That sounds considerably more of a pain in the ass

Borders opening imminently, GABS on the horizon. Do I pull the trigger?Sucks that GBW is canned.
What's GBW?
Good Beer Week. Melbourne basically goes off with an insane amount of beer related events, from talks with brewers, pairings with food, hungover recovery sessions, events aimed at particular styles of beer, and access to some incredibly rare beer.

Schwarzbier not looking very dark, should change after fermenting:
On another note, efficiency has improved greatly with the combo of the RO filter and salts.

I’ve got a robobrew v3
The new brewzillas look pretty intriguing. Sounds like they’ve fixed some of the bugbear issues. But they’re a fair bit pricier. Wouldn’t mind a 65L but ****ed if I’ll ever get 3 phase power
Pricier? Whoa, I thought they were cheap. Maybe my mind keeps circling back to Grain Father pricing.
I thought you could run a 65L with 10A or 15A?
Dunno, had a lot of beers on the weekend but the boys were talking about them and I started googling today. They look pretty cool.I think the new 35L is $600 whereas I got mine for about $380 when it came IIRC. They have way more features now though.Pricier? Whoa, I thought they were cheap. Maybe my mind keeps circling back to Grain Father pricing.

Yeah you’re probably right re 15A - I assumed you needed some additional electrician work if you want it to reach max wattage anyway.
I think $600 is prob still worth it, especially if you can reuse your old urn as a sparge heater

I'm pretty sure it's just a 15A pin, you can run them on your normal power points but if you have anything else running it can trip the power.
Right. That’s good to know. Maybe I was reading posts from US users with their shitty low voltage

Tested the Schwarzbier today, at 1.015 and tasting roasty AF whilst still being smashable. Upped to 15 for the D-rest and start rolling into the final steps.
Sounds good mate but roasty a.f. isnt really a descriptor you should be looking for in a Schwartz. What dark malts did you use?

Sounds about right. I guess I usually associate roastiness with roast bitterness and astringency from RB, black malt and the like.
Thinking of doing a partigyle soon for a Baltic Porter for our August comp. The small beer will be a type of schwarz and will be used to build the massive starter for the Baltic Porter to go onto.
Toasty is what I’d want a Schwarzbeer to taste like I think. Like toasted bread, not so much like roasted coffee.
