I bought 4 crates when I started brewing 6 years ago. Used many times. None have leaked and they have kept their fizz.

Crisp German Pilsen Malt Crushed, Hop Pellets – Saaz – 2018 2.2% AA please!

I know we're not supposed to say it but we are sort of at war, a proxy war at least.

I like using a syringe to add priming sugar and finings to bottles. I've been transfering from FV to bottling bucket and bulk priming in the process but I'm planning to bottle straight from FV so will try the syringe.

I've never used post boil finings in beer but I've bought some to try out. I've noticed when I BIAB stove top, if I chuck everything from the boil into the fermenter including protofloc, trub, the lot, the beers come out clear and bright. I think there is a Brulosophy that found the same. I'm...

I liked The Responder. I would say not entirely bleak. 'Chloe' on iplayer is good.

There wasn't much objection to removing Jimmy Savile statues that commemorated his charitable work. Why keep statues of slavers? Makes no sense to me.

I wonder if one of you would be very kind and tell me the external height with the lid off and recirculation pipe removed. Also the external diameter. I'm struggling to find these measurements online and I'm short of storage in my flat.... 35L version..

Yes, and the boil is both batches of water (wort). If you have two pots, you could pre-heat the second warmer batch of water then as you have a bag, lift bag and grain out of first pot at 60m, leaving wort in the pot and dunk the bag with grain into second pot with preheated water. Wait 10 mins...

Hi Smokinmesa, what you are doing is setting aside (by pouring off) the water (wort) you have made first by sitting the grainand water for an hour. Then you add more water at higher temperature to the grain that's left in the original vessel to get more of the sugar and malt out to increase...
