Oooh - arty slow mo! I must get my bag out again and 11 litre pot on the stove - got some Maris Otter which needs using up and some random hops. Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics.

Love and needed this, i appreciate it, its very helpful. There was no mention of sterilising.sanitising the kettle?. Also I read that the lid shouldnt be put on as nasty chemicals need to escape or something like that???.

[@MrDManuel]

Could I use an ink bird temp controller on the kettle to control the temperature instead of switching it off manually? Does the kettle work with the ink bird 308?

[@themaltmiller8438]

The 308 won’t handle a 2.4kw element unfortunately… you’ll need to look for an alternative solution or use a lower wattage element. We do 2kw low watt density ones which will work with the 308

[@iansiviter1338]

Hi guys, are there any issues with firing the element while the bag is in there, no scorching?

[@themaltmiller8438]

As long as you are aware of what you are doing then you can avoid issues. For example, use a high quality grain bag, stir whilst the element is on and don't have it on for long periods of time.

Great video. Did I miss you adding something to the bottles for secondary fermentation? Maybe for this brew you don't? Thanks

[@themaltmiller8438]

Hey! Yes we do add sugar to the bottles, in this case we used carbonation drops 👍🏻

[@craigperkins9845]

@@themaltmiller8438 Hi malt miller. Is it just one carbonation drop per 500ml bottle??Will this be enough?? Thanks

[@FretFriendGWaL]

@@craigperkins9845 One is right for 500ml bottles...

[@na1raz]

Get a transparent fermentor and put hydrometer into it through whole fermentation process, so you dont have to open it to see what's going on.

[@themaltmiller8438]

Great idea!
