Do you know where it meets these days? I think it's changed since the last time some one tried to get me to go and I think it's time I tried to make the room for it.

I put a pivot table on the spreadsheet for you to make it easy to keep an eye on the total request for each hop. It will need updating as people add rows but that should be a case of updating the data range in the pivot sidebar.

Mine didn't. I just bought a feeler gauge set of ebay for a couple of £.

With my old mash tun and conditioning the malt I could go as low as 0.7mm. But I've had to dial back now I use a grainfather, I'm currently on 0.9mm but think I need to get closer to 1mm. I've noticed that the efficiency is actually getting better with the gf as I get wider. I suspect this is due to...

Thanks, I put 5psi into them empty and submerged them - no bubbles and they held pressure overnight. Now got 1 filled with stout and one with a brambling x single hop red ale I transferred from a king keg.

I've finally got some gas for the cornies I bought in the cheap sale a few weeks ago. I've replaced the o-rings that obviously damaged and given them a light coating of keg lube. To test them out, I've filled them to just under the input post with water and hit them with a 30psi blast. I've waited a...

Nice shiny stuff.

Are you going to be the first billion dollar valued software defined brewery, that operates in the cloud, disrupting your rivals with your velocity of delivering of value to customers and general ability to out innovate the rest of the market with your use of DevHops practices?

Looks good. I tried a bottle of my first attempt the other day (a take on Seymours citra gold with galaxy instead of citra), tastes a bit rough still and not too clear. Needs a bit more time I think. Got Deebee's Storhalviem stout fermenting right now as my second attempt. This weekend I'll be doing...

I bought designing great beers, Radical Brewing is something I was thinking about getting.

I have the water, yeast and hops books (sadly unread except anout 50% of the hops book). Is the malt one worth getting?

I don't like following recipes and tend to use them as a kicking off point. My beers range from OK to excellent, more towards the ok though. I'm looking for some reading material that will teach me more about how to design recipes. Any suggestions? I've taken a look at amazon, but there's just so mu...

After a rinse or two with plain water rinse with a a few litres of water with a campden tablet dissolved in it.

It would be great if it could be put in the original housing that the original controller comes in. I'm sure it will be possible with the right arduino unit/

So far it's not going well. It took ages to get up to 66 (I doughed in at 50 to avoid burning my fingers) and I'm constantly adjusting the flow rate of the pump to stop too much wort going down the overflow pipe. I think the latter is due to a too fine crush not allowing good flow through the grain ...

good excuse to order a mill
