BrewUK mainly, I collect as i'm in Salisbury quite often. I've tried to order from Malt Miller, but his website/payment screen was difficult and my order did not go through. I mainly get my hops in bulk from Simply Hops and the local brewery is very good in allowing me to piggyback on their...

Keep us updated on the progress abby, love a bit of dry hopping and i've got 10kg of Citra pellets that need to be used.

There were some Chinese copies on ebay for £13, some one linked them in a previous thread a few months back. Not sure if they were any good mind you.

lot of dead space in the bottom there, also echo the concerns about the size, i have a rectangular shaped copper pipe manifold, even with slots wheats give me stuck sparges very easily.

Tesco green carryall thingy - £3 Screwfix extractor kit - £12 old bathroom extractor fan - found in loft. Not brewing in a stream room - priceless

45l Igloo, chose it because it can do 10gallon brews and Barleywines. I have a spare one gathering dust in my loft, interested?

Your probably better off using warm 30c water rather than wort, as the sugar content can kill the yeast by getting through the cell wall whilst the yeast is re hydrating - according to some doctor bod who works for danstar or one of the other dried yeast companies. Or course, what works for you...

No experience of KK, but I have 2 budget kegs and some cornies. Save up and buy cornies, if you look after them they will serve you fizzy beverages for years.

Very nice job! Where did the taps come from?

I call it the hot break, dunno if it is or not. It is protein type stuff anyway, on lagers i'll skim the foam and the brown bits, don't bother too much for ales. Bit of trub puts hairs on your chest!

What type of water are you using for your Star San? Does your water go cloudy when you mix in the Star San?

BUMP!! Going for my 2nd pittys wheat. Double decoction planned. Will I lose a lot of flavour if I pitch on the last wheat cake?

You can fit 2 cornies and 3x2l bottles into the Hotpoint under counter freezer that I use.

I collected my fridge that I got via Freecycle this afternoon, considering the price ( £0 ) it's better than the one currently in my kitchen! Hotpoint "ice diamond" which is nice as it compliments the hotpoint freezer I also acquired via freecycle and is now a Keezer. As Muddy has done I'll...

I use Hopville, it always tells me to add X amount of boiling water to raise the mash tun to 85 / 86 for a mash out. Usually I'll ignore this and just fly sparge at 82
