Hey Mate,

it's not actually mine, a fellow ahb'er (ant) who is living in the states bought it over last time he was here for us to use, Darren (Ausdb) made up a really nice copper manifold for it





i think it's quoted as being 136 Quarts

[randyrob]

we've been told brewers in the states are using them for 2 x 25kg bags in the mash, it held the 38kg of grain and water we threw in it no problems and made brewing a big batch quite easy

perhaps you're onto something warren, every brewers dream to be burried in a giant mash tun!

 

[Gerard_M]

Well it is very grey outside, the wind is blowing & the rain is coming in sideways. This is the Warrnambool I was told about. Today is to be spent in the garage brewing pilot brews. I may even attempt a 45 litre batch of the Dirty Angel, although the mash tun may not be up to that much grain, so I may have to have a think about it. I guess we can do a double batch of the Pale Ale first, & follow it with the Dirty Angel. That should give me just on 75 litres for the day.
Cheers

Thanks RR, nice unit.

It is not quite as big as the one I made for the ISB brew days, its a modified 200l drum B) . Pics are here, here, here , here and here

sorry for the thread hijack.

 

[Cortez The Killer]

See if you can get your hands on BYO 150 Clone recipes - it has a heap of Americanised styles.

My recipe was based in part on "New World Ported" listed in there.

Cheers

And to think i copped some criticism for suggesting the use of amarillo in a porter

Looks damn tasty Cortez!

And i am liking the look of your dark ale, have one pencilled in for my next brew.

hehe looks great, what did u use for a manifold? and did it work as expected?
i've got a 180L Steam jacketed kettle i'm looking at converting into a mash tun but thats still 20L short of yours
ah well can't always have the biggest willy around

Used 1' stainless braid (sourced from Earls Braided Hoses). there is a pic in post 21 here . It worked a treat - from memory we got over 80% efficiency. It held temp well too. To up the volumes more I really need a bigger kettle (500l would be good) :lol: cause the ussue at present is more logistics of having 3 kettles and the OH&S aspects of moving lots of hot water around.

good luck with your steam jacketed tun project - how are you looking to maintain temp - pump hot water through the jacket?

Hey Mate,

yeah thats pretty much the idea, prewarm it before use and then circulate some hot water through to maintain temps,
i'd also like to add a motor to the top for stirring it to keep a consistent temp throughout.

here's a piccy of her:



it just needs a scrub, a manifold and i can at least give it a maiden voyage!

 

[crozdog]

Good score RR. What are you using for a kettle?

i've got a 98L Robinox and a 60L Kongs Special!

 

[crozdog]

trust me - you'll need a bigger kettle to fully utilise the capacity of the new tun. My 180l pot could only handle half of the output (ie 2nd runnings) of the big brew day last year. we needed to use a 2 more kettles to deal with the 1st runnings.

RDO today so I put down 2 brews, first up was a Premium American Lager which is pretty much a yeast starter for an up coming Bo Pils and Munich Dunkel. Next was a Saison that I plan to secondary until next summer with the dregs of some Orval bottles. Both are happily sitting at their fermentation temp with yeast pitched

Jye that's alarmingly similar to the one I just kegged. Difference being I used Green Bullet for Bittering and Hersbrucker plugs for aroma... The heatwave down here pushed the S189 to 15 degrees over the course of the week (pitched @ 8 degrees). Mine came out alarmingly similar to an Oz Premium Lager like Hahn or Cascade.

I've worked out if S189 ferments a little warmish it pushes out trace amounts of "wet dog" that I associate with mega-lagers.

Other than that the grainbill of mine is dead identical to yours.

You'll definitely have a beer to give your non HB guests.
