Where would you advise selling up our brewery kit guys? It's tricky because it's bigger than homebrew at 2.5BBL (~410L). Yet not big commercial scale. Some is never used spares, then there's the whole system and tanks. Ideally we'd like to look around for better options than eBay, so any...

Any thoughts on the best positions for two electric heating elements in the attached HLT? The diameter is 770mm and I'm planning on fitting 1 x 406mm length (16") and 1 x 356mm length (14"). It's the sloping base that has got me thinking. My plan for the tank is the HLT. I know...

This is going to be a tad awkward to explain without decent photos, which i hope to add tomorrow night but I'm desperate to sort this problem so am hoping someone can advise.... I made a very much DIY mash tun/chiller and separate boiler and ran my first AG brew last month without problems -...

I have a packet of whole (un-malted) barley I bought a while back on a whim thinking I could use it in some way. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't intend to malt it but thought maybe it could be added at some stage to add flavour somehow? Note: just got into All Grain brewing after few...
