Thanks for the advice, leaving it in the fermenter for another week did the trick, was a great beer.

Put the new Pump in my rig, and tried another brew, still only about 65% efficiency. So i have set up a 5gal hlt with a sparging type ring so hopefully a slower more thorough rinse once i pull the grain pot out will do the trick. Any sujestions on boosting my efficiency would be much apreciated...

Latches are just stainless over centre catches, they were actually freebies from my bro in-law.

Yeah I'm in Australia. Everything here is 240V. 18 years from the one pump, that's impressive!

Really Cool Program, Thanks.

Thanks for the feed back What numbers are you getting? Also what pump do you use.? I am looking at this one so any advise would be great. Features: Pump Voltage: 220-240 at 50-60hz Maximum Head: 3.4m Maximum Flow Rate: 19L/min - 20Lmin Barbed Fittings: 17mm O.D & 11mm I.D Barb...

Here's a few more pics of the lid and the catches. The lid had been made to fit on the inner or the keg so i can use it on the steep or the boil. This rig is still a work in progress, but we had a brew day to test it out. I was wanting to put 10kg (22lbs) of grain in it, but 8kg (17.6lbs) is...

I liked the BIAB concept but was'nt keen on hassleing with the bags so i made an insert to contain the grain Braumister style. I used alloy fly screen for my screens and simple over centre catches to hold pressure on the base seal, the idea is that the wort is circutated up thru the grain bed...

Just made the move from extract to all grain brewing, so after lots of research, net surfing and a trip to Beer Weeks system wars the idea was set. Firstly was to cut the top out of the keg that i got for free and install the inlet/outlet's on the bottom. Next was fitting the 3600w hot water...

Thanks for that link, from my very limited experience that article makes total sense. Im actualy keen to revisit some of my past beers now to see if i was drinking "green beer" or not. I keg and carbonate with co2 but always bottle at least a six pack and ferment those in the bottles, so...

Thanks for the feed back, i will let it sit and check it again in a week. The yeast is us05.

Now on day 5 of the fermentation, the gravity is at 1.013. seems to have gone pretty quick for 18c. Beer seems to have a slightly tropical smell and taste to it? Any idea's as to why that would be.?

Ive Been extract brewing for a few months now and found most kits to be wanting, so we tried a partial grain kit and even tho it didn't set my world on fire i saw the light in as much as how much flavour we can get. The answer was all grain. so we knocked up a kind of braumister clone, and...
