Re: Mash and Boil at different times

Done this a couple of times and not had a problem yet. Obviously it costs a bit more as the wort will have cooled overnight so you have to raise the temperature more than if you boiled straight after sparging.

Re: Which is your absolute favourite Mild?

+1 for the Sarah Hughes Ruby mild

Lucky me I only live 2 miles from the Beacon in Sedgley where it's brewed. In fact I think I may wander in tomorrow and try a couple

Re: Noob Hand pump help

You need a minimum of 5 posts before you can post images.

You've already done 4 so try another post and hey presto you'll be able to post your pictures.

Re: COMARK DT 400 Digital thermometer

I use mine to check the mash temp just at the start and end of the mash.

Once I've wrapped everything up i don't disturb it as all i'd be doing is losing heat whilst removing some of the insulation and opening the lid.

Re: "It's just a test, a game for us to play"

One of these

makes a great test jar - at only £1.99 it's worth getting a couple just in case
