I planned on doing BIAB AG brews in it instead of on the stove, (currently restricted by 19L pot) and i thought i might make up a strainer to sit in the top so i can hoist the grain bag, chuck it on the strainer then sparge.

Hey all has anyone seen these, or is anyone using one? i'm concerned about the preset electronic thermostat control but thought that for the money i could replace the electronic unit with a variable type to get a greater control over the urns temp? Thoughts, comments, experiences greatly...

Many variables to consider here mate, I'm not sure how to handle the blackout situation but if you're experiencing breaker trip due to overload that can be solved. Forgive me if you're already aware of all this but in order to easily overcome overload issues go out to your switchboard and see...

Thanks Bob

What exactly is cubing mate?

Hi all, i'm just sitting back enjoying another successful BIAB all grain brew and i'm disappointed that I have only 10litres available :( Currently i'm mashing etc in a 19lire pot on the stove in the kitchen, I keg my beer and have the facilities to ferment (temp controlled) and keg 80litres...

Thanks mate thats the one I was after.

Hi guy's before you all flame me i've searched and scoured for a couple of days now. I'm looking for an old post possibly by Bribie G or Nick JD on BIAB. This was a really great post on the BIAB method simplified, with pics. I used it to make my first BIAB a year ago and wanted to show it to...

Thanks very much Shawn, do you know where i can find a calculator to amend the S.G due to the temperature?

Hi all, can someone please correct my gravities and give me an alc content (a) Start 1044 @ 26C - final 1006 @ 15C (b) Start 1040 @ 26C - Final 1006 @ 15C Your help is greatly appreciated, and yes i will be downloading beersmith shortly i'm just about to rebuild my CPU though. Cheers, Jet

I forgot to mention, if you have more pressure in one keg than the other (considerably more) the beer from the highly carbonated keg may run up through line into the least carbonated keg. You can simply avoid this by bleeding the more carbonated keg

I just use a T-Piece mate its not "perfect" as different drinks do like different pressures but I usually run a cider and a beer, if you just ran two beers i think it would be fine (at a next to nothing price) Another advantage I've found is that I can evenly force carbonate two kegs at once...

This post has just blown me away, previously being a mechanical engineer and having started electrical engineering this week i feel jaded with myself for not having thought of it, but i guess as yet i'm still getting to know the basics of brewing and one must crawl blah blah blah. I am very...

Hey all, so im about to rack my first AG BIAB lager to secondary and just thought about keeping the yeast as a starter for next weeks brew. What's the best way to do this? From what i've so far read i just pour the sludge from my fermenter into a PET bottle and leave in the fridge (it almost...

I did BIAB mate if that helps

Sorry mate now i feel like i'm harrassing you but, i'll go your way and lager first in a keg. Does that mean that ill just have to let the gasses out via the kegs releif valve every so often? If so, how often?

So i've decided to rack unfiltered to a keg, store at ???? degrees and then filter, carbonate, drink great beer. Thanks for that link mate it makes a little more sense now, any suggestions on actual lager temp? 1-2C?

Thanks again mate, do you filter before lagering? I thought that such a fine filter would pretty much halt any characteristics from changing?

Sorry mate, are you saying 1.7L is too much sparge? no offence taken i was really experimenting and playing it all by ear.

Thanks mate, so if i were to chill, filter, keg, leave for a while then carbonate and drink said keg that would be lagering right? If so, how long do you lager for?
