I had wandered about that too!

I know it's old faithful isn't it! It's a good candidate for messing with temperature controll. Hard to go too wrong. Really just trying to achieve good control with the kit I have at the moment. I want to try Kveik near the upper limit on the next brew so trying to get all my ducks in a row.

Cool, thank you I suppose it will depend on the temp difference with the air too! Its Nottingham in there at the moment. I have it set to 18.3'c +/- 0.3 and want to keep it below 20'c for a clean AIPA style. so I think that should be spot on. Should have a brew fridge and a thermowell by summer...

Has anyone measured the difference between the edge and the centre of the FV? I have my plastic fv sat in a temp controlled water bath I currently have the stc-1000 temp probe taped to the side of the plastic fv with a layer of insulation between the probe and the cooler air. the temp control is...

Hi all This old pit is under the floor of my garage. I've never really considered it any use but I did occur to me the other day that it might be a good place to age beer or even store it at cellar temp over the summer. So I put a max/min thermometer in there over the last week and it's been...

Just to let anyone who stumbles across this know, Woodlands in thirsk called me back. They are still open. 10am untill 2PM Mon, Tues, Wed and fridays. £20.50 for a refill

Thanks, I'll check it out!

What he said 🤦‍♂️

No, it should be fine. I'tll use a bit more gas I guess and you want to make sure you purge all the air a few more times

Thanks. I've just started brewing again after 7 years off and quite a bit has changed. You couldn't get sodastream adapters last time I looked. I've just noticed BOC deliver to individuals now! might give that a go instead. what's a good price for a 6.5Kg refill these days? BOC is 31 quid +3...

Hi all I cant get through to my Gas people (Woodlands in thirsk) and i'm nearly out. So I might have to switch to Sodastream Cylinders for a while. Has anyone using one of these adapters? anything I should consider at all? looks straight-forward enough.

Hi Just wanted to reintroduce myself. I was quite active in Jim's and a bit here 10+ years ago. Then I married, moved house and spent ten years renovating houses and having a couple of kids. The house is pretty much finished and the kids are old enough to help now so we dug out the kit and got...

I've been thinking about the relative sweetness of Crystal malts (as you do); I have a brew which used MO, Munich, Light Crystal and dark crystal malt. The colour and body is great but the back-draft is a bit cloyingly sweet. I want to adjust the sweetness without effecting the rest of the...

I've never harvested yeast from the bottom before; I pitched the Dregs of two bottles into 1.5L of 1030 starter @ 21'C and after less than thirty-six hours it's really lively and there's already a nice layer of yeast on the bottom! I wonder what it is.

Well, in that case if you can Subtly ask Dom the aprox IBU, and if he uses a different bottling yeast strain or not we'll be about there; because if not there's a ton of it looking very fresh in the bottom of the bottle :thumb: Happy Days!

I don't think so, I read an article (I'm not sure how old it was,) that said they only bottled about 300 bottles of all there beers a week and they run out of cask halfway across the M62. I got mine from a specialist little beer shop in York called the bottle.

Yes, I wonder how it will sell north of the border! Dobber is a large marble apparently!

I had a bottle conditioned Marble Brewery Dobber last night and it was pretty much fantastic in every way! Extreamly clean taste and feel but fruty at the same time and with a really unique hop character. Is anyone familiar? Do you know the hops? I think Nelson sauvin might be in there from...
