Hey folks. Not been around for a while as you can probably tell from the topic. I started a brew about 2yrs ago and it's still sat there untouched. Is it best to bin the lot and start again or do you think the blanket of CO2 will have been retained and the brew will be OK? Cheers

Hi folks. Long time no see. Well I need a part for a reg. it's a Cornelius regulator And I need the part that's plugging the outlet/inlet hole on the right hand side. I've been told it's a 3/8 bsp thread but finding one is proving difficult. I'm really hoping someone can help me on here. Ta

Hi all. I think I've finally got my leaky regulator sorted but something is happening that is confusing me. I gassed up the reg and then turned off the valve on the cylinder last night. I checked it this morning (5am) and the reading had dropped, I've just checked it again now and the reading is...

Is the tyre on the front wheel different from the tyre on the rear wheel on a mountain bike? I've just ordered a new tyre and only just realised it says It's a "Kenda Kinetics Front"

Hi folks. If anyone lives in Sheffield and fancies helping me out I would be very great full :-) Anthony

Hi folks. So my leaky reg finally got the better of me and emptied my cylinder for me. The leak seamed to be coming from where the inlet screwed into the reg body. After a lot of hard work I've managed to get the inlet tail off but it's now knackered so I need to know how best to reattach the...

Hi folks. I started a TC a week ago Thursday kit gone. It was bubbling away quite ferociously but I've checked it again today and all the froth has settled and there is Jo activity in the air-lock. I was expecting it to take (from what I have read on here) about 2 - 3 weeks to ferment. What's...

I'm going to order THIS REGULATOR to attach to my corny. Would I need THE TAIL or would I be better getting something like THIS Anthony

Cooking tea the other evening and BOOM, the glass in the oven door just shattered shooting shards of glass all over the kitchen. Unfortunately for me I was stood right in front of it at the time :-( It's only 6 months old too!

I've started a TC today and it's fermenting nicely :-) Anyway, I've stuck a U-Bend style airlock in the top of the demijohn but now it wont fit inside the airing cupboard. I was thinking about changing the airlock for a 2/3 piece airlock which is a bit shorter and would then fit inside the...

Knocked this together tonight and thought I would share it with you all :-) :cheers:

So I've just done a red wine kit that came with oak chips. Should I loose the chips when transferring from the primary to the secondary or leave them in and loose them when I go from the secondary to the bottles/demijohns? Anthony

Probably a strange question but if you bought a lager kit could you turn it into an IPA by just adding less sugar at the secondary fermentation or would it have to be a specific IPA kit? I would think it would just be a very lightly carbonated lager! I'm guessing the answer is no but this is...

Has anyone ever used liquid thread sealant? Any brands anyone can recommend? I've looked at Locktite 542 and and Fernox LS-X and these two seem to get good reviews. Just wondering if anyone else has ever used them and what there thoughts are. Crofty

I put a wine kit on last Friday. The fridge it's gone into doesn't work so I was using it for insulation purposes. The last two days have been really warm and the STC-1000 has been reading 29 degrees when I get home from work. Will two days at this temperature have caused any issues? I've...

Just got this off freecycle Been after one for ages but never been able to be the first to grab it

I'm in need of some new washers and o-rings for my regulator (it has the slowest leak in the world) but can't seem to find a good place to buy them from that sells them so small. Any pointers folks :-) Cr0fty

I am about to pitch the yeast into a wine kit but when I checked the temp it was 24 degrees and the recommended temp was 20. Does it make a difference if the temp is too high/low when you pitch the yeast or should you wait until the wort reaches optimal temp before pitching? Also, when making...

I'm curious. Are the disconnects and posts on the corny kegs one or two way valves? Crofty
