Would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids...

It's been in a waterbath at a steady 22 degrees, I'll give it a stir and see how it goes, cheers

Hmm, I've had this in the FV for 10 days and it's only got down to 1.020 (started at 1.040) and no activity in the air lock. Any ideas on how to get it going again?

Decent price for the Woodfordes Kits at Wilkos: Wherry and Sundew @ £17.60 each Admirals Reserve @ £16.00 each Not done one of these myself but should be of interest to someone

Can't find the Strawberry one anywhere. Has anyone tried it with the Raspberry?

:thumb: Ah right cheers for that

Hmm, is it just me or have they disappeared off Ebay?

Hi Steve - how did this turn out? It is on my 'to do' list

No worries

Gold Hobgoblin, Budweiser Budvar and Warsteiner are available in store for £10

Cheers Will3694 - I work in Prudhoe so you're not far away. Let me know what you have and we can sort something out? thanks BigCol, but Doncaster is a bit out of my way!

I know these aren't everyones cup of tea so, if anyone in the North-East (Newcastle ideally) has a King Keg gathering dust, I am on the look-out for a couple :thumb:

I got a 2kw one from Ikea for a similar price and it gets my 20lts pot up to the boil - not the most vigorous boil but certainly does the job

Going to the Ponteland Beer Festival tomorrow, looking forward to making my way though a few of these beauties http://www.pontelandbeerfestival.co.uk/drinks.html Any particular recommendations jump out of that lot? (Or should I just work my way though all 118 :drunk: )

Just ordered one of these - the current one with the grain bag, false bottom and 3 heat settings. The last few pages on this thread seem to be dedicated to adapting the boilers with pumps etc. which I have no intention of doing. Just after feedback from anyone using this as a simple BIAB as I am...

Just ordered one of these and was wondering the same thing myself. I currently BIAB in a stockpot and get nearly 80%, so I will work on similar figure, but I just need to factor in the dead space if anyone knows how much that is?

Thanks Bigcol, that looks the job :thumb:. Apologies for daft questions :oops: but what type of connector would I use at the other end to connect it to the bottle (I dont want a regulator, as I am just giving it a quick blast to maintain dispensing pressure)

I've done my last 4 brews this way and all my FVs have taps - no problems

I picked up a couple of used pressure barrels yesterday which, although were clean, they hadn't been used for a long while and had a fairly unpleasant smell when I took off the lids. I left them soaking in diluted bleach overnight and gave them a rinse this morning before I left for work...

I did that Coopers 3 can RIS and it finished at 1.025 (starting at about 1.100 IIRC). Mines been bottled for nearly 4 weeks with no bombs going off!. I'll try a small sample bottle this weekend
