Hi Brewers .. Up until now Iv'e been using Brewers Oxyclean as a cleaner and StarSan as a sanitiser ... :thumb: Whenever I go to buy a new CLEANER I just get confused.. :doh: What does everyone use, for plastics? Some people appear to ONLY use StarSan and not use a cleaner first...

Good Morning. ... I have a batch of I.P.A sitting in secondary in my fermentation chamber which has been crashed and treated with gelatine. As Iv'e already transferred it once, I dont really want to transfer it to another bottling bin Can I add my diluted dextrose straight to this...

Thanks for the advice ! ... What ive done is gone and bought an invention that didnt really need to be invented! Isnt it! :-)

Ahh I See .. I wonder if I could throttle back the heater a bit. I'm presuming the temp setting is a simple on / off cut out ... not sure how this type of element works.

Hi . . I have a richie products ferment bin with a (purpose built) heater element inside And exposed. My question is.... if I use it to boil up wort.... can I also use it to ferment? It has a lid with a hole for airlock, but I cannot find any real info on it. Cheers and Good Elf!

Taking onboard ALL Advice. The S.G Dropped down to 1010, Then I broke my Hydrometer. (New one on order immediately!) So I'm going to syphon out in to S.V and get some of the Hops away in the process. Then let it finish off in completion. Had a taste last night out of the Hydrometer Tube...

Cheers Guys! OG. Was around 1040 ... When I made the hop addition it was around 1018 ... So I thought it may not have gone through full fermentation and the froth kind of confirmed that, In retrospect I think I should have waited before hopping ;-( I guess all I can do now is wait until the...

Hello Gents ... I'm currently brewing a youngs American IPA kit, which has been in primary for nearly a month. My fermentation temps are around 18-20 deg c, as Im yet to build my ferm chamber. ( another project in the planning stage!) Anyway ... It stopped bubbling on monday so I made a...

After leaving a comment on a pub review that we were surprised to pay nearly five quid for a pint of Doombar (Shiplake South Oxfordshire) The reply was that they no longer sell that ****e and If I want one I should go to Spoons .... The point is sir, you were happy to charge nearly a fiver...

Just looked at the recipe, looks spot on! .. I'd like to brew this as a B.I.A.B, Any suggestions for a suitable yeast to use? I havn't moved onto "Starters" yet, but maybe there is something comerically available you could reccomend? I reckon it's a nice, drinkable pint .. would love to...

Target final Gravity is 1.012 or below ... But as a novice I don't have a good handle on how much the difference is (.006 over target) .. Checked this morning and it's still slowly bubbling on day 14. .. But as you suggest, it's in a slightly colder environment and (using a temperature logger)...

Hi Gents, I have been brewing an Ultimate Brewery Classics Czech Pilsner Kit. The ferment started promptly after about 16hrs of pitching my yeast, and the instructions say it should be around 4-6 days fermenting. ... Tomorrow will be 14 days, and it is still fermenting VERY slowly, a...

Some brilliant advice here! Thanks chaps! Going to take it all onboard and give a simple recipe a go ! Nick

Ah! Brilliant! Thats encouraging! I'd better start planning and get onto the Malt Miller! IF I buy a preppared recipe... can I just break down a 20L kit in half and make two separate brews? Is there anything I need to be aware of? Thanks !

Afternoon .. I was just wondering .. as you do, when you are meant to be working . I have a 15L Burco Boiler. Would it be possible to use this to produce a Brew In a Bag beer? or is there just not enough volume there to make it worthwhile? Thanks In Advance Nick

COOL! Cheers! Dan!

Hi Chaps! ... Is there a waiting list / somewhere to express an interest for Getting a T Shirt next time round? Best Regards Nick

PERFECT!!!! Cheers!

Morning... Does anyone have any experience with Five Star chems. I accidently bought Saniclean instead of Starsan ... but all of the online gumpth appears to imply it's a "steraliser / cleaner" ... If I use it as described, should I still steralise afterwards? Thanks In Advance...
