Hi Cornish Knocker and Bernie. Another welcome, this time from Northern Italy, on the shore of Lake Maggiore.. Where are you? Tom

I use a 200w heater in a large plastic crate. These are the flip top crates you see in clothing stores that the goods come in. There are shallow and deep versions, generally 60cm x 40cm x 40cm, very strong. They stand on concrete blocks so that it is easier to lift them. The FV stands in the...

Fil: The performance was good, I could get a bit more heat out by increasing the gas pressure till the flame base leaves the burner. The stand gets a bit hot, I measured that at 238C, no wonder the hammerite paint was smelling...... The stand is a bit taller than I would have liked, the pot lip...

Just finished my BIAB set up,nothing to compete with barneey's set up! Test run today and 8Kw gas burner went from 20C to 85C in 36 minutes and then a slight technical problem. Ran out of gas in the cylinder... :clap: Then ran the hot water through my contraflow chiller (behind the red panel...

Just about to do a Wilco wine kit for the winter and see that they recommend 3kg of Brewing sugar. I dont have that in stock at the moment and not quickly available. Any issues with using normal sugar? Thanks

I have been brewing kits for some time and have just started collecting everything to move over to BIAB. I have been given a book called " Clone Brew, recipes for 200 commercial brews" by Szamatulski. Being very new to this I am confused as you seem to make a concentrate then dilute when in the...

After the sanitizer do you rinse with water?

yep well stired before the yeast went in, will check again tomorrow.

Just started my second brew, a Blackrock Colonial Lager. Added everything to the FV and took an SG, it was only 1036 which seems low. Is it? Thanks

wow, that's a lot of replies to a newbies hello. :cheers:

A quick 'Hi' from northern Italy. SHMBO bought me a brew kit for Christmas and after lurking here for a few months decided to say hello. At the moment a Blackrock Export Pilsner is brewing and hopefully be bottled in the next few days. There are some excellent begineers post, thanks to those...
