How did you get on with Bratby?

think i found bratby gases on ebay but cant remember the prices im sure they deliver as well http://www.bratbygases.co.uk/

Do you already have this pot? if not the Brew builder highend pots 100% work

Just as a side note I'm sure there is simcoe in neck oil

Do you use a lot of hops in your brews? Hop forward beers do struggle to clear. At certain low temperatures you can experience chill haze.
Also how long are these beers being left and how are you conditioning them and serving them.

Just seen this hopefully not to late. I have a brew builder sight glass tube and snapped it as well. I got a length of syphon tube and wrapped PTFE tape round the end and wedged it back in to the elbow. Not a perfect fix but it allowed me to brew and have done two more brews like it since. Did the s...

It could also possibly be yeast starting off.

The Thornbridge one is back as well and they require 500ml bottles another option instead maybe

Welcome back mate when i first went A.G a few years back your posts were among the ones that help influence me to make the jump.

I use a Buffalo 3kw induction plate and a 70l insulated pot. It is a pleasure to brew on and archives a rolling boil no problem. Only issue is can be a little bit more costly to setup but means you can boil using smaller rated circuits. I currently use a 13a extension lead unwound outside.

My understanding is he was going to be getting a new shipment these pots were going to be etched on the inside. I had one of the last of the old 70l and the quality is perfect. Like said email him to see if he has a date for the new pots

Was that a 70 litre pot at capacity?

I’ll have to give the magnetic test a go tonight. Was hoping someone could turn around to say they’ve tried it with that pot and it either works or doesn't [/quote]

yes it was pretty close to full

The way to tell is to see if a magnet will stick to the base. If it does they should work on an induction plate the bases are often made of different material than the sides. I used a 70l pot yesterday on mine and just about managed to get it up to 98/99 degrees. But it should do a full boil once in...

how do you find that tap was thinking of getting on for myself.

if the element does go just cut a hole in the side with a qmax and fix a normal element
