300L into the fermenter, WOW!!! That's an amazing project and a quite difficult one too, but knowing sokin I think we could actually be able to do it! First of all, I think that Patrick is right, both on the no-sparge and on the calculations that must be done before hand. Knowing what volume(vip) yo...

Hey guys! I hope everyone is amazing and mainly Patrick is not getting crazy doing 1000 jobs at once :) It's been quite long and between some sad stuff and crazy stuff that have been happening, I wanted to pay a visit while I got some internet! About the equipment, I got Nik's electric urn, 56,7L, w...

I forgot to mention that I only used hop flowers for reuse, but I guess if you make a bag from the classic material we make the biab bags you won't have a problem... If there are any takers to the experiment is it worth moving this to a new post about "hop re-use"? :think: Well I'm totally into an e...

I'll just write a couple of stuff on hop reuse based on my limited experience. Last yeah I brewed almost all my batches(10+) with used hops. I have reused hops that were boiled for 30min or less for bittering I have reused hops that were boiled for 10min or less for flavor I have reused hops that we...

Hello guys! I managed to save some of the winemaking photos from a failed hard disk, so I finally uploaded them! https://plus.google.com/photos/111100448991447739580/albums/5793514792365783777?authkey=CMTOtO3uodXeBg The people there were amazing just amazing. The instrument at the last photos sounds...

Just an update on this beer which finally made it's way to tap. The verdict is IMHO that it adds the complexity of flavour without the added body. In other words if I was to achieve this much malt profile adding my specialty grains to the mash at dough in, I would probably end up with a much chewie...

:luck: mate. If they don't give you the job, they'll be losing a very clever brain. Kostas not only makes beer and cheese but went wine-making last week :P. So, I reckon his new kettle needs to be large enough for him to stand in so once a year he can stomp grapes in it :lol:. Kostas, you didn't by...

Thanks guys for the welcome! Really do! As a matter of interest how much are the basics to buy over there, things like malt hops and yeast. Well mate, it's pretty expensive, something like avg 1,5Euros=2USD per kg of grain and 3Euros=4+USD for 30gr of hops. If you buy bigger quantities it's a bit be...

Hey guys! It's been so long since the last time I could sit relaxed in front of a computer. A huge amount of crazy stuff happened for me the last few months but if nothing happens again I'll be around more from now on. Because autumn is slowly here and the new brewing season is coming to Greece, we ...

I've been making my own (inclduing a variety of preserved sausages) in my home build "drying box". Nice mate, I've been making cured meats for 2 years now, mainly because it's cheaper/healthier/tastier. I've done bacon of course, a Greek traditional cured pork fillet(salted for 3 days/ in wine for ...

I think there is a subtle flavour contribution from bittering additions, but you just need to be aware of it The more I brew the more I feel that this is true, for example bittering with a citrucy American hop is not the same as bittering with an English kent hop. I might be wrong though :) If this...

Ι really like the idea that steeping the specialty and not mashing get's more taste out of them, but generally I would like some science behind it. Some early thinking could be that the main parameters are the time and the temperature. Regarding temperature, different temperature can get different e...

Very interesting experiment! Six brews is not a very small number to reach to some general conclusions like the need to change a bit the calculation of efficiency or the proposal of measuring volumes in smaller temp rather than boiling. The good news is that I brewed 240 litres in 3 days and will no...

From what we've talked a bit with Nik it's better to just get the 50lit vessel for starters and then he offered to do the customization when I get to Athens be...
