Thanks. That sounds about what I expected - I think getting one of these and a half inch ball valve is probably the way I'm going to go - and still cheaper than getting anything purpose built. I'm also looking at going the no-chill route, mostly just for the water saving, that and I do most of...

I'm also struggling to find a decent small pot at the moment, everything seems to be out of stock everywhere :( How do you find lifting and lugging this about - I've been thinking of one of these but have been hesitant because I'm not sure how well the handles are going to hold up to lifting...

Hey folks I'm fruitlessly searching for a 20 litre kettle at the moment to use on my wok burner. Was originally planning on getting the SS Brewtech 5.5 (US) Gallon one, but I emailed Malt Miller and they confirmed they weren't getting any more in as it's all been replaced with the much larger...

Thanks for the responses folks I'll check out the buckets, I found those initially, but had dismissed them because I'm not sure if they'll fit in the space I have available. I'll check though - Are you using a siphon to get the finished beer out of the bucket - I think I'm allergic to siphons...

I've done a couple of small 1 gallon batches now, and as my kits are all Northern Brewer stuff the only fermenting vessels I've got are 2 ridiculous 4L demijohns, which are already starting to annoy me. I don't have the space (or the kit, or really the inclination right now) to move up to huge...

Thanks :) It's the Dead Ringer IPA from Northern Brewer. I actually have 2 kits, One is made up and in the FV, but the second one was missing the yeast sachet, and I didn't realise this until after I'd steeped the grains :eek: so I'm waiting on some crystal malt and some safus-05 to arrive from...

Hi My first one gallon batch is 4 days into the ferment now, from an extract + steeping grain kit by Northern Brewer I got for my birthday. I'm already finding myself fascinated by the process, and thinking of things I want to try differently in brew number 2, so I guess that means I've got...
