    Fermentation Fridge

    I just use a heat pad, on its side a bit away from the fermenter. So in your pic in the OP, it would be vertical on the left side of the fridge. Works a treat.

    double brew days

    3V Herms here, often do double days but the limiting factor is power. I need 4 x 10A elements at once (HLT, HEX, 2xKettle) but only have 2 x 10A circuits. So I have to juggle a bit. One day I'll splash out and setup a gas kettle. I find if I setup and weigh grain (or even mill it) the night...

    Have I mentioned I'm opening a brewery?

    You are correct, it does, and yes as you've pointed out here are ways around it! I'm secretly rooting for the Belgian IPA. The one I have in mind is quite light and summery.

    Have I mentioned I'm opening a brewery?

    Hey Ben We're brewing at the Australian Brewery, in 4000L batches. I'm not aware of anyone who could do batches that small for you. There are a few brewpubs and the like that have 200L systems but the reality is, because their system is so small, I suspect they wouldn't have spare capacity. St...

    Have I mentioned I'm opening a brewery?

    Well, I am! Been working on it for the better part of this year, but everything is coming together now so I am more comfortable announcing it. Stage 1 is gypsy brewing. Our liquor license is getting close and we are planning to launch in November with 3 beers. 2 core beers and a seasonal. We...
