[johnellis]

Best video i have seen for this, great work

[jansenv]

Great video! I’m starting my first all grain recipe today

[shanehellyer]

Hi guys, tried this for the first time today and it's such a great easy method! Just one question: why aim for a 20 litre brew using "no chill" when the HDPE cubes only hold 17 litres? Should I adjust my brews from now on to be a final volume of 17-18, or do I want some extra leeway there?

[zacattackmovies]

Complete novice to brewing beer but this has filled me with confidence. Only question, how much grain did you use for 20L?

[Mike_Wazowskii]

Could one just "no chill" in their bucket fermenter and not have to transfer? Hence just skipping the step entirely.

Goddam I wish I knew these resources existed 4 years ago.

Hi quick question. I'm struggling to understand sparging. So after you've rinsed your grain bag, what do you do with that sparging water? Do you just immediately add it to the wort?

[rqualls]

Great video. I have wanted to do just this. What kettle are you using? I have looked at the Digiboil for its price but not sure if 35 liters will be enough for a 5 gallon batch. Any suggestions?

[JakeLingham]

Quick question guys during the mash out would u do 10 mins from when the temp hits the mash out desired temp or does 10 mins include the time to heat to the desired temp? Thanks Ang great video I'm currently did building a system based on an urn after watching your video. Thanks again jake

Do you add adjuncts at the same time as you add the barley?

[robertschiffhauer]

Hello, I noticed you mentioned that when you were at 10 minutes left in the boil, you added your yeast nutrient. I've read online that will kill the yeast nutrient. Please clarify at what point you add the yeast.
