Anyone? I was hoping to order the stuff and brew some this weekend.

I must be missing something here. Where is the recipe?

Yep that is what will be throwing me. Not a metric thread then?

I have broken the adapter that connects my regulator to a John Guest connector. The regulator is one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MIG-Gas-Regul ... 1c28cab7c8 The broken bit is the part that screws into the side of the regulator and then connects into a JG adapter which then connects to...

I have just reached FG on a batch of Effin stout, would you recommend some time in a secondary before putting it into the corny? At the same time would beer brite be recommended or is it just too dark a beer to need that? Ridley

Do you know any teachers?

When you say steep the hops at 80 degrees do you add at 80 degrees and continue cooling or add at 80 degrees for X minutes and then continue cooling? Ridley

Yes it came with a K type probe. It will work with a PT100 though Ridley

Has anyone used the Sestos D1S-VR-220 PID? I am looking at the "manual" http://www.sestos-hk.com/english/download/d1s-en.pdf Am I right in thinking that pins 1, 11 and 12 are for the alarm so I can ignore if no alarm fitted? Pins 3, 4 are for the tthermocouple so what is 5 for? I presume it...

Yesterday I made a Marstons Porter clone and started the fermentation. Today the FV feels warm to the touch and when measured is nearly 30 degrees C I have never had a batch get this warm before (the room it is in is in the high teens BTW), should I put it somewhere cooler? Ridley

What sort of fan do you use for the extraction? I only ask as there is an awful lot of moisture to shift so presumable it has to be waterproof? Ridley

Same sort of problem except I have lost all the CO2 in my CO2 cylinder, I couldnt hear it leaking at all so to lose that much in a few days surprises me. Now I have the problem of trying to find a supplier in the Essex area, any ideas? Ridley

I have been looking on ebay for a PT100 and they all seem to come with a long metal probe, how do you use these in your HLT/Boiler? I would have thought that a shorter probe would be more convenient or am I missing something? Ridley

I have just taken delivery of a nice new shiny 50l stockpot and a Haden element to fit to it. Has anyone got any advice as to how high up the pot to cut the hole for the element? If it is too low I would think it would be difficult to pull the steel flatish to get a good seal and too high and...

Could be worse I spent hours yesterday retro fitting an STC1000 to my recently deceased LIDL boiler. Last night I was testing it and all seemed well but when I checked the displayed temp against that on my trusty alcohol thermometer there was about a 10-15 degree difference with the STC...

Lidl are doing them this week

My LIDL boilers electronics died last weekend and rather than throw it away I have connected an ST1000 to the element, I figure at the very least I could use it as a HLT. I had to replace the temperature probe and have used a flanged plug (http://www.screwfix.com/p/brass-flanged-plug/74849) as a...

OK I shall continue searching....

I have seen plenty of pics of people making boilers using these elements. However I have only seen pictures of the wiring that looks pretty lethal on the outside of the boiler maybe I have just been looking at the wrong pics. I have seen the ones that use an old sealent gun tube to provide...

Thanks for reply, I might give the ST1000 a try then that just arrived today. Only problem I can see is that the ST1000 can only drive 10A and if you had more than one kettle element then I do not think it would be able to drive it after all a 1700w Tesco element draws over 7A. So is this one...
