    Help / Oops

    I’ve only used Voss twice but found it exceptionally forgiving. I would imagine the cherry would mask a lot of flavours too. Only option is to taste it once it’s not the temperature of a cup of tea!

    Ferminator power supply substitution

    I’m continuing to draw a blank on this. Looks like a laptop charger may be the best option. Get er brewed, where I bought it from, haven’t replied to me so far.

    Ferminator power supply substitution

    I bought the old style Ferminator from GEB a while ago. In my recent house move I have lost the power supply. Not a problem you would think! I’m so bad at electronimics and electamixity stuff that I have no idea what replacement to buy. The label in the back says some numbers stuff. Could...

    Guitar solos

    Skin o my teeth - Megadeth Metal isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but well worth a listen. Solo at about 1:33. Very technically difficult but still manages to keep it musical.

    Loose Grainfather G40 hop filter plate?

    I agree with what you say - I was going to do a bodge but thought, “no will check with retailer first”. I was surprised this was the answer but seemed fairly simple and can’t be arsed sending stuff off or waiting for replacement. etc. It would be nice if Grainfather would send a voucher for me...

    Loose Grainfather G40 hop filter plate?

    I used a G clamp that I had. Just about got it on and then tightened. Didn’t need much to get a snug fit. First try was too loose, second try it needed a good pull to get it out. Hopeful!

    Loose Grainfather G40 hop filter plate?

    Just made the adjustment and it works well. Bit of a PITA getting the barely fitting clamp around it. It defiantly improves the fit - needs some pull to get it to fit. I will report back after this weekends brewing.

    Loose Grainfather G40 hop filter plate?

    Prompt reply. The advice is either make the bottom part of the filter more oval with a vice or similar (which was what I was going to do initially anyway), or return it to MM for them to do it for me. I will give it a go myself as I can see how it fits on my unit. If it doesn’t work then they...

    Loose Grainfather G40 hop filter plate?

    After transferring 23L of sludge from the G40 into the fermenter because the plate had shifted, I have contacted MM to see what we can do. Otherwise the G40 is very good.

    The art of parking.

    This is a photo I took years ago in Essex. Says it all really.

    I missed that one! 😂

    DPD list of restricted items

    I assume that they know people lie but that protects them from any comeback. I just sent some “candles and a calendar” with them.

    DPD list of restricted items

    Some are common sense but it makes you wonder how anyone ever sends anything with them. I assume it’s the same for most carriers. Active Mobile Phones Outside The EU Aerosol Aftershaves Air Bag Amber Ammunition Animals Or Organisms Of Any Form (Alive Or Dead) Antiques Any Articles (Or...

    Grainfather Element

    With the G40 just out you’ll probably find some bargains around.

    Should I be concerned?

    Some people use the term “yeast rafts”. I love it. It’s like there some survivors of the naval battle between good yeast and wild yeast. Unless you’re making a sour, when it starts to get complicated as to which side you are on. A bit like Switzerland - which ironically is landlocked.
