Still waiting.... I'm mystified by the comment that you think there is nothing worse than cold beer (despite the fact that you like cold stout). Please explain. And perplexed by the tone of dismissiveness within your comment about the stupidity of the original question. Also, where within the...

So you hate cold beer, but drink cold beer? Stay indoors, use public transport, wear a mask, don't drive but go to work if you must, shake hands with folks but keep your distance. It'll all be over by Easter as we have a game changer and a moonshot on the way. Can't say which Easter though...

so you can't think of anything worse than cold beer but you like cold beer(stout). This makes perfect lockdown sense.

I too like cold stout. So hopefully, there is no law against it. Just puzzled by the comment about 'nothing worse than cold beer'.

Hi Wynne Thanks for the advice. I'll probably only be doing part grain recipes with say 10 litres of water for 30 mins at 66c and not a lot of grains. It'll be BIAB and thinking about your comment re scorching the grains on the heating element (the element is concealed on the Burco Cygnet) I'll...

BIAG, is what I want to try, That's great. Many thanks for your help.

Sorry, our messages just crossed. Yours came through just after I posted mine.

Yeah, £89.10 on Amazon at the moment. Any tips that you could share based on your experience? Eg Did you replace the tap? If so was it a straight unscrew one and screw in the replacement (ball valve I guess)? Does it hold at a constant 66c degs? That sort of stuff? Ta.

Many thanks for quick reply, Cheshire Cat Just looking on Amazon and do you mean the Burco Cygnet MFCT1030? Is this what you use? Reviews on Amazon seem reasonable. Any tips on using?

Hi Cheshire Cat Many thanks for quick reply. I guess this is what you use? You wouldn't happen to have the model number would you. I've looked on Amazon and unfortunately the product info on the Burco water heaters/tea urns don't provide info about a rolling boil or ability to maintain temp at...

Hi all Just moving onto Part Grain Brews and wondered if anyone could recommend an 18-20 litre electric water heater, with a concealed element, able to a) maintain mash temperature at 66c degs, and b) maintain a rolling boil. A timer is not essential. Neither is a tap/faucet as I'll pour...

A friend of mine from down under has a couple of one legged dwarf pygmy's that call by his house now and again. They stand in the wort for a fortnight until racked into a secondary vessel. He informs that it does wonders for the finished hoppiness. I'll get their names just in case they pass by...

I just brew Beer :tinhat: Cutting open a pouch, pouring contents into a bucket, stirring with a long plastic spoon, placing in a heat controlled fridge, chucking in dry hops, mouth syphoning into a pressure barrel, moving to a cold fridge and dropping in some dissolved gelatine is hardly...

terrym, many thanks again. Yes, I think I'll go with your recommendation and get a Youngs AIPA kit. Then, in the following brews experiment with various additions and see how I go, for example use a bittering hop tea at 10g/100g water ratio (80c degs/20 mins) at the start. Ultimately, I didn't...

Cheers, Fury_tea, Wilko Lager Kit- sounds right in my budget range. Thanks

Hi Terrym and MyQul Very many thanks for the quick replies. Especially, the quantities, temperatures and timings tips re questions 5&6. I think I'll give these a try as you both seem to have had positive results. And thanks for the links to the reviews of the kit beers I enquired about. Great...

Hi all I’m new to this hobby and after one failed brew (Wilko), due to something I did wrong, rather than the kit itself and following a bit of reading/research I have a few questions for anyone that might care to provide answers based on their experience. As an alternative to an all grain/mash...
