Is something like this good for holding the hops (the larger 7cm version)? https://www.spotlightstores.com/kitchen-dining/food-preparation/utensils-gadgets/metaltex-mesh-tea-ball-45-cm/p/80299274 Though I guess adding hops to it throughout the boil would be hard work...

It's not a slippery slope its a freaking cliff! It's not the right time for the kettle damoninga but at least now I know the for sale section exists. Simmo I got one recipe batch bagged together and the other batch of ingredients are all vacuum sealed separately to avoid this, thanks :)...

Well the ingredients are ordered, I ended up ordering enough for two batches. I like your thinking but I wasn't going to run out and buy the inkbird just yet... At this time of year I'm pretty confident of being able to maintain a steady temperature without it.

I'm glad I asked, thanks guys! I'll up the mash temperature to 66 (so I leave AA@ 75%?) I'll have a look at beersmith too. I still hadn't decided on the no chill vs whacking the pot in the sink of cold water. Brewmate definitely throws a wobbly with the IBUs if I click the No Chill box with...

Temperature controller options noted! The ink-bird looks like the go for me. Does the recipe and ingredients I've picked all look OK? I'm ready to click the check out button if this is looking OK. Do I need to go back and work out my evaporation rate for my pot on my stove or can this be...

I'm in Mount Gambier Any suggestions on a SA supplier I was having a look at hoppy days (weighed and milled) so I can get started.

Thanks guys, you rock! :super: No milling service available at the LHBS so I think I'll order a carona style mill and some grain and have at it. Anyone running one of these...

Here is the selection from the LHBS

Typical brew temperatures (now looking like this is still too warm) Pitch temperature was approx 26C (stick on thermometer) Temperature dropped to around 23C by morning Steadied around 20-22C for remainder Gibbo, thanks for the pot mods! Yeah I'll give the insulation some space away from the...

Wow, thanks for all the awesome replies! Regarding temperature control guys, umm it's manual... I've tried several solutions. Unless it's the peak of summer the challenge in Mount Gambier is keeping the temperature high enough. In the past I tried an aquarium heater in the wort or putting the...

Hey Guys and Gals, I'm Shaz from Mount Gambier in SA. I've done a few extract brews over the years but I've really only been happy with the taste of one batch (a 150 lashes clone) the rest had a bit of a cidery taste that I didn't like, probably my fault! I thought I'd give BIAB a go and I...
