I've had one of those since last Christmas and it's fantastic. Highly recommended.

I've had one for a year and it's bloody brilliant.

I just try not to waste things unnecessarily. But you're right it is relatively cheap.

Love the diagram. Yes I'm sure that would work. I just like the look of the stainless steel one as it all comes apart for easy cleaning and I the spring clip to hold it in position. The plastic sorts never work that well in my experience.

Wow that's impressive stuff. 14 years 🤣 Think my 2 month old stuff will be fine. Cheers

I put one in the dish washer and ruined it. The rubber plunger thing wore out on another one. Bought another one yesterday so hopefully it'll last longer.

Thanks guys 👍

Hi, has anyone used out of date yeast? I have 3 packs of Lallemand East Coast that expired in June. Seems a shame to chuck it. Obviously it's been kept in the fridge.

I'm trying to source one at the mo. Been through 3 useless plastic ones at £20 each already. Cant seem to get one in uk anymore as the Malt Miller has stopped supplying them. Buying one direct from Brewsssential would cost $180 plus god knows what import duties.

Thank you Chippy Tea👍

Hi, has anyone on here used either of these all-in-one systems? Been looking at these two from geterbrewed.com Up to now, I've just been doing all grain biab action but want to upgrade a bit. Are these systems worth the cash? Is there that much difference between just boiling it on a hob? TIA...

Hi, just wondered if anyone in the East or West midlands (UK) has used any gypsum or calcium chlorides? I live about 15 miles from Burton upon trent so my water should be pretty good so us it worth me doing it. Has any one had a water report from their supplier? Is it easy to do and worth doing...

I've never heard of that. You'd think it would very gloopy though.

Cheers Jon. Good article.

Ok Thank you. Would you say there are any advantages to torrefied over malted. Is there any point in buying torrefied if i end up buying 10kg of malted to do some wheat beers?
