Jim's Beer Kit

I have a BM20 with the original controller (which is fabulous). Speidel do not / will not supply these as a replacement in the event of failure. Just a pretty flashing led, Internet connected, unreliable piece of junk that I really don't fancy. Has anyone got any ideas if there are any 3rd party co...

240 volt, 15 amp. That’s Australia. They’re about 3200 watts.

The instructions for my Hanna refract.

I’m not aware of that.
Do you have a link please?

You can feather the speed a little as I do but if you go too slow the coupling slips. It’s better to throttle the outlet as they will run on a dead head all day long. Induction motors are super reliable if used within their spec. Nothing to wear out apart from bearings really. The Blichmann is the ...

I googled metasilicatate the other night and its exspensive at 10 quid for 500g and the coshh is bloody scary

We buy sodium percarbonate and sodium metasilicate in bulk (ie 25kg bags) and mix it in a 2:1 ratio of sodium percarbonate to sod...

Barneey, what's the length of the flexible stainless?

The OG was 1.098

Thanks Ian, that's massive attenuation.

You should have used this yeast. http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y386/Lastfrontiersman1/DSC_0163_zpsqynjz4ao.jpg Its one that I recovered from a thirty five year old bottle of Courage Russian Stout. It doesn't stop eating until it gets down to 1.014 :!: It is now available commercially. What wa...

Floyd, how about something like this http://kegking.com.au/mkii-high-temperature-magnetic-drive-pump-1-1-amp.html . (Please note I have no affiliation with this company). There are plenty of people in OZ using these with good results. They also have a stainless steel head option, if you are into "bl...

Looks like a Pegas counter pressure filler to me.
