    Sealing electric heating elements

    So what’s the general way to join and seal a heating element as shown in the picture to a cable? Need to take it to an appliance electrician with all the necessary parts. I guess the main question is what sort of enclosure do people use to seal the electrics away from hands and liquids??

    Ballast Point Grunion

    I've just tried this beer and can't stop thinking about it. Compleeeeeeeeeetely delicious. I'm now fully interested in trying a clone. Anyone had this beer or have an idea of what the grain bill? Hops are allegedly Calypso and Mosaic, but not sure about the rest. Thinking about a touch of...

    Hops alpha stability

    I noticed on some sites about hops they mention the storage stability of hops. For example this page on Columbus says that after 6 months of storage only 52% of alpha acids are (I presume) isomerisable. That seems like complete arse to me, as I've used stored hops from 3 years ago and my calcs...

    Pitching onto yeast cake

    Guys, I've got a Munich Helles fermenting away which I will rack for ageing probably this weekend. I'm pretty sure it'll be around it's last couple of gravity points by the weekend anyway. However I won't be brewing this weekend, and I want to pitch my next brew on to this delicately grown...

    Bottling using an old wine cork

    I recently brought a bottle of Bruery's Mischief (Belgian Golden Strong Ale) in an attempt to make a clone. I decided to recycle the bottle that the original came in (750 mL champagne style), because it just looks the nuts. I bottled the ale in normal 330 mL bottles with crown seals, and one...

    Anyone use their MLT as a fermenter also?

    Heard someone say they do that so they can have a bigger fermenter.

    Air in recirc lines during mash cycle (HERMS)

    To start, I've had a look here and not found an answer (though it was hard trawling through 63 pages). I've had a problem a couple of times during my mash cycle of getting air into my recirc lines - particularly between the MLT and the pump suction. I prime my pump and the cycle starts no...

    Oops. Starting mash temp too high!

    Made a mistake in starting my mash and walking away, only to return 15 mins later and see that I forget to reset my temp controller from last brew, and the temp was set to 72C. Not sure of the side effects of mashing that high for a short period. It's currently dropping about 0.5degree per...

    Tackling a Jever

    Lads, I’m tackling a Jever (northern German Pilsener, bitter and dry) and would like some input if you know anything about this beer. There’s no tried and tested clone recipe out there (that I could find). I have done some investigation on other forums and a little bit of my own thinking...

    Returning wort aerated

    In my HERMS setup I have the wort returning to the 50L MLT via a nozzle at the top of the MLT. The wort then just spouts down onto the grain bed (a drop of about 30cm). This goes on for the full duration of the mash. I wanted to know if there might be any issues with oxidation caused by this...
