Ended up doing as stated took hydrometre reading at 19 litres and was a 1039, so left at that also cleaned fermenter and saved a few spoon fulls of the slurry, bad thing is with adjusted calculations ibus where 45 and my could you taste the bitterness!

Well guys. Going to boil about 20 litres and end up with 15 litres of wort hopefully, and top up with water and ice cubes as necessary, got about 5 litres of water chilling, aiming for 21-22 litres of wort, APA pretty basic be interested to see how it goes :) Pitching onto an existing yeast cake...

Hi Guys. Back brewing, any of the old ISB crowd still about, or any brewers for that matter around Liverpool/Sutherland?

Just going with my 21 litre pot now, using the brewers friend website and chatting to them, no issue with boiling 18 litres(30 minute boil) and topping up to 21 litres, their software takes it into account. Will do for now until I can afford a better system next year and with icebath + freezing...

Just checked out the Brewzilla, is it worth it mate, @ $350 very, very good price, and it literally is a 1 pot solution?

Yeah I'll need to grab a siphon for this will be easiest method to get it into the cube due to orange size opening in it.

Thinking I'll just cool down as quick as I can. In the sink with ice, be a bit of a pain, but manageable. I should have 14-15 litres of wort into the fermentor and than top up with icey water from the freezer for 5 litres. Using 4.16 kilo of Joe White Ale Malt, 250g of Wheat, 250g of light...

Thanks mate, being just a more condensed version can't see why it should affect the IBU's?

How is it different from pouring in boiling water to mix extract?

Any reason after the boil I just can't pour into fermentor, snap the airlock in, leave overnight until cooled, then stir the shit out of it and pitch the yeast?

Hey Team. Seems hops since I stopped brewing nearly a decade ago like everything else these days has gone through the roof. Is there any place to get them cheaper in bulk ie 500g to 1kg? Thanks.

BIAB brewer here. Can comfortably do all steps for 4.5kgs of grain with the exception of the cooling part rapidly. Is there any issue if I seal up in my fermenter leaving the wort to cool to pitching temp, mainly do Ales so looking @ 22 or under. Will probably be able to get with sparging in...

Been looking for feedback on the Robo, is it easy to set up watched a clip and all seemed straight forward? I notice generation 3 can do a 30 litre batch which is awesome.

Hey mate when a fridge or freezer does that defrost it for 24 hours, there's a build up of ice preventing air circulation hence cooling, try to do this every 6 months or so.

Guys take off my grain request please, car has just blown a head gasket and needs replacing so no room for luxuries ATM.
