Yep noticed that when i posted it, aiming for an english bitter hence the crystal. Only chucking the cascade teabag in because its there, !ayjust use citra all through. Making chiller later in week.wet test tomorrow

Going to use the induction hobs temp setting and do a calibration run. Compare setting to actual temp, also have invested in a digital temp meter that can be calibrated.
The only hole i was thinking of drilling was a bottom ball valve.

Just got my stock pot from empire supplies online and i am well happy.

My last attempt was ten years ago lol and with extract, no boil Hambilton bard kit. Bucket 7 days, racked into barrel and primed.

I will study the excel sheet more and more than likely when I do get a pot and put the details in it may start making sense. The whole...

I'm taking my time and asking this time as my last attempt smelt like trumps and tasted like homebrew.

Think the route will be just a ball valve, I think the price of an induction hob will be too much but I am worried about how much gas I would use and the cost etc.. Like I said before I tend to over think things lol Oh and buying a 71 litre pot from empire supplies online. Professional quality cater...

Going to get a 33 litre one from Angel Homebrew. I want to use electric and did think about having an induction hob but i do like the look of the Brew boss system and the like. I do tend to run before I can walk lol. I'm converting my pasta mill at the moment so I'll finish that first and keep readi...
