Hi all, Has anyone removed the grey muck on the top just before the boil. Would it make any difference to the final outcome, or is it required to be left intact? Thanks Karl

Well time will tell Bung Jooce if they're going to be ok. I reckon they'll be fine. We wait.......

Sounds exactly how it's supposed to smell and taste. It'll be a good drop!!

Yapn, I tried both ways, 1. Left GrainFather chugging away boiling as I pumped it into the cube & turned it off at half full mark. 2. Turned off the boil for a couple of minutes, did a whirlpool then pumped it into the cube. The second way I feel is quite ok. But the amount of trog left in the...

Well documented Bung Jooce!! I did the same thing at my first canned brew. As I was pouring the water into the fermenter the container slipped and water went over my hands also. Oh my god I thought, that's it, this beer is doomed!!!! But nothing happened. It just worked out ok. Just lucky...

Looking forward to seeing you all in person at 11am Saturday 8 August, at Springfield ....doe!!!!

You're not wrong, wow, a guy could get hurt if you didn't have a friend to help you there, My son & I used to brew 80 ltrs every fortnight or so and there's no way a you could do that much beer on your own, having said that, some of the pulley systems that I've seen on this site are very...

Sounds a bit of business to do, but at least you got it to work, so I suppose it can be done to a real lesser extent than the traditional way. The thing is, if I hot cube, I may leave it for a couple of months and or I might have a few cubes sitting in the garage. So it's traditional way I...

Dozer71. You are right, they are concave when they're finally cooled. That's why they just use a plastic container, simple and works. Thanks for the response.

Yes, I agree with you, it all makes sense kegs are made to hold in pressure. Also, regarding the plastic thing, I'm probably worrying about nothing in the overall scheme of things. Thanks for your thoughts. It's appreciated.

Actually, that makes sense. As it cooled, it would suck air in via the ring pull valve on the lid wouldn't it. As they're designed to stop co2 etc leaking out. You've just saved me a wasted brew. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I used to squeeze the bj's out of the cube as well, to try to get all the air out and got boiling wort over my hands. Then I noticed in the brew shops the amount of air space in the commercially made cubes. So I tried just filling an inch or so from the top, screwed the lid...

As I filled my 15 lt plastic hot cube container recently, I wondered how much plastic was being infused into the beer. With the temp of the wort, around 98° some plastic must be coming off the container? It got me thinking. I brew in a grain father which is stainless, ferment in a stainless...
