I’m with Clint on this one. If the law says I’m not aloud to give beer to freeloading gannets (even if they are related) then I must sadly tell them take a hike. 🥳 Sad, but so be it.

I’m looking for a FV to fit into my fermentation fridge with pressure fermenting in mind. Fridge dimensions: Height: 49cm Depth: 43cm Width : 44cm Stainless steel ideally but that may be one step too far at the moment. Any suggestions?

Ok…. Jealous

These prices are very good. Do they provide detailed fermenting characteristics for the yeast? On initial inspection I couldn’t see anything.

I like the efficiency of my counter flow chiller but I always feel it’s an act of faith that I have cleaned, sterilised and rinsed sufficiently after use and rely on running through with boiling wort before chilling as an insurance policy.
