Hi all,

I know this is nothing terribly new or breaking any moulds, but after years of kit brewing I decided to build my own all grain system. I went for a 3 tier gravity fed system made from normal brew kit and household items. Cheap and cheerful is the way!

I made a few videos of the process, they aren't meant as instructional vids by any means, more just a video diary of how I did it.
I've made 2 brews in this system now and discovering lots of ways it can be improved. Such as using hoses that have wire support in to keep them open when hot, and a few fittings that need replacing with stainless versions.
The mesh hose filters are prone to clogging so I'd like to revamp them with something else too. But anyway, here are the vids, hope you enjoy them.

I think you need to have a look at your video links there my friend :) Nothing showing.

Brewing is a slippery slope too.....A couple of mates started doing their own, and now run the Bastide and Longdog breweries in France and the UK respectively........<burp>

Cheers, yeah clearly that didn't work oops! Tried to embed them in the post, rather than a redirect link, but to no avail. links should work now at least, will keep trying to get them in the post directly....

Hurrah!! There was me trying to be clever, reading guides on how to do it, trying a million different ways that don't work. :banghead:

All along there's a 'insert video' button in the post editor..... :goodnight:
