    Hey All, Just got a 7.6L pot from Big W and want to know how much 1/2" copper tube you guys have managed to fit in there for your HERMs set ups? Is 7-8m being a bit too optimistic? Cheers

    Planning on the RobPo robust porter this weekend and after looking at the guidelines US hops can be used and remain true to style.

    Chiller Idea

    So been thinking a bit about chilling and through research found the following: they waste water (unless saved for future use) and they only cool to what ever temp is coming out of you tap, if your lucky. So, what if you had a copper coil and mounted this into a bucket with a compression...

    Welding Inside Kettle

    So how many guys here have the fittings welded on both the inside and outside of there kettle? I'm confident welding but to get into the inside of the keg down low is going to be a PITA. So, is there a problem with not welding the inside? Cheers

    Hop Additions From Chill To No Chill

    Hi all, I'm gonna brew this recipe tomorrow, Beer (scroll to the bottom), but will be no-chilling. So, in order to achieve the same IBU (i'm going slightly more) is it alright to reduce the intial hop addition to allow for the recommended late addition in the hope that you will still get the...
