Hi @Mateusz, welcome. I am in Stirling with a similar setup to you but not always got the time to brew so throw in the odd kit. Don’t take everything you see on the forum as gospel, there are a lot of entrenched view points. Experiment and have fun.

@DocAnna can understand your frustration of they didn’t mention the 1000 word limit. I would appeal that as you obviously put in a lot of effort. When I was doing one of my Masters degrees the average word count per assignment was 6000 words but the Human Factors lecture limited us to 2000...

- Alcohol Free and Ultra Low Beer Brewing Techniques has tons of information on alternative techniques to achieve low/no alcohol beers, some good recipes, YouTube videos and some essential info on hygiene related to pH. Worth checking out. I am definitely going to try this out as I love brewing...

@Zoiks did exactly the same 😳

Fermenter King junior. 10litre capacity and you can get into Pressure fermentation when you feel like it.

@Rento living in Stirling I am looking for a CO2 supplier. Part of the difference in price seen may be down to the purity and hence grade of the CO2. Food grade vs Non food grade Co2 cartridges - Co2 cartridges blog The difference is only about 0.9% depends of you are content with potentially...

@DocAnna it certainly ferments out fast. This was a Cali Commercial at 18C, added in a diacetyl rest after that just to be sure. Conditioning at the moment so can’t come on taste but it smells perfect. Need to try out on a pucker lager next.

Always been a bit concerned regards security passing my WiFi password to 3rd party apps, so use the Nautilus Wi-Fi relay for the iSpindel and an Excel Spreadsheet for plotting the trend.

Check out the beer gun from Kegland looks like the Blichmann v1 and around £50

Clarence fresh wort doesn’t have most of the water extracted like extract does and uses the water the brewer intended, not what comes out of your tap, so it should be top notch quality.

See that David Heath has done a video on this. Selection from The MM is limited at the moment but the wort could be used as a basis for experimentation, different yeasts, dry hops, etc. Fresh - Wort - Beer Kits offer a wider range. Won’t be everybody’s cup of tea but options for those short on...

To anyone who is enjoying Festival Weiss I can thoroughly recommend Mangrove Jacks’ Orange & Cinnamon Wit. Just made some for Christmas and it is delicious. Ferment Fast at 20C.

1 kg of Dextrose. If you are going to make ensure you have a lot of headspace as Krausen was very large at first.

Sampling the Wit now having started brew in October. It makes a great tasting beer. Both the Orange & Cinnamon flavours are there, great of you add a slice of orange on the side of the glass Del Boy style.

Just sampled my Mangrove Jacks Orange & Cinnamon Wit. Turned out very nice, better than Blue Moon IMHO.

Fitz welcome from Stirling.

Suggest listening to: Really doesn’t seem to be that much of an issue.

Experienced a lot up here in Scotland this year. Our local pub is inundated. I purchased a couple of these and they cited the problem in our house. Will now clean out every 3 weeks and refill with cider vinegar, sugar and washing up liquid mix. Key seems to be keeping the yellow funnel bit clean...

Mangrove Jacks and Festival make for very nice brews as long as you pay attention to fermentation temperature. Made the MJ Helles and Festival Weiss beer can recommend both. Going to try out the new Munton’s range that allows you to come up with open recipes...

Have a couple, got me into brewing so grateful for that. Now have a Grainfather G30. When they work they can brew very good beer. I still have a subscription as an early adopter so can get a kit for £12 rather than current inflated costs. Would definitely recommend being in a container as they...
