I have a Cascad growing in my garden and just as the vine was around 7 feet the tip of the hop broke. Subsequently the rest of the plant has gone off in every direction- sprouted arms from beneath the leafs.I have one more vine coming off the rhizome(out of the earth) and my aim is to maximise...

Fantastic! Thanks for that Fil :)

Hi, I'm trying to make a rotating sparge arm out with a john guest T-fitting like this one here (but 10mm): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEM0222W-John-Guest-JG-Speedfit-22mm-Equal-T-JG-Speed-Fit-Tee-Piece-/271770831677?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f46cdcb3d. I've used plastic beer line as...

Yeah, I may do that though I was hoping to avoid making holes in the side of the fridge in case there's coolant running there

Hi, A quick question regarding CO2 regulators. I have read that they don't like moisture but I experience that when I open the kegerator there's a hell of a lot of condensation on it. Is this harmful to the regulator? Cheers

I have the same mash tun and did an 18 litre batch in it the other day with no problems. I just made sure I warmed it up properly. I don't know how much it has to say but it could be useful to put the lid on for 5 mins when, say, 80% of the mash is mixed inside the pot. That way you can make...

Haha, your comments reflect the little I've read about peated. That said, I tried "100% peated: almost undrinkable" from a Norwegian brewery (Nøgne Ø) the other week and I must admit, it was a pleasant surprise. Absolutely not a session beer but surprisingly more than drinkable than you'd...

Hi, I just got a kilo of peated malt from a friend who works at a whiskey distillery and was wondering if anyone has any tried and tested recipes with peated? I was thinking about an imperial stout? About 8% peated? I'd like to make medium-to very smokey beer without it being total overkill...

What's the best way of cutting the holes neatly? Does a stanley go through the plastic?

I had originally intended to build my own sparge arm but after reading some horror stories of people on here who have done that(6 attempts and still not right!), I started looking at this one here: http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/aca ... ml#a100138 Does anyone have this one here? Any good...

Great! Thanks for that Vossy :)

OK. Just to be sure - apologies for silly questions, I'm new to this game- but the mini mag doesn't require an additional Hornby train controller or whatever? It adjusts itself automatically in accordance with the flow of liquid??

I need a couple of pumps. One for sparge arm and one for transferring wort over to boiler (which may also be used to a whirlpool). Any thoughts on the Mini mag coupled pump Vs Solar? Am I right in thinking Solar isn't so good at tackling wort with bits of grain and/or hops? In the mini mag any...

Excellent! Thanks a lot for the advice :) Cheers L

Hi, Quick question here from a relative newby. I have a 50L batch of American Pale Ale in the fermentor just now. A Sierra Nevada clone that I've made a couple of times before. Magnum and Perle in the Boil and then Cascade at the end and dry hopping(50 grams dry). I would like to dry something...

And that's 3/8" for both the CO2 line and the beer line?

Ah, thanks for that :) When I said 'blow' the regulator, I meant more specifically that I have read that there is a danger of ruining it by getting beer into it?

Hi! I know there was a thread about cornelius keg and Co2 setup just recently but I have a couple of questions specific to my gear and would appreciate any advice. I'm just about about to go to work on my kegerator. I have the fridge, the taps, the CO2, the cornies and the regulator . What I...

Excellent! I was having a peek at these here, but dont see how that fitting will make it all the way through an insulated fridge door. Do I have to order a shank with this? http://www.homebrewmegastore.co.uk/shop ... x-tap.html

Hei, I'm looking for a bit of advice with buying taps for a kegerator. Had anyone ordered Perlicks from the states? How much roughly would a set of 4 Stainless Steel Perlicks(after customs)? And what about plastic taps? Do they work well enough? Any advice much appreciated Cheers L
