    Grainfather G70 - worth it?

    well I've just done a 60 litre brew on the G70 Today took a while to get to the boil but that is my only criticism the counter flow chiller with a bit of adjustment of flow rates landed the wort in the fermenter at bang on 20 degrees

    The Post Office Horizon Scandal

    So if you supplied a payment system (What Technically Horizon is) and it turns out that the whole architecture of the software i.e. the back bone was faulty then looking at cause and effect i.e. Post Office goes on to then carry out multiple miscarriages of Justice then Fujitsu (ICL) are equally...

    Generally speaking in 1996 ICL was awarded the contract to supply the Horizon Software to the Post Office and the Benefits Agency, In 1999 Fujitsu bought out ICL and in 2001 the then Benefits Agency pulled out the rest is as they say history however Fujitsu is equally Liable in British Law for...

    Anyone using a King Keg 30L Chubby

    depends on what style I am brewing want really most ales at 10 psi and lagers at 15 psi, I was fermenting a beer a while back where I wanted some yeast esters 2psi allows that. I'm quite attuned now to the different pressures I learned most of this on a Fermentasaurus a couple of years back...

    Superdelic hops.

    Vocation Brewery have done a Superdelic ale with phantasm powder the result? Hop water totally OTT on the amounts of hops in it made it undrinkable to me. On the other hand Im quaffing my own superdelic ale used phanatsm with it as well tastes bang on. That and Nectaron are my favourite NZ...

    Pressure fermentation

    If you are wanting to try it out the outlay for a pressure fermenter, Spunding Valve isn’t that expensive compared to the current craze for stainless steel. I have on occasion served direct from keg king Juniors 20l fermenter instead of kegging most of the time I just use closed transfer to keg.

    Pressure fermentation

    It’s a fairly cheap method in the scheme of things you can get 10 litre king keg fermenters to do split batches with might be a method to try.
