Quick post - I need to collate photos and stuff if I'm going to start a new thread (although don't want to hijack the whole site!!) Went pretty well today - the new boiler was excellent and easily worth the money. It was able to maintain a good rolling boil with 26 litres in and wasn't even on max o...

Thanks PP - that's really helped :thumbs: I've looked at Biabacus before but it's never really sunk in, so whilst it was my first complete one it probably wasn't my first attempt but I think I've got it now (and it is a great tool). Your method does make sense and I've got the extra grain (I've actu...

No was fine - any advice on improving my setup is welcome! The transfer to FV has been an obvious area and my new kettle/boiler has a tap (it's a Burco Cygnet 30L) - I've plugged some figures into Biabacus and it should be able to handle an 18 litre batch (which is just about what I got out of the l...

I have looked at BIABacus and I need to study it more (i don't actually own a computer so I've been sneaking a few peaks at work). I really just wanted to get a brew on and not worry too much about ...

My first attempt was 18 months ago and I wasn't 100% happy with the results - I've since found out my hydrometer was reading high and that the brew was a bit thin probably due to a ...

Thanks MS I know what you mean. Got a six year old (daughter) and an eleven month old (dog) which take up plenty of time. I'm only planning on getting 1 brew per month done (even if it has to be a kit) as that will keep my stocks up high enough. I'm just working through my latest Woodfordes Wherry (...
