and the new pics? Come on Ian don't let us down been nearly 3 months now!

So White Hart pub Liverpool Street Station 30th November 4pm onwards all welcome Essex or not sounds like a plan :thumb:

you don't need campden tablets for kit brewing, the theory is that in the mash phenols from the grain react with the chlorine to form chloropenols (TCP taste) so a bit of bisulphate to remove the chlorine helps the taste.

go for it, it will add nearly 1% to the abv :thumb:

very nice, thanks for the caramel info.

I got no hops from my fuggle this year and not enough from my EKG to fill a punnet, :( think I may have to dig them out they have been at it for 5 years or so and given me kilos in the past

I use 8mm and just shy of 2m I believe (6 loops diameter 10cm so 60x3=180ish) not had a problem, I use the same Pids as Vossy and Aleman.

I have pub CO2 and regulator board so can set the pressure

I have four of them use them for the kids pop nowadays, I used silicone grolsh washers and a cannibalised foot pump lever sealy thing (technical term :lol: )

I do this regularly to empty as corny or take half a dozen beers. add CO2 to bottles first so splashing does not oxidise then use bottling stick with a soft white bung it's a no2 drilled stopper from hop and grape, picnic tap and some odd tubing. I don't do high pressure beers so no...

very nice :party:
