After 18 months I've got my home made press finished, my lovely daughter got the sewing machine out and converted a net curtain to an apple pulp bag (she also made me a dry hopping bag from the remainder of the curtain for my ag brews). press basket with filter bag and pulp http://i61.tinypic.com/av...

Well in that case....
...I am completely unqualified to comment
sorry

Just No! I did this when I built my HLT from a Burco33l. The suction (venturi effect?) when the tap is open empties the sight glass completely, making it impossible to judge how much is being run off until you close the valve again. I struggled for a while to restrict the flow in and out of the sigh...

Not sure about the website but these crates hold 12 wine bottles, they nest inside each other when empty.

I use 1.5m of it in my fermentation fridge, cable-tied in a loop around a wire shelf, the shelf helps spread the heat about. Very happy with it.

Hi Serum,
I bought 1 sack pale malt and that has been crushed just right a far as i can see, I also bought a kilo of crystal malt and although I haven't started it yet it looks to be good too.

Going back to basics, if the volts/amps driving the pump are fine then either the pump impeller is worn in some way, there's been a build up of friction which slows the pump down or there is an obstruction somewhere in the circuit, I'd (carefully) whip the top off the pump if possible and make sure ...

Just sampled my first bottle of stout using this malt, I varied the recipe slightly so cannot do a direct comparison with last M.O. brew but with only 2 weeks bottle conditioning it's come out very nice indeed. It loses it's head fast ( I left out the oats and torrified wheat I usually add to my sto...

Does one of these look right?

Very different hops yes sladewadey but as they go in at the beginning of the boil i think they're likely only going to give bitterness and not so much flavour, that said I'm hoping to add some towards the end for the extra grapefruitiness. Time will tell I guess
Cheers

cheers Jocky

I'd like to brew another batch of Gales HSB from BYOBRA, but I don't have any Challenger hops. As I'm hoping to get a bit more of a grapefruit flavour I thought about swapping the Cascade for the Challenger and keeping the Fuggles and Goldings unchanged. Can anyone say if Cascade/Fuggles/Goldings is...

I considered doing this for convenience reasons, but then thought about what happens when I start drawing water off into the MT, presumably it refills and the cold fill then cools down the hot water for the mash. That was where I gave up thinking about it! I'm sure it is completely solvable but I ju...

There are so many different possibilities! Camping mats for sleeping on are about 90cm wide and 1.90m long and much the same thickness as that armaflex, but only cost about£4-5 new or I've used ones from a car boot sale that cost 50p each. Not quite as thermally efficient but you could just use more...
