Re: EQUIPMENT UPGRADE
That's a lot of boiler for 2.4kw!! It will be interesting to see if it will boil 70litres. I agree. I have a 60 ltr plastic boiler I built over a decade ago with one 2.1 kW element.... But a second element was soon added even for 25 ltr brew lengths. Running two elements for at least the first 30 m...

Re: What size fermentation bin?
Cheap plastic storage boxes with the food-safe symbol make great FVs. I've used an 80 ltr one which was about £6. a 10 litre food safe bucket with lid is £4.89 delivered from ebay.

Re: Supplies?
I'll add Ballihoo for a wide range of kit. Large mail order warehouse on the outskirts of Cheddar. Only 8 miles from me so I can pop in for bits I need urgently.

Re: Cornelius Keg Cons?
I used kegs for three(?) years but sold my shiny stuff to revert to plastic BIAB boiler and bottles earlier this year purely because I'm not drinking as much beer. Some very good points have been made already Cost - I got back what I had paid overall for cylinder (£5 deposit)/gauge/steel boiler & ma...

Re: The BrewTools Fanboy Thread
Yes, utter tosh. There is no way this can produce better beer without it being encircled by a ring of my magic beans to ward off evil spirits. Only £99, I accept PayPal.

Re: Compensating for excessive evaporation
Remember kit brewers add huge amounts of tap water without boiling it.

Re: Compensating for excessive evaporation
If your beer turns out fine why change? Your "excess spargings" have been held at 60C plus for some time which is probably good enough but not as near sterile as wort after an open boil. I don't know about tannins. Assuming boiler capacity is your problem, I would keep topping up during the boil exc...

Re: Stuck Ferment or Sticky Airlock?
I can't see how surface tension could prevent brisk activity.
Perhaps activity is reducing overnight then increasing during the day when the temperature is higher.

Re: Bottling, Bottle Conditioning and Oxidation?
WIth my last brew I skipped the bottling bucket. I cold crashed then attached the bottling wand to the FV tap. The bottles had previously been loaded with sugar solution via syringe. I work out the carbonation I want then make up a solution such that 5ml is correct for a 500ml bottle. I saw a bit of...

Re: RO water filter
Just an update on RO filter systems. I've used mine for 30 brews in five years and have not changed any filters. Salifert tests before most brews confirm the method of mixing (e.g.) 10% very hard 270 tap water with 90% RO aiming for 27 alkalinity is getting predictable results. Today I remembered I ...
