    Wanted: Stainless steel corny discos

    I'm looking for 2 liquid and 1 gas stainless steel disco. These are the ones with the 90 degree outlet which makes them just short enough for me to get another layer of kegs in my kegerator [-o< Please PM me if you have any - thanks!

    Pump priming and flow control?

    For the last handful of brews I've been using a couple of little solar pumps to recirculate the mash and transfer spare water and wort between my vessels. The pumps work well, but I have problems priming them, getting rid of air bubbles, and starting them off. I then struggle to regulate the...

    Oktoberfest lagering

    I've had the Brulosophy (m)Oktoberfest fermenting for a week now with Mangrove Jacks M76 Bavarian yeast at 10 degrees (range is 8-14 degrees). The gravity is already down to 1013, and I'm planning to transfer to secondary and lager for 6 weeks at 4.4 degrees (as per John Palmer). I've let...

    Do I need a filter with pump?

    I've been using a little solar pump to recirculate during the mash and even to test a whirlpool at the end of the boil. So far I've gotten away with leaving the bazooka filter and false bottom in place during mash and boil, but last week the bazooka clogged during both mash and boil To be...

    Fermentation temperature spike....ignore or act?

    A couple of months ago I finished my fermentation fridge build and after reading loads of threads on where to put the temp probe I settled for sticking it to the side of the fridge, following observations from Twostage and others who have put a lot of time and effort into comparing probe...

    How can I improve this extract kit?

    I've got a few hours spare later this week, and am hopeless slowly at AG :lol: so have decided to use an extract kit I had lying around. The kit involves steeping some grains and an 11 litre boil, but I am wondering whether I can do anything to improve the process? - such as steep the grains...

    Inkbird + Aquarium heater?

    I've used an aquarium heater suspended in my FV a few times now but I can't quite get the temperature to sit at 20 degrees. The adjustment knob on the heater is so fiddly! Grrr! Inkbird have been kind enough to offer me a discount so I have ordered a 310 and was wondering if I could hook this...

    Good hop to pair with Northern Brewer?

    I've just popped a strong ale in the FV after boiling 10g of Northern Brewer for 15 mins, and then 20g of Northern Brewer for 30 mins steep. I was planning to dry hop on day 7 with another 20g of Northern Brewer but now wondering if I should try and balance it out with another hop. Another...

    Can I hop a beer in a pressure barrel?

    Had a search but I can't find any threads on this - apologies in advance if I've missed a load :doh: One of the brews I have in a pressure barrel is a rather bland, slightly sweet kit ale that I didn't tweak (wanted to have a "standard version" to compare tweaks to). I've now had my fill...
