    TCP Taste again ....

    I had a recent brew, it is still in the FV after 3 weeks had been sitting at 20 deg c , I was hoping the 'take your breath away clinical' smell would go away, it hasn't though so I suspect I will have to ditch it now. It was my first BIAB, all went really well on brew day, spot on with og...

    Gas burner, canister/tubing/fittings advice + availability

    The photo probably resembles what I was getting with the low pressure regulator, I was outside in daylight and it just looked weak beside the high pressure, The High pressure reg really was scary sounding and looking, So I am quite glad to see this is what I should expect while brewing, nice...

    Gas burner, canister/tubing/fittings advice + availability

    Hi there, I'm in a similar position to you with my gas burner, I was wondering how you're getting on and if your happy with it? I have bought the same burner, I happened to have a high pressure reg on 6mm hose. Which sounded and looked like a jet engine! I asked a friend who knows more about...

    It doesn't look pretty but it works a treat, it's 300w and not particularly hot, it comes on for about 2 minutes every hour or two max.

    Fermenting fridge - questions

    Hi Robo, I'm still interested, keep on posting. On a side note, I use a boot dryer connected to a thermostat in the fridge for carbing my bottles and it works fantastically. It's low wattage and brings the temperature to target in literally minutes and with 4 hose ducts can be directed to...

    Moving off of my electric hob

    Which do you reckon heats the water quicker, the 7.4kw gas or a couple of 2.4kw kettle elements? I'm torn between the 2. I was also tempted for a 400mm paella burner.

    Help with my first brew, Coopers Canadian blonde

    Thanks for the advice, I will be away with work for two weeks. Would there be any harm leaving it at 22deg for this period or should I have the heat turned off after another week?
