    For sale - Hop rhizomes $10

    Just giving drsmurto a plug, bought some Vic a few weeks ago from. Outstanding quality and packaging. You would be very unlucky to suffer damage to rhizomes via post as a result of the packaging efforts.

    How do you O2.

    I don't yet, but have been contemplating making my own o2 with hydrogen peroxide n yeast, filling a balloon then into wort. Thinking will be cheaper and relatively easy. Only early stages of research but the basic chemistry is safe lol

    Saison headache

    From my limited experience it Sounds like a fusal alcohol issue, often associated with higher ferm temps(which I know Saison's work off) so might have under pitched and yeast spent itself before it could clean them up. Not sure if there is a fix for this, or if it even helps. Is not norm for...

    A little help please with wiring up a PID

    Interesting reading, in a much simplified circuit not being 100% familiar with the inkbird but in relation to the mentioned contactor. Other than the initial on/start up switch could you use the pid as the switch through a contactor to the element instead of the SSR.

    Thermowell in fermenter

    I use both makes no noticeable difference. And that's going from one to the other for secondary (which I have stopped doing as well with no noticeable difference yet)

    Herms system.

    Realise this is a bit past dates but why not heat HLT to initial temp say 65 ready to go. Bring mash water up to temp in Boil tank, pump into mash tun from it, let rest, swap hoses as rests then start your cycle. That's what I'm doing and works fine, or have I missed something.

    Controller amps and elements

    Running a 2400 and 2x keg king mkII pumps on a 10amp in hlt together with no probs and a 3600 on 15amp in boil. No pids but all works okay.

    Grain or water first? Does it matter

    Excellent thanks heaps, will give underletting a go, am running a herms, I have been filling pre heated MT(cooler) from boil kettle when at temp with herms/hlt ready to start at mash temp once mixed So underletting should work well for me.

    Grain or water first? Does it matter

    When mashing in, does it matter which goes in first if your pumping water in from bottom of tun? Is one better than the other?
