   1. Rumours of the demise of Skink have been greatly exaggerated

      Yea, though I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death...
      Okay, let's not get back into all that. I've been missing for a long time, due to that 'orrible four letter word, WORK. It's the classic Catch 22 really - when I wasn't working, I had no money to brew, and now I'm working, I've no time to brew. Anyway, my new year's resolution is to get busy again, and who knows, maybe regurgitate more Chronicles as we go (remember them?). But first of all, I'd like a little advice.
      Some of...

      Welcome back Skink :party:.
      
      For newer readers or others who may have missed Skink's prior posts, do an advanced search of them using the word chronicles :).
      
      Skink, give as much detail as you can on the Grainfather. Like the Braumeister, I think it can be used as a single vessel/full-volume/pure BIAB system as mally suggested or you can complicate it.
      
      The instructions, on the Braumeister, at least from memory, aim towards complicating it. They don't mention in those instructions about the...

      The Third Chronicles of Skink
      
      When Skink, son of Skunk, didst emerge from Castle Biab, his faithful and big-bummed friend Number 7 wast waiting for him faithfully – and big-bummedly.
      
      ‘Aiee, my friend,’ he didst say, ‘How goeth it? Are you yet admitted to the Brotherhood of the Closely Woven Fabric?’
      
      ‘Nay, not yet, my friend,’ didst Skink reply. ‘King Pistol patch, May the...

   3. Shock Horror! Skink Actually Brews Something!

      Yes, folks, believe it or not, after an age of talking about it, writing drivel, and all round procrastination, Skink has finally brewed something! And it was, well, interesting.
      
      Well, actually, it was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish; it started at the bottom, and then defied the laws of gravity by going downhill. And it went downhill faster than a German bobsleigh team on Ecstasy.
      
      The problems began the previous night; we’d bought our grain whole, and didn’t have a grain mill,...

      Thanks for the advice, and the kind words - a name like that could feature in upcoming chronicles without any alteration! I really must get back to them - might wait until my mind has been bent (all right, bent more than normal) by the first couple of bottles of my first brew.

      The Chronicles of Skink, Son of Skunk
      
      Yea, verily, I say unto thee, fellow mashers of the venerable grain in the close-meshed fabric, let me tell you a tale of swords and sorcery, of dashing damsels, and of the fabled and feared beast that lurks in the shadowy recesses of the Ye Olde Fabled Internet... the tale of Skink, son of Skunk.
      
      In days long past, a handsome (?) young wastrel called Skink, son of Skunk, journeyed far from the lands of his childhood, until, after many trials and...

   5. My pot

      No, I'm not starting a recreational drugs thread - I've just measured my pot/kettle, and discovered it holds 22L absolutely full to the brim. It has an internal diameter of 36cm, and an internal height of 22cm. I assume, then, it will be okay for mini-BIABs, and for then progressing to maxis. Could I push my limits just a little bit more for my first brew, since the standard mentioned in the mini section holds 19L, 3 less than I have, or am I being greedy? I also have a keg in the shed that I...

      Hi there Skink,
      
      Just read through all the above and we are at the stage now where we can get this recipe under way. Cool! (Stick with your original pot btw.)
      
      I've set up a BIABacus file for you with the All Amrillo APA recipe. The site wants us to post all Pre-Release versions of the BIABacus in the one thread so I've posted the file and made afew comments for you here .
      
      Grab yourself a beer and have a read ;),
