    Anyone want a dead Raspberry Pi Zero W?

    Are there any tinkerers who would like to have a dead Raspberry Pi Zero W? It won't power up, no led's, nothing. Free to a good home. I was using it to log my TILT hydrometer over wifi. Apparently, they are repairable. There are no signs of damage or cracks. Might appeal to a hobbyist, who...

    Mini Keg with internal CO2 dispense

    I bought one of these https://fass-frisch.com/en/shop/top-keg-5-liter-gefuellt/ The 'beer' is drinkable but I wonder if it's refillable? Fass-Frisch sell empty versions for €7 but I can't find out how to fill them. When I have drunk the contents I will disassemble it. I have asked a...

    Best ever witty response

    What is the best 'comeback' or witty response you have made or received? I asked soon after starting my homebrew hobby why homebrewed beer made me so squiffy. Clint (of course) said, 'maybe your hydrometer is broken'. I had a Yorkshire mate who was asked by a taxi driver, 'how about a tip...

    Shipping costs

    Brew2Bottle have increased their shipping costs from £3.95 to £15 for the Highlands. I'll be shopping around now as they are no longer competitive.

    Which COMPANIES have the most useless slogans?

    Have you noticed how many companies have taglines, mottos or slogans which mean nothing? Many don't even constitute a proper sentence. They promise nothing. Lloyds Bank - 'by your side' really annoys me. Boots - 'let's feel good' is that aimed at the customers or the shareholders? Volvo -...

    Adding wheat to a kit beer for extra head

    Is there a way to add some wheat to a kit beer for a little extra head and head retention. My head is all gone before the glass is empty. I don't mind cheating if there are some drops I can use.

    Tart cherry wine- ideas?

    I have 2 litres of 100% tart cherry juice, not from concentrate. I want to make a WOW and have red grape juice and apple juice. I could go for 2L cherry, 1L apple, 1L red grape and sugar to 1100g total, ferment to dry. Any suggestions?

    Ideal drinking temperature?

    CAMRA and Cask Marque want pub beers served at 12 deg C for real ales but I find this too cold. My PB is connected to a beer engine. The PB sits on a stone floor. I measured my pint yesterday and it was 19. Am I alone in enjoying bitters and IPAs at room temp? This was drinking outdoors on...

    Red wine from red grape juice

    This one had a nice colour! Four litres of Stute grape juice, sugar, yeast, pectolase and a little water. 14%, no tea. £8.76 from HealthPharm.co.uk plus £2.59 shipping plus VAT I also ordered white grape juice but it's not in stock. I paid £20.11p for 8L - enough to make 12 bottles - so...

    Best app to use with iSpindel

    BrewSpy does something clever with data to smooth the graphs but it does not clearly show daily fluctuations in SG. Ubidots seems to make it hard to create graphs - I'm going to ditch BS and go back to Ubidots. Any recommendations from users who have tried a few different apps? I'm not going to...

    Which wine finings work best

    The Vinclear from Harris doesn't seem to work. I have used it on two wines. Previously I was using Kwik-Clear which worked well. Kwik-Clear is a two-part kit. Vinclear has only one bottle. My wife refuses to drink cloudy wine.

    Pint365 beer engine

    Arrived today, so here are a few photos. The beer line is 3/8" OD. The JG Speedfit couplings were 10mm x 10mm and 10mm x 12mm. The 12mm one is designed to go onto a spigot of that size or the Vinotap adapter which fits beer-in-a-bag boxes. My KingKeg has a Waddingtons & Duval tap on it which...

    Decent 5L jug?

    Can anyone point me to a good jug? I have a plastic "5L" jug but it's obviously a 'gallon' jug and won't hold 5L unless you 'brim' it and then it won't or properly. All the markings are inaccurate to compound the error. It's out by 0.2 to 0.3 of a litre.
