No need to seperate trub or make a starter then? And only 100ml! Sorted I beter start decanting into containers then. Do you know how long it will be ok for in the fridge before I have to start making starters with it?

Hi Guys, Well I have been kindly given a fair amount of yeast from a brewery but I am unsure how much of it to use. Heres a piccy of the bottles:- I was going to decant the wort on top of the yeasty sludge and just pitch about half of it (approx 500ml) but then I dont really know whats...

Hose came today, and a mighty fine hose it is too! Thanks Vos, I'm uber-grateful!

Thanks for all the info (and hard work). Gonna use my normal 37mbar jobbie but indoors so I will see if it makes a difference. Cheers :cheers:

To be honest I bought the gas so I could brew "outdoors" as my homemade leccy plastic 30ltr boiler was destroying our kitchen paintwork and gettin in the way of swmbo. So it has been a bit drafty, though I was using wind breaks. luckily for me my next door neighbour has kindly "given" me his...

Thanks mate, may have to get a 50mbar 1kg per hour version then, as mine is 37mbar 1.5kg per hour and I will be dammned if I can get a rolling boil!

Cant see from the pic how many kg per hour yours is, dont suppose you know?

Righty now im uber confused. So these low pressure regs come in 37mbar and 50mbar. Whats the difference - does 50 allow more heat? They also come in 1kg / 1.5kg and 4kg per hour capacities which I assume is the rate of gas coming out (so my 13kg canister would only last 3 and a bit hours on a...

Sweet, those are cheap enough anyhoo so I may as well upgrade. Ta for all the help peeps!

Thanks for the reply, tell me - what position do you have the silver breather thingy? (yeah Im that technical!)

Brilliant, I will have a look for that. I have a dial at the base of the burner which restricts flow so I can still adjust it from there if the whole 4kg per hour is too much I assume? If not then it would be a waste of gas if I cannot adjust it. Also it says sutible for a 4.5kg calor...

Hi Guys, Im having a few issues with the new(ish) setup. I bought a 70ltr nordic pot and a gas ring from hamiltons here - http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/Large_Square_Gas_Boiling_Ring.html. I didnt really think about the regulator so when I scrolled down the page I just bought a 37mbar...

So basically...... Stainess it has to be then! I dont want any hassle from using the ally keg if its gonna shed weird stuff in me beer! Ta for the help peeps, I take it nordic optical from the french ebay are still selling!

um err.... unsure.... he said he has had it for years and years and the brewery will never take it back as there is no brewery anymore! I will shout him tonight to make sure, ta for the heads up.

Hi peeps, I have used the search button on this forum and spent hours looking at various google pages but I still need help! I was given a uber old keg from a landlord which is made of ally a couple of days ago when I was at his beer fest! I use a placcy diy boiler and wanted to "updrade" to...

Thanks again guys, I have GW's brew your own book and also Ray daniels designing great beers book so I will have a closer look soon. It would be great to see your house brew markp, thanks for sharing!

I found that since using water treatments my beer as gone from good to really really good. Its the single biggest difference to my beer.

Cheers again. So it looks like I wasnt a million miles away with the amount of crystal used just the hop schedule and time. I think for my next I will have a look on what others are brewing and base a recipe. I had a look at big kenny, I take it thats along the lines im looking for? Ta, Nath

Ta for the replys lads. So should I include chocolate malt with crystal or base a recipe around pale and chocolate? @Moley - Ta for the times I will do longer boils for me malty ones! Im looking for more colour than just pale malt though, thats where I get confused due to recipe formulation...

Hi again peeps! Well Im pretty much sorted on IPA's and I know I can turn around a decent drinkable english or american (or a mix) IPA with my limited knowledge. What Im looking for is a good ordinary or premium bitter (anything in the BJCP 8 catergory). I have Ray Daniels book and I have...
