Looks like a nice recipe adm, I borrowed your Galaxian recipe yesterday, the smell coming FV is a strong mango and passion fruit juice style smell, should be interesting..

Excellent stuff! Galaxian turned out to be a cracking beer - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Galaxy is a lovely hop.

I also did a version of it with Cascade late hopping and that came out well too.

The one I have appears to be identical to this:

It works well. The downside is the possibility of bits of trub getting stuck inside it, so you need a good cleaning regime. I heat mine in the oven at 200C for an hour before and after use, and also give it a good flush through in both directions after use, plus I give it a good soak filled with iodophor solution.

Yeah...that's much sexier than a copper immersion heater regardless of it's quirks!

Hi Adm

I need to mod my IC hose connectors and the quick disconnects you use are exactly what I need. Can I ask where you got them from?

Cheers

The fittings came from here: http://www.intricoproducts.com/catalogu ... roove.html

The only issue is that postage is expensive unless you live nearby or are buying a few at a time. I think they have a £12 flat postage charge!

They certainly are.... plus an 8mm to 1/2 inch adaptor (from my local plumbing merchant) to get from the copper to the disconnects.
