I'm in the process of fitting a sight glass to my converted keg HLT. The keg is a bottom drain, so I thought I'd be clever and tee off the pipe coming out the bottom and attach the sight tube to that. It works perfectly until... (you've guessed it) I come to drain the HLT. At which point, it...

I've wired up both my temperature controllers. The heating circuit works fine, but for some reason as soon as it switches to the cooling circuit my RCD trips. I've wired them according to this diagram. Apologies for the quality. I'm not using my own computer and I couldn't figure out how to draw...

I've managed to get hold of a second hand Dalex tap to replace the "picnic" tap that's currently on my Corny. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how the pipework will attach to it. It looks to me like there is a John Guest fitting coming out of the back of it. The outside diameter of...

Hi all. I've been brewing for a while now using kits (with varying success) and I'd like to go for something a little more challenging. I've got a book that describes a slightly more involved process (what it calls Intermediate Brewing) that uses unhopped malt extract and starts from there. I...
