    Reverse Osmosis Equipment

    Hi all, hope you're keeping well. I'm looking to purchase a reverse osmosis filter as I fancy the idea of starting from a 'blank' (and more importantly more consistent) slate. I'm in the UK and usually get my gear from the malt miller who offer this 5 stage filter for £165...

    Grain conditioning ruined my efficiency?

    Hi all Fairly new to brewing but I’m now producing some consistent and good brews on my grainfather. However in my eternal quest to ‘improve’ my technique I seem to have tacken a couple of steps back. I have been consistently getting between 85% and 89% mash efficiency but decided to try a...

    Erlenmeyer flask size?

    Hi all Planning to get a Erlenmeyer flask to start making starters. Have found a nice 6000ml one for £30 which I assume is plenty big enough for anything I’ll ever make including good head room. However is there a down side of going too big? Additional starter related questions, how long can I...

    Quick question for any Grainfather owners

    This may sounds stupid but I think there may be a problem with part of the grainfather I received last week. The ‘Overflow Inlet’ (part 36 on the 3rd page of their manual) does not fit over the ‘top overflow pipe’ like I believe it should (step 8 on page 8 of the manual) I assume this is down...

I’ve done a few all grain batches (on the hob) but with a little girl who’s just turned 1 time is at a premium so anything to speed up the...

    Have I screwed 120 pints

    So kicked off a triple batch (using kits) for Christmas and put them in my fermenting fridge. All fine but I messed up (I blame lack of sleep induced by a 5 week old!) and the thermostat fell out the fridge while I was checking on them. This means the heating circuit kicked in and never cut...

    Corny Keg / regulator question

    Making the jump from the cheap plastic kegs to corny kegs and have 3 kegs and a regulator etc on the way. I've done a lot of reading as I fancy trying force carbonating. One thing I can't find is if there is a 1 way valve anywhere in the CO2 route? Either in the ball valve, grey quick...

    My first ever home brew, 2nd fermentation failed

    I got a homebrew kit for Xmas (Young's U-Brew) Short version Beer was a kit "Festival, Premium Ale - Spiced winter ale" It appears the secondary fermentation failed (no pressure in vessel, sweet and "tangy" tasting beer) A bit disappointed, any ideas why this could have happened as I don't...
