Hi guys Sorry to ask, I did search (I promise) before posting. Has anyone used this beer gun? Bottle Filler Beer Gun Was going to spring for the Blichmann but delivery is £15 so was kind of put off, 15% of the total cost urgh. I have a lager nowhere near ready, if you follow the rules, but a...

Excuse me if wrong forum. My fermentation chamber (an 18 month old fridge) isn't working right. If I switch it off at the wall and leave it for a while it will kick in fine and bring the temp down. Problem is it won't ever kick back in again unless I do the same shut down and wait thing. Any...

First AG brew tomorrow Robobrew Continental lager from Brewstore.

Hi All. First AG coming up. Bought the Brewstore continental lager recipe kit, I am a victim of lockdown and lack of ingredients available, but honestly I enjoy a lager so I did my reading to give me the best chance of it succeeding. I have a fermentation chamber setup to keep it cool as that...

Hi there. Final bit of kit for fermenting chamber needed. Looking for an Inkbird or something similar. Looking for the type you can plug the chiller and heater onto directly (no rewiring like the stc-1000). Plently available online but I'm hoping someone can post quicker than the online...

In the chaos of the current lockdown, I've misplaced the instructions from my california connoisseur pinot noir kit. I've seen the online instructions but I'm not convinced that they're the same. Certainly different visually. Does anyone have a kit to hand that they could attach a pic or two...

I have just received my first wine kit, excited to get going. QUestion I have is, the instructions say to rack it into a carboy, at the moment I have two 'bucket' type FV's and was planning to go from one to the other. Does the Carboy have some magic powers that make it the better implement...

Anybody fancy starting a Scottish based blog, a few I looked at seem a bit dead. I'm thinking about blogging about beers made in Scotland, about making beer up here and anything else beer and brewing related.

Just went to order this on Brewkegtap but their price has crept up as the early bird offer expired. Sadly I'd just managed to save up and have missed my budget point. Snooze you lose.

Hi, Has anyone had an order from Brew UK recently? Placed order on 6th, still shows processing. Happy to wait as I've stuff on the go but thought there may have been some progress. Have emailed them days ago too as I wanted to add to order and that hasn't been replied to. Not moaning or in a...

Hi, First post in a while as like many others at this point I am brewing for the first time in ages. I have a suspected stuck ferment on an extract kit, Nelson's Revenge from Woodfordes. I have an old heat belt that I will leave over night and give a wee agitation in the morning. I am...

Hi all, just went to have a taste test of the Christmas brew in my youngs 5gl pressure barrel. Whoosh, beer all over the place as a foamy mess erupted from the tap. Can I release some pressure to calm down the pour, it's totally unmanageable at the moment. Would you loosen the top or...

High guys, I know a wee bit of electrics and electronics but hoping someone with more knowledge of these or white goods could help. My tumble dryer works but won't heat (If that makes sense). I removed the element and the Toc. (There looks like a rusty explosion on the plate but no signs of...

Hi guys. My local HB supplies shop had brewferms Christmas beer at 50% off today, so I bought two. I'm thinking of using both cans in one brew and not not adding any sugar. Any thoughts?

Hi folks, anyone any good with chainsaws. Got one from my mum for xmas but have no idea how to tell the size of the chain in relation to which size of file I'll need for keeping the teeth sharp. it's a qualcast PC40 from homebase/argos.

Got my first keg a few weeks ago and all was fine I noticed my beer had lost some fizz after a 10 pints or so one night so got out the super 30 co2 canister. Gave it a blast and removed it, the top valve started hissing at me, I assumed I'd put to much pressure in and this was the valve...

Hi guys, looking for some help regarding a college project. Please could you answer the question posted. I am wondering how much per year you spend on all facets of homebrew production? This can include but not limited to equipment purchases, ingredients, sterilisers, bottles, caps etc etc...

Hi guys, please don't chastise me as it wasn't totally my fault. I had a chance at a short term transfer from one work location to a far more glamorous one. The problem is that it has meant I never managed to bottle a kit brew which has been sitting in its FV since December. Seeing as its...

Just bought a brew belt and made up a kit of youngs bitter. Its been foaming away and I've been worrying it was to hot. Right enough, I sanitised a thermometer and the brew was at 27 degrees. So i switched off the belt. Having read posts here about belts I know to high can cause problems...

Have any of you taught yourself how to play a guitar. Got an electric as an Xmas present but beyond a few chords and single note tab I'm stuck. How did you learn?
