Re: 2 batches poured down the drain!

I think that the answer lies here.
"I had stuck a supposedly waterproof probe on it - it's in a plastic tube which is clearly leaky as it's full of liquid"
Much better to attach the probe to the outside of the FV. Or even better install a thermowell.

Re: Priming a barley wine

I recommend 20 gr white sugar dissolved in a little boiling hot water and stirred gently into the 10 litres of beer before bottling.

"Filter" & "battery" are not even close on my phone.
How did it do that?
I think artificial intelligence (it got that first time) might have some challenges 😁😁
Battery/Better could be the problem

Re: All Grain Yeast Starter

In the past I used to do a 10 litre mash with pale malt with a gravity of 1042. Then I stored it in 1.25 litre plastic water bottles in the freezer until needed. Then I took one out and let it defrost before boiling and adding the yeast.

Re: Grain Gorilla

I have a Schmidling mill and it came with two O rings fitted to the passive roller. These perform the roll of motorising both rollers. My advice would be to fit these to your mill.

Saving yeast

I know That I posted this a couple of years ago but here it is again. I have several strains of yeast that I use regularly and this is one that I saved in 2013 and it is still going strong. WLP 037. 36 houres into the ferment remove some wort from below the krausen and put it in a bottle like this. ...
