Wort level rising ,pump stops working...what could it be? Thanks

Hi there, After about 60 brews over 6 years or so I am starting to have a crisis of confidence. In my first 55 brews I had like 3 which didn't come out well, and one of them I am sure was due to poor storage of the yeast during the height of summer. However in the past 5 or 6 brews I have...

Hi, as some here will know, increasing age often means decreasing alcohol intake, and with the winding down my all grain production line I've got some kit to get rid of. Fairly basic kit, but perhaps useful to someone. Top of the pile are a Peco Electrim only ever used for water, and a cool-box...

Hi All, I am new member and new to this hobby , I did a search , but there isn't any specific about wine making equipment post. There is whole sub forum for beer making..! Can someone guide me the equipment I will need if I start with 30 bottle ?, I am not keen on plastic fermenter ( all the...

The fermenter must be able to be pressurized to 15 psi. It needs to be able to be cooled. New would be great but good quality used equipment would be fine too. We recently moved to the UK from America and don’t know who supplies the UK microbrewery/nanobrewery scene. My other half and I have...

Hi Brewers, So I've just bought myself a nice new beer engine and was wondering about peoples experiences. My goal (as probably with most of us) is to mimic that perfect pub pulled pint as closely as possible but trying to prolong life for normal home drinking rather than the high turnover of...

Hi all, Does anybody have any experience using the IKEA Tillreda (2,000W) induction hob for a larger batch size e.g. 25L+ pre boil volume? Looking to buy one as much cheaper than some alternatives, but a little concerned it will not be able to sufficiently boil such a volume. Any other...

Hi All, After a few months of thinking about it I've decided to give home-brewing a go, this post is probably going to be long but I'd like to give as much info to people as possible in case anyone has any feedback for me, I've spent a lot of time watching videos and reading but still feel like...

I've now brewed a few batches in the starter kit that I first purchased, and am very much enjoying this new hobby. I'd like to invest in some equipment to allow me to increase the size from the current 5l batches to somewhere between 10 and 15l. I'd prefer stainless steel over plastic or glass...

After thinking about it for a couple of months I finally have some spare cash to buy some equipment to start brewing with! I'm looking to jump straight into all-grain brewing and am looking for some advice. I planning on getting the Brooklyn Brew Shop BrewDog Elvis Juice kit...

I have been researching or possibly over-thinking my re-entry into the home brewing circle. Many years ago, lest millennia somewhere I made some beer using a process that involved boiling things and making the house smell much better than the wet dog in the kitchen. I recall a big bucket with a...

I'm trying to connect my new SS Brewtech Brite Tank (10 gallon size) to a CO2 cylinder. What I thought would be a simple affair is anything but. The CO2 regulator I have came with a John Guest 3/8 connector: https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/premium-co2-regulator/ I'm using this line...

I’m looking at buying one of the 50l systems, most likely the Hopcat and want to bottle my beer initially. What additional equipment do I need? I’m struggling to get together an exact list but so far think I need: Chiller (comes with Hopcat) 2x 25l stainless steel fermenters with air locks...

Hi, So I’ve just bought some equipment and looking forward to my first brew day (hopefully next week). Done a lot of research and feel relatively ready to start but just want to check something about my new equipment. So I have a mash tun, a stock pot and what I assumed was a HLT to begin...

Disclaimer: I'm aware that there are ca. 15m discussions on modifying Buffalo boilers, but I'm not quite finding the answer to my problem. So here it goes... I recently purchased a Buffalo GL349 (https://www.nisbets.co.uk/buffalo-manua ... iler/gl349), only to find out - while brewing - that it...
