No-Chill Cube Storage
How long can you store wort in an airtight NC cube prior to commencing fermentation? I'm realtively conscious of removing just about all of the air prior to sealing the cube. Does storing wort this way at fluctuating or high temperatures have any negative effects of the wort quality? Im thinking of ...

Very active primary fermentation
I have just brewed my first Robust Porter and have pitched Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale. 24 hours since pitching, the primary fermentation is the most active I have ever seen - Its about to blow the airlock! The krausen is being forced up through, and out of, the airlock Has anyone else experienced an over...

There are also the the 4 burner frame aavailable at the moment to enable you sit your pot on top of. These are fairly hard to find and only pop up every now and then so could be a r...

Thanks for all the great responses! Yeasty, the fridge is a small bar-fridge, just big enough to fit the 25L fermenter and airlock with the shelves removed. The temp controller sits on top and the fridge is plugged into it. It has another power point for a heating source ie a heatbelt/pad. I tape th...

Fermenter Heating Query
Since moving from the tropics, this is my first 'winter' in 6 years, so I have never needed to heat my fermenters! Is the 'heater pad' or the 'heater belt' considered best? I have read that the belt can reduce/prevent autolysis as the yeast cake/trub is not heated from beneath. On the other hand I h...

Mashing In Options

What are your collective thoughts on mashing in by: 1. placing the BIAB bag in the kettle at strike temp and slowly adding grain whilst stirring to avoid doughballs; versus 2. filling the bag with the milled grain and THEN placing in the kettle at strike temp. I have o...
