Re: 3 vessel system or Grainfather?
All stainless 3V or a Ghetto build out of what you can salvage/buy cheapest ? All brew good beer, but as mentioned, a 3V is a lot more "hands on" than the click and forget system. However, in it's favour its by FAR the cheapest "pence-per-pint" bit of kit (other than BIAB) - the Grainfather being st...

Re: Would a salty gose in a corny cause corrosion problems?
Stainless is well regarded for it's resistance to chloride corrosion - especially the 316 grade most corny's seem to be made of. I'd say fine, myself.

If it's leakin then its faulty...if it not then I guess it's good. But APITA really as a dent like that will smore than likely Start leaking at some time cos of the slight cracking. I have noticed on a few (2/3) of my kegs they have been tig welded on the seams. Although the tig welding is good, it...

Relay fault. TBH, for the price, discard and replace.

Re: Upgrading to cornies - confused to say the least!
Thanks for the tip pinto, if a cylinder last for a good few months or even a couple of years then the odd trip down could probably be arranged. Mine has lasted 2 years but it's not been too heavily used. Mind you, to counter that - I use an identical cylinder on my MIG welder and the last one laste...

Re: Counter flow chilling time
TBH, simon, the "optimal" cooling time is irrelevant - the beauty with the GOAT design is that you can just keep adding chill tubes until you can cool beer at whatever flow rate you require. That would just be a matter of trial and error :) Only thing with a CFC is to make sure you are circulating t...

Re: New boiler advice
MIght I aslo suggest that given you have a nice garage space, that the car lives outside and you expand your homebrewing experience by turning it into a pub - nothing quite like serving a pint you made from your own handpull/tap,standing at your own bar....

Re: Kettle insulation
There arent many insulation options with direct flame heating - most things you could use burn when exposed to a 700 + degree flame. The only suggestion i could make is to make your pot double skinned and fill the void with heatproof material such as exhaust wadding - neither cheap nor easy. As alre...

Re: water treatment for cider?
Given the lack of Malt or hops, I think the water for cider is much less relevant that beer. Given that I only make pure juice ciders tho, it's never even entered my mind

Re: Dark fruits
Hey BQ :) nice to see you back. Basic Turbo cider, then add blackcurrant or dark fruits cordial at bottling time along with your priming sugar - about 25ml per 500ml (5%) is the sweet spot Ive found myself, so a good starting point. Also gives you free reign to try many different cordials - I reccom...
