Hi, I'm renovating a room in my 1880s home and came across this on the top floor. It's stone, in front of the chimney so I'm assuming it's a hearth but when I knock it with my fist it sound like it's not solid and cantilevered from the wall. Anyone seen something like this before?

Happy new year all. I'm just wondering if some leakage in a kegerator/keezer gas system is to be expected and what would be acceptable? I recently refilled my CO2 bottle, did a pressure test and there is a leak somewhere in the network. I set the pressure to 20psi, noted the pressure on my...

Hi, Does anyone know what the symbol between the WiFi & heating ones are for? I can't find it in the manual or online. Sorry but my camera wouldn't zoom in well for some reason. It's like a thermometer with a play button on it.

I was really hoping to get a couple of these at some stage. I'm going to keep a close eye out if anyone can build a work around for accessing the data and see if I can pick up a couple in the fire sale. Apparently they won't be making the API open source.

Hi, I got some Framgarden flakes with the intention of harvesting and drying for future brews. First time trying to harvest any yeast so this was more of an experiment than anything. I've read blogs & watched videos on the subject and the following was my procedure. Pitched yeast and waited...

Hi, I'm brewing a small batch Tripel this weekend and only dawned on me that the chiller that came with my Brewzilla won't be much use to this 12 litre batch. I'm thinking to transfer the wort to my 25l no-chill cube and place that in another tub with some ice & water. I was then thinking that...

Hi, My keg of NEIPA just kicked and this was what came out of the end of it. I did notice that the keg was losing pressure (dismantled then cleaned keg & disconnects but forgot to lube after), the beer lost it's brightness but was fine. It tasted and smelled good just, what I believe to be, a...

Hi. Has anyone bought Kveik from Hebb42 on eBay? There are a few different types he has there and I'm wondering if anyone has tried them & what they think of them. If so, any tips on usage and storage would be much appreciated. I'd also keen to try out harvesting as well...

Hi I'm planning to do a raspberry wheat beer and was in Asda looking at the frozen fruit. I noticed the blackberries beside the raspberries and thought why not do a half'n'half with both? Has anyone done something similar? All the recipes I've seen are one or the other and don't want to time &...

The wife wants me to brew a pineapple sparkling wine for her and rather than go out and buy equipment for a small batch I might only do once I'm thinking of just cobbling something together. I was thinking about a couple of 5l water bottles with the large mouths (one for primary & secondary) and...

Hi, I transferred a beer (peach IPA) from my all rounder to my keg and had a bit of an issue. I cold crashed to 4C for 2 days, had about 8 psi in the all rounder and about 2 in the keg. When I hooked up the transfer leads (closed cycle - AR beer out to keg beer out & gas to gas) it was like all...

New laws regarding hate speech are about to be introduced in Ireland and I'm wondering what people think of it. Personally, I think they are a government overreach, left very open to interpretation and will be a waste of time for already spread thin Garda (police). The scariest part for me is if...

Chancing my arm here... NI water were out to change stopcocks on our street yesterday and the guys doing it chapped my door to show me my neighbour's pipe runs into my hallway (god knows where it goes after there). Would anyone know the legalities and responsibilities in a situation like this...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has come across issues with their iSpindel under pressure? I had mine at about 15 psi and it stopped transmitting. When I took it out I noticed that the D2 transistor had a lot of corrosion on it (no way a drop of water could have got there but not on anything...

Hi, First fruit beer I'm attempting and I'm going to brew the Greg Hughes Peach IPA. I'm hoping for recommendations on where to get the peach puree. I've tried Tesco and Asda with no luck and I'm a bit hesitant about ordering some of the stuff I've seen on Amazon. Any help will be much...

Hi, I brewed a NEIPA this afternoon. All went to plan, chilled the wort down to 23C (anticipating a further drop to my 20C target), transferred to my Fermzilla and pitched. I then cleaned my equipment, got it into the brew fridge and it had dropped to 12C (room was cold and took a bit longer...

Hi, A bit of advice on my conundrum would be much appreciated. Brewed a Saison today and came up short by 16 points (1.062-1.046 24l). I thought the brew went well until my pre-boil check. Anyway, I had an extract kit (Muntons, I think) last year where I added dextrose after a couple of days to...

I'm cold crashing a beer in my all rounder and everything is starting to fall but I stupidly gave it a slight shake (thinking if I disturbed it the hop matter would break up and sink quicker) and gas started to rush out. I had it at 9 psi after the dry hop, got to 8C in the cold crash and the...

I got my fermzilla all rounder recently (with the pressure kit) and I'm just about to order the rest of my kegging setup. Below is what I have in the shopping basket. I think I've got all I need but I'd appreciate any pointers on things I should be getting as well. I've already got a gas tank...

Happy new year all. I'm planning on hitting the ground running in 2023 and I'm wondering what the general consensus is regarding how I will plan out 3 SMASH beers using different hops in each (same grain bill in all). I have made my recipe on Brewfather for the first but my question is for hop...
