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

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

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...

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...

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...

Does anyone know what the capacity on a Burco F33L is? I would suspect 33l but I am not sure as I cannot find any information on the web. Ridley

Do people who have a wort cooler cool the wort in the boiler or in a seperate FV? I am just asking as it occurs to me that adding hops a few minutes from the end for the flavour and then letting them seep in the cooling wort for 1/2hr might not be counter productive, or does it have little...

I bought some pale crystal malt when I meant to buy Crystal malt can I use it in the same recipe? Or should I wait till I have a recipe that calls for it? Ridley

Hi, Just introducing myself. I have just got back into home brewing and decided to go AG this time, I only used kits before and did not really have too much success (leaking pressure barrels never helped). Made my first batch of SNPA in the summer and what a difference AG and cornies make...
