Cheers mate, this is just a copy and paste. But it's to helps get a clearer beer at the end of the day. Whirlfloc tablets are a blend of Irish moss and purified carrageenan that help precipitate haze-causing proteins and beta glucans resulting in a clearer finished beer. Use one tablet per 10 gallon batch of beer in the last 5 minutes of the boil.

@@bravoalbum thank you

The ratcheting pulley is available to buy from kegland.com.au. works a treat. And cheap to

I use Brewfather and the standard 35L profile loaded in the app. I did adjust the efficiency down to 70 percent

This is an extract from howtobrew.com. What is Mashout? Before the sweet wort is drained from the mash and the grain is rinsed (sparged) of the residual sugars, many brewers perform a mashout. Mashout is the term for raising the temperature of the mash to 170°F prior to lautering. This step stops all of the enzyme action (preserving your fermentable sugar profile) and makes the grainbed and wort more fluid. For most mashes with a ratio of 1.5-2 quarts of water per pound of grain, the mashout is not needed. The grainbed will be loose enough to flow well. For a thicker mash, or a mash composed of more than 25% of wheat or oats, a mashout may be needed to prevent a Set Mash/Stuck Sparge. This is when the grain bed plugs up and no liquid will flow through it. A mashout helps prevent this by making the sugars more fluid; like the difference between warm and cold honey. The mashout step can be done using external heat or by adding hot water according to the multi-rest infusion calculations. (See chapter 16.) A lot of homebrewers tend to skip the mashout step for most mashes with no consequences.

No I very rarely use the fine mesh. And as for a stuck pump I haven't had a problem, I did have an issue when I first got it as the pump inlet pipe was twisted.

I agree
