I have 2 of the following AC motors for sale. Would most likely suit a motor to run a mill. I am selling the motors only. I will give the SSR and Capacitor for free. I am unsure on the condition of capacitor, should be able to start motor under not much load. I would like $70 each for the...

I have lately not been to concerned about mashing out as I batch sparge. First batch of sparging at higher temps will loosen up the sugars. Decoction is boiling of the mash fluid not the grains. Is it not the grains that hold the components for astringency? If you don't get the grain to temp...

I run at 14c for 3 weeks. Beer comes out clean. Haven't fermented hotter though with it.

You might be able to put a 90 degree elbow and run the bazooka around the side of pot. Also with a good whirlpool might help.

+1 Also is easier to tilt up pot to drain if required.

On the weekend I dug up my POR plants due to moving house soon. I have nowhere to store them, so they are up for grabs. First in best dressed. PM me for address. David

With my harvest of POR flowers I solely use it all late. I don't like overly bitter beers so I use 1g/l at 15, 10 and 5g/l at 0. Then no chill. Usually a lager sometimes an ale with a base of 93% pilsner and 7% carahell. This is my house beer until I run out. I find no harshness. You do get a...

With most of those scales they have an auto off feature after 60 seconds. If they run to minus weight you can work backwards after turning on (not sure how far in minus they will weigh) or lift your hlt off and on the scales after turning it on. I recently invested in a 5l jug, wasn't cheap but...

If i remember correctly I read that drying the hops should not exceed 40c. Above this you will degrade some of the volatile oils in the hops. And when drying I work on a loss of 75% of original weight, which will give you approx. 8-10% residual moisture. Any drier and you also risk again, loss...

The accuracy isn't very good -/+ 0.2 Ph.

I had the same problem. I couldn't find any mounting kits. I went with 20mm pipe saddles and cut up a cheap rubber door stop.

The highly experienced lab people at fermentis, lallemand danstar and other dried yeast manufactures would be able to give you a mountain load of PROOF. How about you go ask them. It is there business to study and research that kind of thing. Edit: They would have plenty of proof but may not...

Exactly. If it passes the tongue and we go back for more. Success! :chug:

Well, science worries about the yeast health. We as brewers are more concerned with the resulting beer. Science side would be concerned over a couple million of dead yeast. Home brewers not so much when the resulting beer tastes ok. But to what level does it taste ok. How closely are we brewers...

I have noticed also that different brewers have different routines and time frame of what happens after flame out. Some wait up to 10 minutes for convection to stop then whirlpool and wait 5-10 min. Then chill or no chill. Where I used to try and get my wort after flame out of kettle in 5-10...

I will clarify that "I don't stress about yeast not starting until about day 3 where I raise the temp a little to increase activity if needed." should of been written "I don't stress about visible signs of fermentation I.E Krausen, until close to the 3rd day." Checking gravity is the best way...

I was brewing a lager that I didn't check for 2 weeks only to realise that the gravity was not moving at all. I agitated the brew and raised the temp up 5c for 5 days, which got it going then dropped the temp again. The brew actual turned out good with no infection which I was amazed about. I...

It all comes down to picking 1 method of adjusting for the loss and being consistent. Then adjust the water ratio as you see fit and learn which works best for you.
