I know I bought one from you. It comes in the kit like the Chubby`s and the Fermzilla`s. You stick it on the sight glass so you can see the volume inside the Brewzilla with the malt pipe inserted. Its not that accurate as the malt pipe pushes the level up but its a big help and better than before.

Anyone in the UK interested TMM has a sale on Brewzilla Gen 4.1`s £439

Plastic barrels leak! Corny kegs don`t!

I think I have seen them on The net. Its only a stick on measure but it sure makes life a lot easier.

I got the 4.1 from TMM and the only difference I could see was that it comes with a stick on measure for the sight glass so that you can see the volume with the malt pipe in place which hides the volume markings inside. Strangely enough my false bottom only has one pull ring fitted and not two...

By the way........... kit brewing starts with opening the box. Throw the instructions away and go with your gut feelings?

I could go AG again, but since my return to brewing the advance in the quality of the kits and the equipment available is unbelievable. Tom Caxton was all the rage when I started homebrewing and to be honest if it was any dearer than 10p a pint to brew they would not have sold one kit! Cheap...

I have saflager 34/70 kicking around but as I`m pressure brewing my New Zealand Pilsner I decided to try the WLP925 pressure lager yeast.

Well @Twostage my life is as simple as it gets because I`m simple. I cook food in my kitchen (I love food), I make bread in my kitchen (I love bread) so then it comes naturally to make beer in my kitchen (I love beer). I am after all only making a beer kit and not grain brewing which I will be...

Not sure if that WLP925 knows that its a lager yeast and that lager yeasts are supposed to bottom ferment?

Progress Report: (Saturday) Well that WLP925 doesn`t hang around. Day 2 and SG is already down to 1.023?. Think I`ll leave it to get down to 1.015 before dry hopping but that depends on when I can get a new chubby to transfer it into when I dry hop.

Progress report: (Friday) It would appear that I got something right at last. Temp is spot on 20C and pressure increased from 14psi to 19psi so those fat little hairy yeasty thingies in there must be doing something whatever that something is? I`ve reduced the pressure down to 15psi and set the...

Now 23ltr of liquid love later I tackle the White Labs Lager yeast. They need help in explaining how to use this tricky little yeast. I did though get quite excited whilst manipulating the squishy bag of sex craved little hairy beasties, there was something quite stimulating about squeezing the...

Now equipped with a beer I continued into my attempt to gain the fame that I richly deserve? Anyway water treated, malt extract placed in boiling (and I do mean boiling) water. Ever tried to pick up a foil packet of LEM that`s been in boiling water? Ok so now add 3ltrs boiling water (hurty...

Yes exactly!
