Use a KM8 bearing nut instead of the plastic shroud: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEARING-OPTIO ... 337d1b5797 I use these in the small rig. 1 in the HLT and 2 in the boiler.

Here's my first attempt: Now on the lookout for an additional larder fridge as this one only holds 2 cornys and a fire extingusher size co2 bottle: It's been sat empty for the last 6 months due to the newborn but will soon be full again.... :)

Arrived today Vossy. Thanks again :thumb:

There is always the betta bottle range: http://www.better-bottle.com/ There are plenty of suppliers in the UK and do appear on eBay quite regulary. I have 2 and have kept beer in them for 2 months and never tasted any off flavours. Switched myself to these after my 5G carboy shattered for no...

Rust in the keg? I had one like that and just soaked it with oxi cleaner and hot water. half hour later it was gleaming.

Andy / Vossy Cheers for the reply. The ebay ones seem to be rated only up to 60 degrees. I'm going to have a decent search on google at the weekend for 15mm SS versions as i've already bought the tube. Here is a decent place for the JG versions: http://www.airlinkcompressors.co.uk/pro ...

Nice build. What fitting have you used for the sight glass? I have only seen the plastic john guest push fittings used. Cheers K

They used to sell on ebay too under the same name. I think the cheaper ones they sold were the ones with no pressure release valve.

Here is a cheaper one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIAL-GAUGE-RI ... 19d798a9ec Comes with a 100mm 1/2" BSP thermopocket too.

This was waiting for me on my return from work. Looks spot on :thumb: Next step is to stop buying parts and put the brewery together!! Cheers

Looks interesting so just ordered a 10mm one. Cheers

25lt is a bit big. The fermenter is opened a few times to add the extra sugar and add the flavour pack. This would leave a big airspace which could cause oxidation. I may be wrong as i'm not really a wine maker. Someone more experienced should be able to clarify this. If i recall correctly this...

Me and a mate split it between us. Still not cheap though i agree

I made the chocolate raspberry one last year and was well impressed with it. All juice kit which requires no water addition. sugar, flavour packs, etc all included as well as labels for the bottles. Cracked the first bottle open when it was only 2 months old and well enjoyed it. I've managed...

If this is true then it wasn't made clear when i visited them. No details were exchanged and i walked out the shop with a bottle on the basis of bring it back and exchange it for a filled one. I've only exchanged it once and they didn't need any form of proof that i had the original from them...

The portable keg chargers work quite well. I think i went through 2 x 16g bulbs for a full keg when i took one away with me. It was already fully carbed up though. Like dave1970 says, extend the beer line for the party tap and you should be fine. You have to find the correct bulbs though as...

This place http://ctcwitney.co.uk/index.php/ I emailed them and they replied the same day. You need to have a bottle to exchange or buy one from them.

Beat me to it :D

You will be struggling with a £80 budget. Have a look at Norm's eBay page for pretty much everything you need. Keg, disconnects and basic tap: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORNELIUS-19- ... 337d3da7ea CO2 is probably the biggest hassle. I was lucky and found a place in Oxfordshire who will...

I think you may be right about just a transport medium. I tried using between 3 and 5g and each time there was a great amount of foam. I've tried the tap fully open and slightly open. Obviously slightly open created a jet of ale which turned immediatley to foam when it hit the glass. Once the...
