    Show off your beer related Xmas gifts!

    Get anything fun and beer related that you want to share? Post it here, I'd love to see what others got and get some more ideas for things I really don't need 😝 I got a bar runner and a huge box of beer mats - I guess I better invite more people over to drink with me now!

    Stickers from StickerMule

    I saw and advert on Instagram for 10 stickers made to your design and delivered for £1 - I didn't have much need for them, but thought why not - really happy with how they turned out: No idea what I'll use them for - and at £100+ to get 200 more printed, I don't think I'll bother to get any...

    Equipment For Sale For sale 35 litre pan/pot plus bazookas and a tap

    HYCC Digital Magnetic Stirrer MX-8K - review

    So I have been wanting a stirrer for a while, as they seemed fun and scientific and I can pretend I'm doing experiments, rather than just brewing beer to drink. I was going to make one, but as much as I enjoy playing with electronics, I just don't have the time or headspace right now. In my...

    Keezer, in through the hump?

    I don't currently have a collar on my keezer, and just have my gas inside and the 3/16 beer line coming through the magnetic sealing strip straight to my taps. But I'd like to move the gas out to make room for a 3rd keg. A friend suggested going in through the vent on the side, next to the...

    Not my auction, but just bought one - I've not seen them cheaper elsewhere - £14.10 delivered. Just arrived and quality seems good - and as good as the proper labware I was gifted in the past. Not tried boiling wort or water in it yet, but I will at the weekend...

    The magic of a cold crash

    So I had a normally murky brew with the weird 'cauliflower' bits that float around in it, plus a load of hops pellets: Lovely and yeasty and murky 3 days at 0.5c in the keezer and look how clear and golden it is. Went straight in the keg last night and blasted with co2, and cannot wait for...

    Do you scrape off the pre-boil foam?

    I never bothered to before, but sure I saw it in a video, that people remove the pre-boil foam for 'reasons'. Do any of you do that? What benefits does it provide? I've tried it this time, and took loads off - no idea if my beer will be better or worse but keen to know the theory behind it...

    Yeasts - suitable for pressure fermentation

    I was looking around previously to see if there was a list of yeasts that behave well until pressure and/or heat. I only have one to add to the list so far and that is the Crossmyloof lager yeast which has so far behaved impeccably under pressure and higher temps. 1st was brewed at 10psi...

    Are corny keg lids a standard shape and size?

    Just started pressure fermentation in a corny (and I loved it!) but the pain was taking the dip tube off and replacing with the floating one and then doing the reverse when using the keg as a keg again. I've seen on Aliexpress corny lids with a built in floating diptube. Will these fit a...

    Quick release gas connection?

    Hi, Not sure if such a thing exists, but I've looked a little and not found one. I currently have my gas in the keezer and want to move it outside to make room for a 3rd keg. But ideally I'd not build a collar, I'll just disconnect when I don't need the gas. Any suitable quick release...

    'hot' brewing lager under pressure in a corny?

    Does anyone here have any experience in fermentation until pressure in a conry keg? I've seen a few videos but I feel like I'd like to see the process mapped out a little more for my understanding - so keen to know if any others here are doing this. If not, I'll post my progress of my next...

    I enjoyed this read: https://drinks.seriouseats.com/2014/03/challenges-of-opening-a-brewery-job-advice-beer-industry-collin-mcdonnell-henhouse.html And also some good discussions on Hacker News (which is a bit like reddit for tech workers) : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21693944...
