Wives..... yes mine looks at me in a very bemused way (a polite way of putting it) when I skip around happily after a successful brewing escapade using a new gadget I've built. She doesn't seem to understand the pleasure isn't just in drinking the stuff but in brewing it and also in working out how to make cunning gadgets to do it. Strange things wives! I won't even begin to tell you what her reaction is to this forum!!!!!!Seveneer wrote:I think so. I've got a hundred litres of beer fermenting in my garage now from two brewdays. I have done two brews in a day before so it's not beond the realms of possibility to brew 100l in a day. I reckon that's worth a few quid on its own just for my time. Not sure my good lady will see it that way. She'd bemused by the whole thing really and can't understand why I'm so excited. She does, at least, see the savings over buying a brewery from the US.DaaB wrote:Money well spend Seven
I love my brewery

Does underletting make the mash easier to stir - I mean, are you less likely to get lumps that need breaking up? By the way, knowing your desire for shiny things, may I take the liberty of recommending a shiny addition Sir? Find yourself a good Indian corner shop - one that sells indian cooking hardware, they'll do you an exceedingly shiny and massive stainless steel spoon for about £3. Much better than those bendy plastic ones - and more shiny.

Underletting floats the grain away from the mainfold rather than washing it into it. I don't think it makes it easier to stir.
You spotted my old plastic spoon then. it is certainly the Achilles heel of the system. It bends far too much to be effective. That's why I've just got hold of a well seasoned length of oak that I'm going to try to make a mash paddle from. Maybe I'll wrap it in foil to make it shiny
Thanks for the suggestion of the spoon though. Good idea and if my paddle doesn't come out right I'll be straigt out to the shops to get a stainless spoon.
