Re: Brewzilla Bottom Filter Plate doesn't fit Grainfather

I also bought one from aliexpress and stopped using it. It killed the boil for me, it still let lots of pellet matter through and increased the scorching on the bottom. I would just try to get your money back. Additional filters like this are about stopping Whole hops blocking the pump, if used for...

Re: Brewzilla Bottom Filter Plate doesn't fit Grainfather

FWIW it has to be bent a bit to fit a Brewzilla too. Speak to Angel to confirm

Re: Ro or tap

The sulphate chloride ratio is a subtlety. Alkalinity first, Calcium next. Low minerals is just not that important. Unless brewing a US style.

Graham's drop down notes 5 and 6 need to be read!! They are a good starting point. And are best not further complicated😎😉

Re: Ro or tap

Far too much waste water using RO for my preference😉 CRS works too but loads too much sulphate for me often.

Re: Ro or tap

Snip As to sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, they are not used by homebrewers in the States, and I don't believe that we even have a means whereby to purchase them in food grade versions. I use acid malt and/or 88% lactic acid. Concentrated Phosphoric Acid scares me. Concentrated versions of Hydrochl...

Re: Ro or tap

Interesting MME spreadsheet, sadly no CRS or AMS or H2SO4 or HCl acid additions. That's in common with many water calculators. Those acids would all affect the critical sulphate and chloride balance, not just alkalinity MME has CRS/AMS. I agree that it has no accommodation for straight sulfuric or ...

Re: Conical Recommendations

Just the same as Kev's. With a coil from Homebrew builder. The 310 cooler is controlled by a STC100. Various relays to either cool or heat, via bathroom radiator heater in a copper pipe. Not sure I could build it again. Think it was Barneey on the old HB Forum who showed how. There's a thread here, ...
