![]() Just for info the deadspace under the false bottom after draining the water out is 0.35 gallon.Īny ideas on how to get round this? Is it a big F*** up? Should I add extra strike water and decrease the sparge water? Effectively there isn't going to be enough water above the false bottom to steep the grain. I can't lower the stand as when I built the pot the stand was specifically built to sit above the outlet for the valve and sight glass. This means that I have about 4 gallons under the false bottom and about 1.9 gallons above it. When transferring the strike water from the HLT to the mash tun (approx 5.9 gallon) I found that the stand I have made for the mash tun to sit on is too high. However, this is where I have overlooked a very important detail. For the false bottom I imported a custom false bottom from Norcal brewing solutions - which was exactly to spec and in my opinion a great piece of kit. I installed sight glasses, weldless fittings etc. ![]() ![]() I decided to build my system using 25 gallon stainless stock pots that are easily available here. I did however have to import a few bits and pieces. I am currently based in Thailand so getting all of the parts etc as recommended by Kal is almost impossible unless you are prepared to pay massive shipping and taxes - something I was not prepare to do. I have tweaked the brewery step buy step guide to fit the electric pale ale and my system. My first brew will be the electric pale ale sessionable version. The plan was to follow the brew day step by step guide - without the grain etc just to get the feel for how the system works and spot any problems. I have just finished my brewery and decided to go for a test run today using only water. ![]()
