It's a shame some online retailers are afraid of healthy criticism which will inevitably improve the service they offer to homebrewers if heeded. It is also a shame that they feel they can intimidate non-profit Internet forums with unsubstantiated claims to pursue legal action. Perhaps it's best...

Finally ordered this having cancelled my Amazon order because they were being totally useless. It should be arriving in the next couple of days and I intend to try my hand at a clone brew. My request is thus..... Can someone post up the recipe list so I can make up my mind in advance! Thanks

Been getting into a very in depth discussion with my mate about favourite "style" of food. Think I've got the main groups relative to the UK so mark your favourite and say why or why not others! I've gone French as for me it's simply another level of deliciousness.

A mate has offered me a gas regulator for carbonating my kegs with Pub gas (fingers crossed picking some up tomorrow) and he said it has been used for co2 cylinders. Went around to pick it up today and it has OXYGEN in big letters emblazoned on it. It's a BOC twin gauge regulator and if he says...

When sanitising a Flash Chiller do most folks put their solution of choice into a Cornelius Keg, pressurise and pull it through then chase it up with water? Despite having run many a bar I've never given much thought to the actual cleaning of the chiller but looking back it must always get...

I read today that you shouldn't sanitise Cornelius Kegs with products like Ritchies, VWP etc because they're bleach based. I boiled my lid, posts etc the few times I've use these Kegs, I filled the Keg with appropriate Ritchies to water ratio, left to soak, rinsed thoroughly and then filled with...

Today I decided to tackle the beast that is the Stainless Steel Brewery Keg. I acquired a Keg from a friend who had bought it as a project very similar to what I've attempted today. The boiler design I had in mind was a cross between that of Aleman/Brasmwell/Damfoose's. Tools and Equipment...

I've got to get some John Guest fittings for a Cornelius Keg I bought with disconnects but no speedfit connectors. Can someone tell me the part number so I can order in a couple? I'm also going to hook up my flash chiller and I'm assuming I need 3/8th JG straight connectors for every outlet...

Anyone do anything productive this weekend besides extended sessioning? I managed to get a brew in on Saturday morning/afternoon and it's been a slippery slope since. Friends coming around today ostensibly to see the new baby but I've got my eye on a walk in the local park which has a nice Pub...

Brew on today to use up the last of my Marris Otter and what's left of my Aurora from Paul at http://www.barleybottom.com Recipe - 23litres Style - Pale/Golden Ale?? 4.225g Marris Otter 400g Wheat Malt 40g Aurora (5.8% AA) 60 minute addition Protofloc 1/2 Tablet - 15 minute addition 30g Aurora...

Hi all, Recently came into possession of a Dalex tap for use with my Cornelius Keg and wanted to mount it to my Keg. I read that 25mm was the way to go so I used my forstner bit and ploughed into the handle of the Cornie. 25mm is incredibly slack for the threaded back of the tap but the tap...

Tesco Apple juice from concentrate (not value) 8 litres for a £5.

Straight to the point here... I don't fancy doing all the faff involved with riddling when I bottle my sparkling wines. Has anyone done this the Australian way and force carbonated with Co2 in a Cornelius then bottled into champagne bottles and sealing up?

Norm has some o-rings online at the minute for £3.50 a go all in with postage which on the face of it seems a pretty good deal but does anyone know anywhere we can get them cheaper as this still seems expensive for a few pence of rubber.

Been threatening to make gooseberry champagne for some time but that's been put on hold until I can actually find some gooseberries! I wasn't expecting fresh until June but even canned seems impossible to get hold of! Poor humble Gooseberry. I saw a load of red grapefruits on offer in the...

Apart from it's ******* status as it's not as shiny as stainless steel, is there any reason why more people don't go down the Aluminium route?
