My flatmates a medical student, so he has somewhat conflicted feelings , he feels sorry for the poor person/victim but also has alot of sympathy for the dude who has to operate the camera with his face about an inch from a inflated anus... talk about a sh*t job

just to weigh in on win 8- its ***** and no amount of we're sorry and look we've fixed it will save it for me, its too late for all that, windows 7 all they way- or ubuntu seriously made a dual boot netbook for the little bro with latest ubuntu or win 8- (hes used to win 7 gaming rigs) he picks...

should be fine using the tap if use a bit of tubing attached to the tap- also great for pouring pints- can pour out with less foam and oxidation if kept below beer level

dont know about the wine but i made a syrup from them one time that was toffee and jam combined- maybe a bit of rose but not really, but imagine would be worth a few weeks of patience- besides think i have more fun making wines than drinking them half the time

yeah looks da business, and sure is a classy way to brew- will prob need some heavy duty insulation on a pot bigger than the 34l though- just sensible anyway- espically if its winter and windy- something i would think about if i were at it shame about not being allowed inside - as you could...

are u sure its the new valve- the pressure barrel main seals can be dead annoying as they tend to herniate if screwed on too tight- might also be the problem with the little ones- bit of vaseline rarely hurts aswell

i was looking into kegs but the gas supply thing (and cost) kinda put me off- how much and what do u need for a s30 corny setup? im guessing s30 cylinder, a corny with s30 a flexitap then what else do u need and how do u gas it up?

sure, just be sure to lob some pectolase in and leave a while before fermenting- might also want a alot of yeast and a high abv tolerant one with 2kg of sugar- maybe dessert or champagne

good suggestion- but doesnt seem like anythings advertised in dundee (its early days up here , only just got a homebrew shop open this month)

Hi guys i popped out on the bike , spotted a few apple trees and couldnt stop myself - now ive got 25kg of the blighters :o and no press, :cry: any ideas?- im in the dundee area in the offchance anyone has a press (unlikely but worth a shot) what i do have: 25.5kg apples (seem to be dual...

for beer and cider i would say airlocks are overrated, there will still be a heavy co2 blanket for some time after the initial ferment that will keep the brew healthy- u just want a lid to keep the flies and dust out

ive made it a few times and my recipe always adds DAP, di ammonium phosphate- a yeast nutrient, really seems to work well as a syrup also seems to work nicely in my hoppy and strong IPAs

apparently it this kinda deal " "Myrcene yields flavors that were not traditionally considered desirable by European brewers, and noble hops are very low in myrcene. However, many American hop varieties are very high in myrcene; it makes up up to 60% of total oil in Cascade and up to 70% in...

yep i would say sloes aswell

definately want to give it a sulphite treatment to kill off any nastys, i think heat is also used???
