Hello, I purchased a replacement battery from CPC Farnell for my iSpindel (I gave up on my previous order after all my attempts at communication disappeared into a black hole) - I now have a couple of questions. First dumb question: How do I change the battery? I take the top off the iSpindel...

I've had an iSpindel since 2021, been pretty happy with it but recently the battery showed signs of giving out (gave up before brew was complete, even after dropping reading frequency right down). So I looked around for am supplier to get a new battery and found https://www.ispindel.site/ -...

Hi, I started a brew recently, charged up the iSpindel and dropped it in, everything chugged away for about 6 days then the battery ran out. I made a mental note to fish the iSpindel out and recharge it at the weekend, then went and got ill for a while. Yesterday I : retrieved the iSPindel...

Hi, I've tried searching for CO2 suppliers in my area since I got my first keg last September. Did not have much joy - lots of no replies to my web-form enquiries or emails. I don't really want to carry on with SodaStream having had a couple of mishaps! I just got a quote today from the 'Socal...

Hello, I started a doubled-up brew of Morgan's Australian Old Ale a few days ago. Over the first few hours it went *up* from 1038 to 1047 - I imagine it was just not thoroughly mixed. Then brewed very quickly, going down to 1017 in about 28 hours. And has stopped there. I would usually leave a...

Hello, thi seems a bit odd. I started off a Bulldog Evil Cat a week ago. iSpindel said it started at 1065 and then after a few hours went UP to 1071, stayed there for a few hours then camee down quite rapidly over the course of a couple of hours to the level you'd expect if it was behaving...

After my previous whoopsie connecting up my keg for the first time, I got a refill SodaStream exchange (*) an have been happily pulling quite decent glasses of a Morgans Old Toucan: serving pressure around 12psi; the kit came with a rather long 3/16 beer pipe which I have not yet cut so it's...

Hello! So I got a new SodaStream refill, and connected the beer-gun to the beer out post, the regulator through a stopvalve to the gas in post, and the SS to the regulator. The brew had been self-carbonating in the keg for a couple of weeks - I drew a tester through the beer gun off the keg's...

So ... I put my first brew into the new keg yesterday. I had expected to be doing it a week ago but it was still bubbling a bit in the FV so I left it for a while longer. Then I did a quick taste of the sample I took out to blend the priming sugar brew and it acually tasted a bit sour so I...

Greets All, So I have my new shiny keg from BKT which I am about to be sterilising and filling Real Soon Now (about a week). I came into this thinking "a Keg will be a great alternative to bottles"; I have the behaviours of a bottle brewer and I have a beginner's keg kit of keg + reg +...

Hi, For many years I've been doing bottles-only brewing. Way back in early days I used a PB but haven't looked at them in years. Recently experimented with re-using supermarket mini kegs (Hobgoblin) with reasonable success but the usual caveats (very foamy at start, lose pressure as barrel goes...

Hello, I am wondering if I have made a horlicks of my Youngs New World Saison. I added the dry hops several days ago when the SG was 1.006 after 10 days Today the SG was still 1.006 (which is the bottle-me FG according to the instructions) so I : - dissolved the suplied 135g priming sugar in...

I bought one of those kits that were on offer back in October ( ref this thread ) but did not get round to doing the actual brew until start of December. Mine was the 'Block Party Amber Ale'. I have previously only made ready-extracted kits so I followed the stove-top steeping and boiling...

Hi, I'm thinking about replacing the taps on my two FVs. They are a bog standard white plastic swivelling-barrel design with a couple of strange tiny holes in the sleeve and pin whose purpose eludes me (photo here : New Bottling Bucket ... Tap Leaking?) I had a minor whoopsie last time I was...

Bit of a puzzle, this. Started a Mangrove Jack's Austraian Classic Bitter on 31 May. Brew mix as per instructions - 1.7 kg MJ malt 1.2 kg MJ Light Liquid malt extract This might have been my first mistake - I had a brainstorm and decided to start straight off on the trub from the Hercules...

Had trouble finding Marmite in the supermarket the last few times I've gone. Heard on the radio today that Unilever, who make Marmite, have said that they are only producing it in wee 250g jars now because they depend on the brewing industry for the yeast by-products that go to make it. (See...
