    A few more novice questions after bottling my 3rd batch

    https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/how-i-do-bottling-day.62200/ may be some use for you. For my priming solution I weigh my brewing sugar in a jug and pour 250-300ml of boiling water and stir until dissolved. I then pour this into my bottling bucket and siphon on top of this. Since...

    Worst brewing mistake.

    Also guilty of the arm in brew when my peco tap blocked...realised the 2nd time I could just tip it (particularly as I filter through a sieve enroute to the FV).

    Life after PECO ?

    Was very happy with my peco and enjoyed making beer i really enjoyed with "budget" equipment. Unfortunately I burnt a wheat beer onto the element and upgraded to a 40l buffalo (and upgraded the tap). I like the concealed element and the 3 brews to date have gone pretty well.

    Boiling Kettel size

    https://www.nisbets.co.uk/buffalo-manual-fill-water-boiler/gl349 I upgraded to one of these at the end of August when my peco burnt my wiessbier.... A couple of diy tweaks to replace the tap and bypass the thermal cut off are advised (and very easy). Other tea urns work well and may require...
