  I feel for you brother! I’ve been using my plate chiller for about 18 months now without issue. I do run PBW for 30 minutes or so then I switch and run for 30 minutes through the chiller in the opposite direction, I then run several gallons of clean hot water to thoroughly rinse everything. Here’s to future delicious brews! Brew On!

  I recently opened all my ball valves (even the ones I currently don't use actively). All of them contained some amount of dirt in the dead space around the ball. I always clean the vales after use by pumping PBW solution through them for about 30 mins (valve half closed to reach the dead space). My advice: open and clean them regularly.

  Bet your wife loved your reason for giving up on your old fridge. 1. It works and ive spent shitloads on extras to make something i was once stoked about, but its not the best in the world. For todays beer missus, i need the worlds best and we both know it. 2. You know how much i love beer, shit i need double the size for all my fermenters... hey the more i make, the more i make right. 3. waaay more accurate than a fridge. Wifey can clearly see how thats important and im using facts, such as fridfe just had probe stuck to outside of fermenter... this has...no probe and measures somehow...which is waaaay more accurate 4. I can buy pills... aka, more shit... to bridge, pear or bond to my rapt to be even more accurate than my previous point. 5 i can do other stuff with all my stuff and thats pretty cool. So yeah, its um worth us getting this over a holiday in bali....surely

  Actually she is very supportive. She is a beer drinker and prefers the beer I make to most commercial offerings, also neither of us would be caught dead in Bali.

  I would like to see you do a beginners brew your own beer at home video with minimal equipment. You might say there are a lot videos on KZread that cover making your first beer. There are. However the problem is they whip out expensive equipment which would make a lot of potential first time home brewers run for the hills. Also they tend to nerd out on technical talk. A lot of the mostly American guys making those videos would make making a cup of tea seem complicated if they had to make a video about it. I am looking for a beer making for dummies type video. Assume that the viewer knows absolutely nothing about about making beer at home but is very keen to try it. You asked for comments so that is mine.

  Three water profile would impact flavour the same way it would with beer except I’d recommend very small additions… you don’t have the malt backbone to offset so the normal sized additions would overpower the hops and make it taste salty.

  I ferment in All Rounders too. I've just done an NZ Pilsner and English Best Bitter, both dry hopped. I leave the dry hopping until after fermentation, dry hop for 2 days, cold crash for 2 days then package into the keg. It's the first time I've cold crashed into the All Rounder but they both seemed to be nicely hopped. I'll find out next week when I go to the brew club meeting and get some feedback. To avoid getting too much hop material int he keg you could either use a hop sock or a small mechanical filter like the KL27953
