I thought POR hops were usually around 10%? Got me wondering if the shop has got it wrong on the label? Has anybody had them this low before? Cheers Mike
