Hi guys. So after a few failed attempts at lagers i lost interest in trying to brew them. But i had this itch to try another one again? So I thought I’d try myself at a California common “ish” type of beer. I copied a recipe from john finch but scaled it up slightly to suite my laziness using...

Hi all. I’m after some advice from experienced users on this system if possible please? So after 2 years brewing with my grainfather, i feel it’s about time i moved on and I’m eyeing up a Brewtools system to replace my trusty grainfather. Mostly because I want brew slightly bigger batches, and...

Hi all. I’m after some advice please, I’ve recently ( last couple of months ) switched over to using PBW for cleaning everything including my grainfather rather than their own brand of cleaner. I must admit I’m having far better results in terms of cleaning and very happy with the results...

Hi. I’m selling my 2 Blichmann spunding valves, theses haven’t been used as intended I bought them purely for enclosed transfers on my conical fermenters. In perfect condition but missing the boxes ( I accidentally threw them away!) these are the 1.5 inch tri clamp versions. Originally paid £95...

Hi all, So I’m after some advice please as im struggling with some things. I’d like to start treating my brewing water, in the hope i can start brewing better quality beers. So my plan is to use bottled water ( tesco as beck) as here in Essex our water is horrifically hard. Grainfather has...

Hi. I’m selling a PLAATO airlock, I’m a magpie for gadgets but i still prefer my tilts. I bought this a couple weeks ago, tested it but just won’t use it! I can’t be dealing with getting extra wifi boosters and a separate iPod for tracking fermentation. Will also come with a PLAATO valve (never...

Hi all. So after much debate, I’ve decided to buy myself a temperature controlled setup. So I have 2 fermzillas for sale. As standard never used for pressure fermenting. I’m hoping for £50 for the both? You’ll need to buy the disconnects as the plastic ones I bought are a little chewed up! So...

Hi and good morning all. It’s been quite a while since posting on here? and I’ve not done any brewing for a couple months now! This was all due to temperature control and my brew space. So i bit the bullet,and bought myself a complete temperature controlled setup which should be the perfect...

Hi guys. I’d like to give these fermenters away as they aren’t being used. One is actually new unused, because when i bought it,i give it a thorough clean and the lid seal expanded due to being soaked in hot water for too long. So it will require a new seal. The other has had plenty of use and...

Hi. I have 2 spare stainless steel flow control quick disconnects for sale and a spare speidel 30L fermenter The SS disconnects are no longer needed as I bought 4 and only using 2! So condition is used not new. The speidel fermenter is unused, I cleaned it and soaked everything but the main...

Hi,good morning to you all. So i have a slight problem with my latest brew! I pitched my yeast a little too high Friday @22 degrees Celsius, ( honestly i don’t know why i did?) i guess i had it in my head from previous kits with instructions that said to do so?. However they were all extract...

Well a small introduction here. I’ve been making kit beers for the last year, all of which have been the standard extract cans. Done some very successful brews and some not so!! The bug of home brewing has got me although overall I’m happy with the kits I’ve brewed, (coopers) seemed to all come...

Hi all. This is my first post and I’ve gained some great knowledge reading through the posts. I’ve been brewing kits for the last 9 months, I’ve had some successful brews and some not so much so! So I’m after some advise if possible please? I’ve obtained a kit which entails steeping grains, i...
