Hey, Does anyone know of any small HERMS coils? The only ones I can find are 30cm in diameter but I'm doing small batches and my pots are only just 30cm. Also, is it possible / a good idea to use the HTL as boil kettle and then circulate cold water through the HERMS coil to cool?

Hi I'm thinking of upgrading to a grainfather, I currently do 10L AG batches and keg. I want don't have much space and I'll be moving soon, so an electric system is probably best as I don't know if I'll have a gas hob etc. For the cost of the grainfather I thought I could just upgrade my...

Hi all, I just bought an SS Brew Bucket Mini and the instructions say to clean it first with Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP). I don't have any and can only find it online. I have a brew on the go and wanted to use it, so does anyone know of a common substitute for TSP? I assume its to remove...

Hi all, I had a late delivery the other day of some home brew goodies.. In my infinite wisdom I forgot to take out the hops and put them in my cupboard with my hot water tank, i.e. fairly warm! I know hops should be kept cool, but is this going to ruin them? I am at work now so they will have...

Hi, I have brewed a 5 gal batch of cider (from apple juice) - all went fine and I bottled in 500ml bottles. I left 1 a week and tried just to check its all ok but it wasnt very fizzy. I used coopers carbonation drops, but only 1 per bottle. Could I open them, put another drop in and seal...

Hi, I have just racked off a 5g batch of cider from shop bought juice. Fermentation stopped and it is a nice clear golden colour. My initial plan was to get a corny and force carbonate into bottles, however I don't know if I can afford that just yet. How long can I leave the racked cider...

Hi, I put a batch of cider on 3 days ago made from apple juice, a bit of extra brewing sugar and White Labs English Cider Yeast. It has been kept at between 18 - 22 degs but fermentation keeps stopping. I give it a good shake then it will kick back in but coming home again today it has stopped...

Hi, I am planning to do a batch of cider and get a corny keg, I want to force carb but I have no idea how much co2 I might need. I don't have a car and can't find a supplier close by so was wondering if one of the smaller sizes that can be delivered would be ok? Any advise would be great -...

Hi, I have been making cider with shop bought apple juice (not from concentrate, no preservatives etc) and using cider yeast (youngs I think). They have come out ok, drinkable and very fizzy, however they are a bit too dry and don't taste particularly appley. I find that my FG can often be...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been said already - I couldn't find an answer! Does anyone have a supplier of bulk AJ? maybe that sells by the gallon? I don't have a wholesaler near me or a car so its difficult to buy enough for a decent batch! Thanks :)

Hi, I am new here, I started my first brew on Saturday - Cider with a beginner kit. The instructions say that it takes about a week to ferment and that I should test with a hydrometer before bottling. The problem is that I am now going to be away for a week as of Sunday, so if the Cider is...
