Hi All I've been building and selling ispindels since lockdown, and continue to do so. I mainly sell via ebay (gingerneil), but as I started out on this very forum, I am more than happy to offer a discount to anyone coming direct through here. I CALIBRATE them in batches, so they are pretty...

Looking at building a keg washer using a 400w pump I have handy. Many guides seem to use 22mm pipe, but the cost of the bits in screwfix etc is significantly higher. Would 15mm make that much difference? I'm even thinking that the water pressure will be higher through the narrower pipe, so maybe...

Looking at something like this so that I can connect some silicon tubing to the camlock on my Klarstein Mundschenk and use the pump for for washing down the sides when cleaning (and maybe even moving to the FV - but yes, need to be aware of blocking the pump if doing this!). I have no idea what...

Good morning all. I sent a speculative email to Adnams recently, asking if they would mind sharing their Ease Up recipe.. well.. this turned up in my email this morning! I have tried to scale this down to a 23L batch size, based on a total grain bill of 5kg. I have then gone through the...

Bugger! Ballsed up my brew, do I just chuck it? Brewing an IPA AG kit from Malt Miller, set the mash to 67C for an hour, then left it. Come back after 40 mins and I've cocked up the all in one settings and it's been set at 97C! I've set it back to 67C and it's obviously now dropping.. But will...

Anyone tried replacing the tap on the Aldi Mulled Wine heater with a ball valve? I'm thinking of building a simple spinning sparge arm and use gravity from the heater. But it would be far easier to connect to a proper ball valve output than trying to force a suitable tube onto the inbuilt tap.

I have an old Brew2bottle beer heat pad that I'm not using, and wondering if I could use it for helping my chili and tom seeds along? Has anyone done this? It wont have an kind of thermostat, unless I hook up a temp sensor and a smart plug to measure the temp of some of the soil. Thats fairly...

My first AG brew is ticking away nicely in the All Rounder at 14C in the ferm fridge. I'm down from 1.045 to 1.022 in 3 days at ~10psi. I have 75g of Ella hops to add as a dry hop. The GetErBrewed instruction sheet say to do this once below 1.020, and to dry hop for 2-3 days before kegging...

My first AG brew day (almost!)…! I used to brew kits back in my Uni days – I produced the kinds of beer that affected your sight, and gave you a headache from a single pint. It was nasty stuff! Fast forward 20 years to about 2019 and the Mrs bought me a 5L all grain kit – the kind someone buys...

First AG brew planned for the weekend... And having read and watched loads of guides, I've been thrown by the kit instructions! This says start the mash at 20c? So I mash in at only 20c, set the temp to ramp up to 66c, hold for 10, then increase again? Max mash time is then the ramp times...

I'll be using my shiny new All In One for the first time soon (as soon as GetErBrewed kit order gets delivered!). I have read and watched guides on cleaning AIO systems using PBW after a brew, and all seems clear. However, do I need to also sanitise before I brew, or does the heat of the mash...

I'm brewing MJ Graprefuit IPA again this week. I have 100g each of additional citra and mosaic and was going to add these with the included dry hop sachet. But a bit of googling suggests adding 1l of pink grapefruit juice is a good plan. I'm looking for something like Elvis Juice. It'll be...

I have drilled the hole for my first Nukatap. Its gone bang in middle, and I will add taps either side as I expand. I have tap plugs to keep the bugs out, but also looking at a SS drip tray. However... they are straight, and the fridge door is slightly curved. This must be a common problem, and...

Too short for my fridge door! Bought in a set from bkt this week, but I didn't measure the door first! So brand new, unused. Will do for £15 delivered. Just the shank, nuts & collar. Not including barb or JG fitting for the beer line (but they're readily available for a couple of £).

Morning all. I have a Nelsons Revenge on the shelf ready to get going. The yeast sachet just says '69' on the packs - does anyone know what it is, and what temp I should be aiming the brew fridge at? I'm planning to brew under about 10psi pressure in the All Rounder, then into a corny.

This is likely my next kit. Its been sitting waiting to go, and I'll get it on in the All Rounder once my muntons hazy is kegged. Any tips for this one? Should I avoid pressure for the fermentation and just go with a blow off? Any recommendations for temperature? I have pretty good control in...

Hi all I have an all rounder on the way, and researching fermenting under pressure. Are there any good online guides for what, when and how much with respect to pressure itself, temperature and beer types? I'm also 90% into a fridge build and now have colling and heating control sorted - so will...

I picked up a free undercounter fridge last night - my first for use with brewing. It’s a Bosch, and in very good condition. I plan to buy a Fermzilla all rounder, have the pressure kit on the way and will likely get a corny or two. I’ll house the FV in the fridge, close transfer to the corny...

I brewed some Mangrove Jacks Lemon Sour on the 7th Feb, dry hopped on the 17th and racked off to a secondary on about the 21st (I think!). I now have this sitting in my bottling bucket, with an air lock on. I've not had a chance to actually bottle yet. Am I risking it going 'off' or the end...

It's brew day... But I don't have any sugar in the kit! Last time I did a Festive Premium kit, there were 2x1.5kg malt and 500g sugar, plus priming sugar. I have priming sugar this time, but just the malt pouches otherwise. Its only 4.5% target abv - but should there be sugar included??
