The Whirlpool Chiller

Took a video of the Jamil recirculation whirlpool chiller in action with the new pot.
Certainly spins the wort a lot more effectively.

Updating the Brewery


As a birthday present the Bucket of Death has been replaced by a new 100 litre ali pot, italian spiral burner and medium pressure regulator. All bought from beerbelly.

I have also redone all of the bulkhead fittings using flanged nuts in the inside which hopefully will get rid of the slow drips from every damn fitting.
Th aim is to do 55-60 litre brews with plenty of boilover room.

I have also bought an immersion heater and ordered a mashmate temp controller to take the hot liquor tank into the 21st century. New vessel will be a converted scrap %$#.

Should be able to put it on a timer to heat the strike water in the morning.

A youtube video of the burner in action is available
