One of the things that worries me about not using the cover though, and thats is burning the bag on the elementif I need to raise the temperature during mashing. Have you found this ago be a problem ? Any tips? Thanks Hi Zymeck, Sorry for the delay in replying, things have got the way for a bit! :d...

Hi i have recently aquired a old 20L 'Baby Burco' electric urn. Ive yet to use it - but it has a removeable element cover, and is SHINY :D Hi Zymeck, I don't know if you have brewed yet with the Burco. If not I would remove the element cover before doing so.

Hi Todd, yes I have seen the Biabacus :argh: and it does rather give the lie to my "not interested in the niggly details"!! :headhit: :thumbs: And yep, never thought about the BIAB-recirc, that is going to give that temperature control you need :idiot: lol!

I know I have missed this thread at it's liveliest, but a few musings on brewing experiments. And a warning in advance, heretical statements coming! I like the thought of well thought out experiments to find out what is happening with a system, and brewing is most definitely a system! ;) The problem...

Cheers Joshua, I have already managed to grab myself a 27 litre boiler, so I reckon I will be doing a little bit of a maxi-biab. :D

There were a couple of posts, such as about Twitter and Google+ that I skipped, but then I don't use either! :peace: The quality of the information on the site certainly makes it worth the ...
