No affiliation blah blah. An acquaintance pointed this out to me. Looks good. This may be old news here but thought I'd share just in case. http://www.farra.co.nz/productdetails.php?page=1&numproj=5

Well that left a lot to be desired.... A few notes here on today's batch. Feel free to tear apart any of my possible solutions to some of the problems I had :unsure: Oh and ghetto, in the sense that it's all mismatched, bits n pieces that have been collected over the years. Decided not to...

Hey all, I joined AHB around 12 months ago but haven't been reading much here until recently. As with any forum, there's a lot of people posting, some with more trustworthy opinions than others. 1. Who's opinion on here do you trust? 2. On what subject/s do you find them knowledgable? No...

Anyone using a Maximite to control their rig? I'm working on a RIMS (would work for HERMS too) controller. Initially just doing the code to control the heat exchanger using 3 DS18b20 temperature probes, HX in, HX out, and mash temperatures. Also log the temperature readings to a file for later...

Hey all, I have some hop pellets that have been out of the vacuum packaging for about 12 months. Stored in the fridge in an airtight container. I want to use them for bittering an IIPA. Will I need to add extra to account for storage degradation? If so, how approx how much extra? Thanks :D

Bear with me...... We just bought a new car and I was telling a mate that I wasn't too excited about it... 4 wheels and an engine to carry the family around, and he was saying he names his cars..and was telling me we should name our new car... It got me thinking that if I were to name any...

Ok, so I'm nearing completion of my RIMS and started thinking about how to use it. I'm assuming that the procedure would go something like this: Heat liquor to somewhere near the initial rest temp on the schedule Add grist Recirc with output temp @ desired rest temp for duration of rest (or...

Hey all, Sook alert, woe is me! LOL I've recently (last 2 years ish) found myself in a position of having a bit more time on my hands and figure I'll get back into a hobby. The girls are in school, work is stable, money isn't so tight etc.... So last year I started thinking about my old...

Hey all, Does anyone have any recommendations for books covering advanced brewing topics? Things like mash chemistry, formulas for everything from OG to carbonation etc....? Not a how-to book, more of a why-you-do-it book. I realise the web is my best resource, but I'm looking for something I...

Hey all, I'm finally making some real headway in my build so I figured I'd upload some pics for critique. Please feel free to point out any flaws in my design. My build is the result of a downgrade from a previous large batch size approach, to my current target of small, fast, easy to use, and...

Hey all, Has anyone had any luck finding affordable flow sensors or detectors? I'd like to be able test the flow through the RIMS and at the very least detect blockages. I've seen some clear plastic ones around but can't find a link right now. But they might not have been food grade anyway...

Hey all, As my RIMS is progressing nicely (bought most of the bits but un-assembled), I'm turning my attention towards thoughts on controlling the output temperature of the heat tube. I intend to place two temperature probes. One on the inlet and one on the outlet. I intend to program my...

Hey all, I got my ingredients in the mail today. :). Haven't craftbrewed for 7-8 years and I'm really looking forward to getting back into it! Anyway, I opened up the hops to have a whiff, never tried Galaxy or Nelson Sauvin so I got some, along with POR. I was surprised to note the POR at only...

Hello all, I'm upgrading my old CF chiller. I understand plate chillers clog fairly easily and am aiming an an inline filter of some sort. While at it I'll make 2, one for the chiller and one for the RIMS. So does anyone have any advice regarding which to steer clear of and which work well? I...

Hey all, I'm planning a return to brewing after a long absence. I searched the forums but found no mention of anyone's experience with http://minikeg.net.au. Has anyone used these? What was your experience? I want to avoid a dedicated kegging setup ATM and also avoid bottling. I would empty one...

Hi All, This post doesn't really fit in any of the categories LOL. This week I've rekindled my interest in brewing. Previously (8 years ago) I was all grain brewing and thoroughly enjoying home crafted beers. Then we started a family and it seemed selfish to continue spending so much time and...
