I'll give filtering a go plus I'm going to go to my local tropical fish shop and see if I can get some RO water.

I was thinking about getting a 8.5l water filter, it will still take some time filter but better than using the smaller ones!

Does anyone use a water filter to filter their water before brewing? I've tried campden tablets before but I can't say it made a great deal of difference, however, after using my water filter I've noticed my water tastes a lot cleaner. I'm thinking about filtering my water before I brew next but...

Technically re-pitched yeast shouldn't attenuate differently. However, there are so many factors that could affect the yeasts ability to attenuate (Selective pressure, Health of the yeast, differing values of aeration in the worts, etc) With a fresh pack of dried yeast you will have the right...

How warm does the warmest place in your house get?

I went to this a couple of years ago and it was great :thumb: However, my wife is due to give birth on the 15th April so unfortunately can't make it this time :lol: unless I want to be castrated :lol:

Brilliant guys! Thanks for the advice :thumb: Think i'll be upgrading!! Vossy - What's the extractor fan for? cheers! :cheers:

I'm considering upgrading to stainless so I can brew larger volumes, however, my brew fridge can only handle my 19l carboy. So I'm wondering how people who brew say 50l/100l control their fermentation? :cheers:

I entirely agree, Mild is a fantastic beer. :thumb: It's a real pity it's not more commercially available. It's also cheap to make and ready to drink in a few weeks which is surely a bonus for any commercial brewery (and home brewery!). :drink: look even the smilies are drinking Mild! :D...

Yes it would still work, even at cold temperatures the yeast will still clear up the Diacetyl but it just takes longer. :thumb:

Thought i'd give this a try, thought it was rather apt after the weather we have just had!. 19lts Pale Malt 4010g Black Malt 245g Crystal Malt 130g Torrefied Wheat 60g Start of Boil Golding Hops 39g Last Ten Minutes Fuggle 13g Yeast =...

I've been looking at this book too, glad it's a good read, think I'm might have to purchase it. :thumb:

Cheers!

Anyone recommend a good digital ph meter?
