Same happened for me too. 1.020 exactly. After 3 weeks, I racked to secondary, gave it a bit of a stir and left it for another 2 weeks. It came out at 1.012 and was absolutely flipping gorgeous!

Hi Guys, One of my elements has finally died during last brew. I don't know enough about them to determine if it's repairable. I had a spillage and wort got in there, sparks were heard, flames were seen... yea. Anyway I have 2 x 2.7Kw Backer elements fitted to my 70ltr pot (one of those...

This is a really great beer. This is the best beer I have brewed. I am using a corny for the first time and I force carbonated. It's just amazing, well done Clibit and thanks for sharing. I'm serving this cold but it has a very warming aftertaste

1.012 :drink:

I didn't get a response. But I have found a 1.5kg co2 bottle from an Adams Gas supplier in Bristol for £15 + £25 deposit. Seems reasonable and he says I can exchange for a bigger bottle without a bigger deposit! I have got everything ready but I have realised that I'm missing a...

Already done it. I'll update here when I get a response.

Can I use this co2 bottle do you think? http://www.gas-uk.co.uk/carbon-dioxode-co2-5-litre.html They offer a 'beverage' gas which consists of a co2/nitrogen mix but the bottle is too big at 910mm.

@ghb As in not enough room? The one I was looking at, the fridge section was about 900mm high, should be plenty. @chewie thanks for explaining the bad beer logic! I did always wonder. @Manse I think you are onto a winner here. It makes sense at least for the short term to get a used...

I'm well aware that I won't be benefiting from the warranty! As soon as I cut into anything that will likely be void. I'm planning on trying to remove the side of the fridge and inspecting for cooling lines before I cut the actual metal sheet. Glad that gas can (and should) be kept out of the...

I racked to secondary today and gave it a bit of a stir to try and get it going again. It's at 1.017 and tasting good!

Looks like I'm going to build a kegerator! I'm going to buy a new fridge I reckon. Right now, I have 1 corny keg but in the future, I would like 4 kegs hooked up, swmbo would also like a chest freezer for storage. I think I can fit 2 kegs with gas in an under the counter fridge, so I'd need...

I was in a bit of a rush when I posted this and I've caused some confusion sorry! I'm not getting that specific regulator, I meant just one like that, I just google it and picked one 'like' the one I was looking at earlier. The one you've posted Soton looks ideal. Thanks for your post, it's...

The link would be really helpful, thanks :-D Not sure I can afford the £100 plus all the other bits at the moment so I might have to settle for a longer term more expensive version but it depends on the saving!

HI Guys, I know there are a few threads about this already but I couldn't definitively find out my answer! I have a used corny keg and I need to buy a co2 regulator. Eventually, I will be using 3-4 cornys so I will need a multi setup. If I bought a regulator similar to this one...

Moved it inside last night as it was only at 1.019 looks like it will be a 4 week ferment as my corny won't be ready in time!

Yea I can move it inside the house. Guess that I will do that until I install heating/cooling to the brewery.

Oh and this guy sells the yeast for £2.99 + 99p shipping http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/nordbru?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 I didn't link to the item as I guess it will expire

I brewed this last weekend (10 days ago) and I've today tested the gravity and it's at 1020. I'm usually down to 1010 or so after 14 days. I tend to ferment for 3 weeks but I don't think I'm going to get there with this one. I've been fermenting in my new brew shed but it's insulated and the...

Massive lol! I'll do a real picture like that when it's finished! Yes I have a tap area. Just to the right of the hatch as you look outside. I have room for a couple refrigerators under the counter. I have 1 corny keg at the moment but will no doubt but more. I'd like to have 3-4 taps...

I have decided on the steam extraction. I have contacted a local fabricator to ask about making me one of these out of stainless: I have a rough idea of an estimate after chatting to one of the sales guys. Then I plan to route it to some of that manrose 100mm ducting to go outside via a...
