Cracking build.

Didn't fancy it in yellow though?

I haven't tried this myself but have a fair deal of experience with Raspberry pi's, 9 times out if 10 it's the SD card, I'd try another one.

I've had my eye on one of those for a while!

How tall is it with and without the airlock? I've always wondered if it would fit in my fridge.

Cheers!

I'm lucky in that my own water has basically nothing in it, which is why I'm so interested in calcium additions from salts. My last few beers have had a sourness to the bitterness if that makes sense, so when BS3 gave far higher predicted numbers it caused me to pause and think that I'd maybe been a...

The Greg Hughes single hop Amarillo is fantastic, I've brewed this a few times

Thanks everyone for their replies and thoughts. I've gone off the idea of the Aliexpress SS CFC now , I'm much more inclined to try and make my own wit some copper pipe, hose and fittings. Chastuck - that is a thing of beauty! Kev888 - i'd discounted a plate chiller because of sanitation concerns, m...

If your water flow rate is low it would be worth getting your water board to do a flow test. There's a minimum flow rate which the board is required to provide. Can't remember what it is. It will be tested for free. If it's a problem with the supply it will be fixed for free. The flow rate here is ...

Hi, I've been considering a few options for a counterflow chiller recently, buying a grainfather one (expensive!) , making my own etc. I've seen a few stainless ones on Aliexpress such as this - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Stainless-Steel-304-Counterflow-Wort-Chiller-Brewing-Equipment-Garden-Hos...

Wow that looks a belter! Does it stay in the pot? Is the pot used for the boil? Interested!

Share build pictures please! I'm considering building one myself and would love a look at how you're getting on,

Cheers

I'd thought of this myself but the hose connections look a bit non standard, can any owners post some pictures for us?

Cheers
