Love the soda stream idea, not sure if it will work but I'm sure my parents still have the one I used when I was a kid. I remember putting some milk in there once and it pretty much exploded in the machine my mum was not very happy. On further thought and ideas from another forum I may try...

Thanks, that gives me something to work on.

Hi all, I brewed a big IPA using US-05, I hand wrote the recipe on the fly and was planning a 90 min boil where I would add hops every 5 mins, this should of given me a nice 8-9% hoppy IPA. This was my second brew of the day and I drank my way through the first one so writing a...

The seller said it has a solid base but even if it dosn't that's ok as I will be fitting a removable false bottom. I realy want to know if it is food (beer) safe?

UK and Ireland electricity is the same.

I am planning a Brewmeister type system and I'm having problems finding an inner pipe (Pot) that is tall enough, all the pots I can find are not tall enough. I need something about 30cm diameter but it needs to be about 45cm tall and the only thing I can find that fits the bill is kitchen bin on...

I think a few months is hopeful thinking, I'm just getting some free time now and my boys 3. :drink: thanks for the link to the London brewers, they do look like they have some interesting meetings. I think I'll try to get to the next one. BTW. I have got a reply from the CBA and will...

Good work Aleman, I did email my printed out, filled out and scanned back in form with a request for bank details on friday lunch time but alas I have had no reply so I decided to just do the paypal thing. But no, when I filled out the form on my iPhone the CAPTCHA image did not apear so I...

Wow, I was half expecting to look back at this thread and be slated for my post but the sensible and fair nature of my fellow brewers has shone through. To Aleman, I am so glad to see that someone like you is involved in the CBA and are prepared to listen to the drunken mumbling of a relative...

I was going to join but put off by the web site. It is still anoucing a date and venue for the september 2012 GBA nationals. I would be a member by now if it was up to date and had an events page with the likes of the spring thing on it and no offence ment by this next observatio as I am a very...

Thanks Baz. BTW that link you posted above has been very helpful for me as well. :cheers: Chris

OK I think i'm getting the hang of it now but just 1 small problem. A recipe for a Kolsch I'm looking at asks for the following Grain 1: Weyerman Pilsner 75% = 3466 g Grain 2: Belgian Vienna Malt 20% = 924 g Grain 3: German Caramel Pils 5% = 231 g Now for the Weyerman Pilsner there are 3...

Thanks for all the great replies. It turns out the answer was right under my nose and thanks to Abiruth I have now opened my copy of "The Homebrew Handbook" that I got for Christmas. The 1 of 3 brewing books I got and only one not yet read. Thanks

Hi, I'm relatively new to brewing AG and am having some grain problems. I'll explain what I mean. I find a good recipe that I want to try and then when I try and order the ingredients I get stuck, the recipe asks for "American 2 row Pale" or "dextrin Malt" or "Caramel Pillsner" or various...

Thanks for the replies, I found a company called "Gas Cylinders UK" in Merseyside on the web http://www.gascylindersuk.co.uk who send a 6.35KG cylinder for £18 for the CO2, £40 deposit and £21.54 delivery. They will pick it up for the same £21.54 and give your deposit back. The delivery...

Just got myself a couple of cornie kegs today and now realise that it is much harder to get CO2 than I expected. Any help will be gratefully appreciated. I live in St albans and work in Cricklewood and I don't mind traveling. Thanks

That looks brilliant. I have a Pi lying around doing nothing (Boys toy). I will look into this more when I have had less home brew. :drink:

Thanks for the reassurance guys. Im sure it will be drinkable but it's always good to here someone else say it. Downside is a very long and annoying first AG with bed at 3:30am and up for work 5 hours later Upside is now I've voided the warrantee so I can customise my boiler with a bulkhead...

Hi all. I finaly got round to doing my first AG using the Brew in a bag method. It all started out well and apart from worrying about a degree to high or low on the mash all was going well. I was at a nice rolling boil and had added my first hops, 15 mins later the boil was holding realy well...

Just realised its 99+ vat but that's still only £119.98 and free delivery so ordering mine now.
