    I bought an original malt pipe from Grain and Grape in Melbourne. It was $130 + postage and took only 2 weeks to arrive. Call and talk to Chris.

    Hi Steve Forgive my ignorance, but what is the RC snubber circuit used for, or what is it's purpose. Thanks

    I used a false bottom for both the upper and lower filter plate. They do the job pretty well and I have done a few brews with them now. The only downfall I see to the domed shape is the grain fills inside the dome and the wort takes the path of least resistance which is up the sides of the malt...

    Matho Why does the mash in have an adjustable timer and not just prompt you for the malt when the temp has been reached. Cheers

    Yeah, yeah I know, the lcd screen isn't straight, the buttons are in a different position & there are 3 red & one black instead of the other way around. Bit of a shoddy job at putting it together but I'm pretty stoked that it's finished. Some like form over function others like function over...

    Hi Matho Can you indicate what part of the program changes the run time before a pump rest and the duration of the pump rest itself. Had a good brew day today. The new pump worked a treat and gained 82% efficiency on a wheat beer. Cheers Paul

    I started with 25 liters of chilled water approx 3-4 deg c. When the temp comes down and the water gets hot, I pump off the hot water into a container, then fill with tap water and start adding the ice. I then cool the initial hot water and use it next time. Using the garden hose wastes too...

    I use ice that I make by filling 3 litre ice cream containers which I keep replacing as they melt. If the water level gets a little high in the esky I just flip the return line over to an empty bucket and and drain some off. Last time I brewed I had 7 blocks of ice and this brought the temp down...

    I have a little spare time over the xmas break so I knocked up a mobile stand for the brewer which is at a good height to lift the malt pipe and also place the controller at a more comfortable level. Also made room for some storage underneath and a place to put the esky when chilling the wort...

    The little brown pump will be the weak link. Ask me how I know? Mine didn't last the first brew session.

    On my Clone I used a 50L pot and cut a 150mm diameter hole in the lid. With a 2400w element and 30L of wort this gives a very good even rolling boil. If I remove the lid I get a similar boil to what angus has explained. The hole in the lid still lets out quite an amount of steam. I did an...

    How do you add inventory. When selecting the inventory button and select Add Inventory I get runtime error 94 - Invalid use of null.

    Hi Matho I have been through a full run today with PWB to clean the whole system and have a question to ask. During the mash stages when the unit is switching the heat on and off to maintain temperature. Is it possible to alter the time when the heat is on and off. At the moment it is on for 1...

    Maybe best left for dry hopping in the keg then.

    I think I will try these hop balls for my hop additions and keep things nice and clean. Just extended the chain with some stainless steel tig welding wire.

    Anyone looking for silicone seals to put on the bottom of the malt pipe should try Jehbco in Melbourne as they make hundreds of different extrusions in silicone rubber. Jehbco Silicone extrusions
