Seriously cheap, I just bought a SS brewtech 7 for around $500 I love it but feckn me thats a lot of dough when your see this

I had something similar happen to me a while back, there is a plug in the PCB that had come loose, if you open the PCB and see a plug undone then just plug it back in, it should be fairly obvious.

Resurrecting an old thread here, I'm about to ferment my first Belgian (Leffe Redieuse clone), I have 4 kegs but only enough fridge space for 3 hence I don't want to tie a fridge keg up for 6m to condition a beer unnecessarily. Once I ferment, keg and put some CO2 in the keg is it OK to just...

Some absolute bargains here, the BM and the SS conical are astounding, shame your in QLD, if in VIC I would have snapped up.

I don't think its the volume of hops causing the issue either, my last brew had 200g in the boil and drained no problem, yesterday I had about 50g and it was slow until I did the paddle trick, then it started to flow rapidly, this was hot cube so no cold break issues, its got to be some form of...

How think is your mash with 8kg in it? assuming you would need ~23L of water to cover that (I had 24L in the 6.7kg), are you not then very close to the top of the tun? even dialing the pump to almost a trickle I found it would eventually come upto the holes and over the sides.

I had a go at making invert sugar yesterday, unfortunately I don't have a thermometer that goes over 100C so I couldn't get accurate temp, I followed the instructions on the web but I ended up with almost clear liquid after about 45m, I also checked the PH and it was 1.9, nowhere near the 7-9...

I brewed a Belgian yesterday and came up against a few issues, first the recipe called for 20m at 45C, I have the older model and it will not allow you to go below 50C, probably not a massive issue. The grain bill was 6.7kg and to be frank thats too big for this machine, I had to have the top...

My own personal experience with no sparge in the 30l was poor efficiency, I've gone back to sparging myself, yes it's longer but I also had issues with the full volume size, it was always up around the mash tun holes and I found when you turn on the recirc pump it went over them which meant some...

Just a thought on 1) could it be temperature causing the difference? I think @ 100C you would have 4% expansion, your end of mash would be >65C so it will have some expansion. I am not sure how BS calculates these values and if it takes temp into account (I suspect not).

I was in KK a couple of weeks ago and did see them in stock then.

Yes I use the white plastic cap to prevent grain going down the pipe

No I've moved onto no chill, I can only get down to about 35c with the immersion chiller and a lot of water so still not pitchable anyway. Hopefully I've now found the best method.

Did a double brew day today, first was just a basic pale, only 20g of hops drained perfectly and super quick so very happy with that. Second was a double IPA , 200g hops straight in the boil, was a bit apprehensive but again drained perfectly and really quick. I've concluded it's worse to use a...

You definitely want the lid off during the boil, unwanted chemicals (dimethyl sulfide (DMS)) get boiled off and you want them in the atmosphere not on your lid where they will condensate and drop back into the boil.

Ive never had the bottom fall through in 18m so I suspect you had something wrong, it goes on the inside of the malt pipe and rests on the lip. I've never had an issue with the pump either and I have done some seriously hoppy brews. I'm still struggling with draining though, the bazooka is...

Here you go

You should have a two long SS pieces with threads on them and 3 SS connectors, you should have 1 connector on the bottom screwed into the longer piece which you then put through the false bottom, you should then use the middle connector to connect the two long pieces together, after that put the...

A couple of notes having had my guten about 18m now, never had an issue with hooks at all, I've never had the lower grain holder fall through either and unless it did your not going to get grain in your wort unless your doing s large volume with the top plate off and some slips through the...

I just go with the volume recomended by beersmith which is based on the equipment profile so it probably just needs some more fine tuning.
