Let me know if there's too many of these type of posts and I'll stop - just wanted to share!! Got a spare bit of kitchen surface from a pal and a few breakfast bar legs from Ebay The HLT and start of connection to 12v pump. The 2-ballvalve manifold will be fitted to the wall above the...

Just been reading an old thread about isolating the thermal cut-out on a Buffalo boiler. The author doesn't accept PMs but there was talk of unscrewing the pink sensor attached to the underside of the element. Any idea whether this worked? This was the thread...

Went in search of a brew-pub here in Atlanta. Chose the sampler....... All sh!t

Wondering the streets of Chicago and spotted this in Walgreens. $3.99 for a 3lb tub - bought it on the off-chance that it would do the job of cleaning my HB stuff. Thanks...

Tried googling it - no luck!

Still mid-build on the AG setup - now need some scales for grain weighing!!

Suggestions please! Ta.

I am taking a look through this book and notice that most of his recipes require the addition of sugar. At what stage in the process is this added? Many thanks.

Had a couple of hours 'off' today so got to work on the first elements of my AG setup. Managed to get a two 40L Buffalos on offer from Nesbits: First, remove the tap and increase the size of the hole: Fit the new connector up And on with the ball valve A 5mm hole...

Went to a pub the other day and while I was using the 'facilities', I thought.......'Hmmmmm, shiny'!!!!!! (in a Homer Simpson voice!) Does anyone else have this problem?

Its my birthday, the wife's at work, kids at school it's time to brew!! My first partial, Midwest Octane IPA - next full AG!! The kit: Mash temp ok at start: In with the grains... Its a cheap stock-pot, on with the sleeping bag!! Not too bad after 30 mins mash...

Any recommendations (possibly a link?) Doesn't need a tap as going to do some modifications. Ta!

Ok, I'm going to give it a go! One area I'm finding difficult is the ball valve and hop-straining arrangement (want to do the wire pipe method). Can anyone direct me to the exact items I need? The BES website is huuuuuuuuuge! i.e ball valve, piping and means of connecting these together. Thanks

Would this be good for mash/sparge water? Could I disconnect the tap and replace it with a ball valve so I can attach some tubing which will go to the mash tun? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USED-BURCO-20 ... 500wt_1378 Also, looking for a boiler; the Brupaks one is £165 - are there any others...

Bought a few cans of Coopers LME to add to various brews. Someone elsewhere on this forum (can't find the thread) said that it needs a boil; is this correct?

Had a spare 'child-less hour' today so made a brew. Liked the Coopers IPA but thought it lacked a certain, like the French say, 'I don't know what'... So 1 Can Coopers IPA Kit 500g Light DME 700g Brewing Sugar (dextrose) 1 ltr 'Hop tea' (1 oz Goldings boiled for 10 mins) OG 1047 - thought it...

Just about to do my first partial. Thinking towards the secondary....do I just syphon the wort off the yeast cake into a clean FV and leave it? If so, what fermentables are left? Enough? Or do I give it a stir and transfer? And how long in the 2nd FV before bottling/kegging? Thanks.

Toying with venturing into BIAB. One of the recipe's I'm looking at boils about 3 gallons, cools using a wort chiller then tops up with water to 5 gals when in the fermenter. Why can't you cool the wort to pitching temperature by the addition of cold top-up water? :wha: :wha:

Hi, bad timing... I have one cornie of carbonated beer and one cornie of newly kegged cider. We are going on holiday for 2 weeks on friday - how should I manage the kegs so they don't spoil or contaminate during my absence? What should I do with the gas? I have a regulator with 2 outlets but...

Yes, I know I will one day cross over the boundary but just for now, my 3 favourite beers are: T Taylors Golden Best Theakstons Old Peculiar Black Sheep Are there any kits that get even vaguely close? If so, any recommendations appreciated! I am currently in Delhi drinking Kingfisher -...
