Jim's Beer Kit

I still like the look of the ESF over the ‘stock pot’ look, but I know there a personal thing.

Without the FV I think it’s about £2300 as is.

FV is somewhere about the £480 mark.

Not far off. Might be able to get a sack of MO from the change

The current 60l offering from Elite with stainless FV (cooling coils and heating wire)

Just sent off for a quote for a 60L

Yeah, it suppresses ester production so can ferment warmer, faster and carbonates quicker

I currently have 10L of smoked beer under 20psi at room temp fermenting with CML hell pipsner yeast. The other 15L of the batch is fermenting @ 18oC with Lallamand kolsch. Will be interesting to see the difference

Now chaps. Fired up the brew kettle the other day to get a smoked beer on the go. Ended up splitting the batch between Lallamand kolsch and CML Hell yeasts. The former is in the Ferm fridge at 18, the latter fermenting on a corni at room temp, but at 20psi. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210302/...

Well, after a week ish in the cold, this is tasting very nice. Clean, but with a slight ale eater. Tastes very German/European ale. Slight lagery. I’d like to maybe swap out the bobek for maybe a hallertau or a saaz addition to see how that goes. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200925/c312c70a350...

Sample out this afternoon. Down to 1.008 so 80% attenuation. Still yeasty but tastes very German/Nobel lagery! Very happy with it!
