I ordered a case of German beers from Beers of Europe for my daughter's partner's birthday. I had an email from DHL saying it would be delivered between 1335 and 1435 on Monday. Although the recipient works from home a lot, he had to be in London on Monday but said not to worry as delivery...

Some suppliers have offers at the moment: I have just bought a sack of Dingemann's Pilsner malt for £27 from GEB and THBC have 20% off malt offers at the moment. Fuel prices have dropped this month; is it just wishful thinking on my part to wonder if malt prices might be starting to drop?

Health problems force me to sell my Grainfather G40 kit (it is too heavy for me to manage now). It is in perfect condition, and was bought 14 months ago. It is absolutely complete, with counterflow chiller etc. and the original spare gaskets kit. It has had the pipework extended to fit a second...

I had a delivery from MM today, which arrived safely via DHL (although not at the notified time). I had ordered some hops and was surprised to find that the AA was not marked on the packets. It was necessary to scan a QR code on the reverse of the packet to check the AA and even this did not...

GEB have a new range of dried yeast produced by AEB in Italy and marketed excusively here by GEB. I was particularly interested in the 500g packs, as in the past I have bought Nottingham in 500g packs and broken it down into small vacuum sealed bags to store in the fridge. I was getting low on...

A story in The Guardian today says that CO2 has quadrupled in price recently, that two of the factories making it in the UK are temporarily closed, and that supply difficulties are here again. I am wondering if anyone has tried dispensing ready carbonated beer using pure nitrogen? As I pressure...

I have a couple of these Generation 3 fermenters, but I could use another one. I do not feel like spending any more with the supplier I bought them from, so I am wondering if any member has a 35 litre snub nose they no longer need - either Generation 2 or Generation 3? Please do not offer me a...

GF have just introduced Firmware 1.8 for the G40, which gives the option to vary power during the boil. I used it today and it really is a great feature: I boiled at 85% power, which gave a nice rolling boil without the excessive activity of a full power boil. A small saving in electricity and a...

Three weeks ago I spent around £200 with Brew2Bottle buying two Keg King Snub Nose fermenters and some other items. The first fermenter which arrived was fine; the second one which arrived a few days later had a faulty thermowell with a damaged thread which prevented it screwing onto the cap. I...

Schadenfreude time!

I have used the Fermzilla 27L conical twice but I have decided it's not for me, so have switched to FZ All Rounders. The 27L starter kit for sale is fully cleaned and complete in original packaging. It has a manufacture date of 21/1/21, and is from the latest batch, bought from BKT. £90...

Apologies if this has been covered in the past - I am new to this forum. I have a Brew Monk which I only use as a programmable boiler and pump. I get occasional problems with element power. My normal practice is to bring the wort to about 95C using the element on 2500W. I then hit pause and...
