Thanks! I might give it another bash at 80 then

How did people find the above brew? I found that an 80°c mash gave really quite an astringent taste and dropping it to 74°c made it much nicer at the expense of more alcohol. Are other people not finding the astringency at 80°c, there’s always the possibility that it’s something with my process

If you put something in the Wanted and For Sale forum you might have some luck. I think that the trouble is you're going to need someone pretty local with a decent sized vehicle to collect it and at that point it's very much a buyer's market. Best of luck

Hi there, From my experience of selling brewing related things, on here and elsewhere, your biggest issue isn't price but collection. Where in the country are you? R

Hi there, I built and tested this a while ago before deciding that a felt happier with programmatic control with a homemade all in one BIAB vessel. Anyway, it comprises 38l (I think, Aldi cool box), 3-piece ball valve, helix filter, 1/2 inch tee, 1/2 inch straight nipple, 2x stainless steel...

This is gone now. I sold the chest freezer on its own. If anyone has any thoughts on why folks weren't interested in this I'd be interested. Do you think it was the size? The price? Or is it just a demand in Sheffield issue? I'll set up a new post if anyone wants the shanks! Thanks

Without the collar it's 55cm*55cm*83cm (photos attached) I've taken the collar off so don't have exact measurements but it'll add the width of a scaffold board to each side so call it 60x60 and then probably another 15cm in height so best estimate 60x60x100 (without the taps sticking out of the...

Hi there, I decided to change up my garage dispensing so am getting rid of my keezer. It's basically a 102l chest freezer that fits 4 kegs (as long as they are tall ones) with a (admittedly ugly but effective) collar and 4x10cm shanks. I had it with an STC-1000 on but I've taken that to the...

I'm not far away from you at all, just in Sheffield. Let me know how it goes if the other person planning to collect can't make it I can pop over whenever suits you. Regarding the Dragons films, I must admit to letting them wash over me as the kids watch them but I was always a little confused...

Hi nitefury, I'd be interested but don't think I'd feel right about just taking it. Perhaps, if you had a favourite charity I could make a donation to that if that worked for you? Also, excellent choice of name, my sons are very into those films R

What're you looking for? Just the kegs or regulators, taps, connectors? A converted fridge or freezer even? I think a problem you might have is that Corny Kegs are essentially immortal so they hold their value really well. If I was buying today I'd be looking at something reconditioned from...

I'm not sure it's their choice. Obviously the economics of the situation have changed so they've withdrawn their UK offering. I'm sure this upsets them more than us as it's a comparatively big market they're losing. Then again if they've accepted an order taken money and are not fulfilling it...

I was just checking an order I've got outstanding with THBC and there's now a banner saying they're no longer delivering to UK addresses. I'm assuming this is part of the new VAT business

I understand that you don't want to leave your dry hops in for too long as you might get a "grassy" taste but 6 days is nothing to worry about. They won't have added significant bitterness either as they weren't boiled, they're an aroma addition. I'm surprised that you're finding it way too...

I'm a grumpy git who has a problem that I often argue principle rather than letting things slide pragmatically. I have been known to quote clauses of the consumer rights act or GDPR regulations at people who I don't think are behaving appropriately. If they hadn't refunded or sent the missing...
