Many thanks I look forward to hearing from you, No I was born half a mile down the road from Old Trafford cricket ground so that makes me a Stretfordian. Cheers

Hi Guys, Shroppie from Middlewich here, I brew lagers mostly so could use a few sacks of lager malt and I can pick up the Munich malt to finish off that sack. (not done one for a while). It looks as though we are not far apart? Cheers

I have a six gallon 3kw Burco boiler for sale. Has handles and lagged. Never been scoured. Open to offers around £60. Collect only Crewe Cheshire.

It does have a rotary switch which when turned raises or lowers a set of contacts allowing more or less current to the element. The insides of this unit can be seen on Lincat Electric Boiling Ring Spare Parts. The model is as above, the single 2kw. Lynx 400 range. Thanks...

Many thanks for your reply. This particular unit does not appear to have the cut out you describe. The Lincat spare parts page for this unit does not mention a cutout at all! Very odd? Thanks shroppie

Hi All, I have a Lincat Lynx 2kw. boiling ring which should allow the use of a boiling pot without resorting to a kettle or immersion element in the wort. It does however need the thermal cut out removing. I am quite happy to do this but I need to know which bit wants removing. ie.what...

I want to have a go at decoction mashing using a 6 gallon brew length. How big a decoction kettle should I get? Cheers Shroppie

The Cheshire Brewers Group November Meet will be at the Angel Knutsford on Thursday 22nd. November 2012 8pm. Usual bottle swaps, tastings and general beer chat. You do not have to live in Cheshire to attend, all are welcome. We`re hoping to have a National Beer Judge with us so you can ask...

Hello Heyze, The Cheshire Brewers Group meets bimonthly (usually) in Knutsford. Also the Norhern Craft Brewers meet in Cheshire once or twice a year. Communication is via email or this forum, when I remember to post on it! If you would like to be kept up to date with what`s going on and be put...

That should be a stunner. APA`s really catching on now. Interesting when they mellow out. They can become very subtle beers indeed. If you can leave it long enough. Look forward to trying it. Shroppie

Info on this beer is available from the brewer. Check out The Brewing Network.com Sunday session for 3-27-11.

I am not an engineer so some of your reply is over my head. So, in straight forward language, what would I need to build a similar unit to the Morebeer conical which is temp. controlled? I already have a Minibrew conical. Thanks, s

Hello All, Does anyone know anything about the chiller/heater units on the MoreBeer conical fermenters? Or something similar that a Ranco or Johnson controller can run attached to the vessel? Thanks

Alternatively some people have these. Check out; MiniBrew.com Bit dearer than bio tanks but made for brewing. Lovely to use. s

Hello Jodrell, The extra sugar will not affect your Boddys. Actually it`s not a bad stab at Boddys bitter, pre InBev of course.If anything there`s a bit too much crystal in it. 85gms. is plenty. As I am sure you are aware Boddingtons had quite a few pubs in the `Joderell area before it all went...
