Now sold :cheers:

Unfortunately due to a couple of reason I need to part with my brewing set up, looking ideally to sell complete rather than break into separate items (hence the low price :D ) Mash Tun 60Ltr Boiler Copper cooling worm Undercounter fridge complete with heater element and STC1000...

Great choice on the yeast, it really makes a huge difference. Should turn out excellent.

Yesterday I managed to retrieve my parcels from pacellost and thanks to the lovely people at Brew, I now have a nice Merlot and a box of Wobblygob fermenting. Making the cider is surprisingly similar to wine making as in it consists of simply a really thick concentrate which you obviously just...

I`d be interested in that, not heard of anything local though. :cheers:

Hi all, I was recently after a few more demijohns for a TC`athon, so hunted around and eventually bought 4 for a fiver on Ebay as they were local. Go them home to my better half saying "see them all the time on freecycle!" so thought I`d have a little look and lo and behold some advertised on...

I have a couple of TCs on the go and am using WLP775 cider yeast after reading some excellent reviews, had a sneaky taste yesterday when bottling and it is spot on. I have also been growing it up on the stir plate to stretch it further as it isn't the cheapest. I prime each of my 500ml bottles...

The Guiness clone from GW`s book is a cracking brew. Hugely drinkable.

It would be a beast of a brew eh !! So now it is: 3.122 Pale Malt 0.631 Crystal Malt 0.689 Cane Suager 0.050 Black Malt 50g Challenger - Start of boil 25g Challenger - Last 15 25g Target - Last 15 Probably chuck the rest in at turn off, not sure I want to try dry hopping with pellets. I...

Cheers gents, Gone for adding 689g Cane sugar (all that is in the cupboard!) and 50g Black malt. Brewmate says it will be 4.99%, thats fine by me :-) Now to sort the hop schedule.

Hi all, Today I have decided to use all that I have in the brew shed to make space and clear the "old" for a new delivery, I have this: 2886g Pale Malt 583gCrystal Malt 666g Black Malt 100g Target Hops 60g Challenger Hops I plan to use only the pale and crystal malt and all the hop pellets...

I used Gelatine in my last brew a forward hopped IPA as I have concerns that I may have developed a yeast allergy (will do another thread for that!) and was looking at a clearer and hopefully reduced yeast brew. Basically I forgot to add Irish Moss at the end of the boil but just cooled and...

I like the wide necks sold in Wilkos as said above, easier to carry.

When I transfered it from the FV into the barrel/ bottles it smelt so good that I let it be. Should be able to have a little taste this weekend (haven`t been this excited about a brew for ages) will update then, most probably hammered!!

This will sort out your co2 issues, to answer your other question, your keg will be ok for about 50% approx, after that youll need some sort of means of getting pressure into the barrel. Hambleton Bard S30 is what most use but the bulbs will sort your purpose too. Apologies dollo12345 for...
