I found that I lost a fair whack of my amarillo aroma/bitterng cos I hadn't organised a hopsack and ended...

Hi Bruce, it's a bit hard to answer your question without actual figures but here goes; Assuming you have 12 litres (about 1/2 a willow container?) of wort at 1080, diluting with 10 litres of water will give you an OG of 1044. Diluting with 8 litres of water will give you an OG of 1048. Hope this h...

Still waiting on my grain bill, but a question.

A will be no chilling the wort. Is it ok to have a "not full" cube for no chillling (as long as I splash it al around to pastuerise?

Thanks in advance
Bruce

I forgot to order this when buying my grain.

Should I get one - not sure if my order has been processed - what'll happen if I don't?

Cheers

Do you not have issues with boil overs, or are you a champion stirrer? I haven't had a boil over yet and I really want to keep it that way, haha. Others have said to have a spray bottle with water handy to "control" boilovers . . . or 200ml of water added just before eruption :argh: Cheers Bruce
