Hi Bierme. I have a recipe for this that I have done a few times and I like it. I would more than likely have got it originally on here somewhere. It may well be one that you have come across in the older posts. But for what it's worth, as I said, I like it. Recipe attached as a pdf file out of...

Hi all. I also BIAB in a concealed element urn and did a 20% wheat and 20% rye golden ale not so long back. I don't step mash in the urn. I use a cake cooler rack on the bottom during the mash to keep the bag off the bottom but take it out for the boil. During the boil I always give the element...

I've got one of these and it's more like around 40 minutes for me. I'm down Geelong way so a bit cooler than Perth no doubt.

Thanks for organising this DaveHQ. I haven't even got to get mine out of the boxes yet, but appreciate your effort in getting this happening.

DaveHQ - the 26th should be good for me. I haven't paid yet so can you pm me the payment details?

DaveHQ. I dropped you a pm a week or 2 ago but didn't hear back. In case you didn't get it can you please put me down for 4 of the 19 litre KK kegs? Can I pick up at Grain & Grape? Let me know details for making payment. thanks

I have one of these and have done 4 or 5 brews in it. I can get a rolling boil but I need to have the temp set as high as it will go (says 110). The manual with mine says that if you set a temp at or above 100 it will not cut out, but mine will unless it's turned right up. I have had it cut out...

I got a Buffalo from Nisbets late last year. I've done 4 brews in it now. The 3rd one it cut out about 10 minutes into the boil. I used my coopers long handle plastic stirrer to scrape at the element cover and it started up again and kept going through for the rest of the boil. Before the last...

Thanks guys. Specialty beers and portability makes sense. Not having kegs I guess I haven't had to face these situations. Good info to take on board now as it might influence what I do later.

Hi all. Just been looking at the Keg Bulk Buy that daveHQ is organising here. I'm still a bottler but hope one day to be a kegger. What really caught my attention was how popular the 9.5 litre kegs are over the 19 litre kegs. Also, how much more popular the AEB ones are over the Keg King ones...

Just a follow up on my Buffalo. Used it again yesterday for the second time and no problems. I did have to set it at the full 110 to stop the thermometer cutting it out while boiling. But it did the job. That's 2 brews down and many more to come I hope.

There's a bit more info about the Buffalo urn in the Website deals thread. I got one and have had a couple of minor issues but another poster had his fail part way through a boil. I was told by Nisbets that they had problems with them a while back but all current stock have been electrically...

Just to add a bit more info on this. Thanks to this urn being posted here I also grabbed one a couple of weeks ago in store (Mel), along with a colander for draining the bag after mash. After a trial run with water, I have used it for one brew. The urn has a heat indicator light that is supposed...
