Hi all, I'm looking to pick up an STC 1000 for a brewing fridge but there seems to be several different versions and I'm not sure which to get. Just looking on Amazon, the price varies quite a lot. And they don't all have the same markings. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_nos ...

Hi, I brewed a weissbier on Saturday. My chiller cools down to about 30 - 35 degrees in about 25 minutes but getting down any lower than that is painfully slow. I put the FV in a water bath with some ice and got it down to about 26 degrees before deciding to pitch my yeast. It took another 8...

Hi, I brewed a Hefeweizen on the 5th. Unfortunately, I had a few technical problems (boiler cut off) and ended up with a lower volume than I'd hoped for. The recipe I followed said I should get 23L and an OG of 1.052. What I ended up with was 19L at 1.062. I pitched a smack pack of Wyeast...

Hope you've put a few towels down! :D

Hi, Sorry, I don't know much about the area. My father in law wanted to do a bitter and I just happened to find this recipe on using Google. Fingers crossed this one turns out OK, AG#1 was a major let down! :cheers:

Hi, My second AG brew is currently fermenting and I am hoping to get it bottled before christmas. I will bottle as much as I can and keep the rest in a keg (I don't have a secondary fermenting bucket, so I will have to put the sugar into the keg, siphon the beer into the keg and finally siphon...

Thanks. I think I'll start off with the simple Wilko one and, if it's going OK in a year or so, maybe treat myself to an upgrade.

Hi, My first brew is in the FV and hopefully will be ready to keg / bottle before christmas. I've been looking at kegs and am not sure whether to go for a King Keg or one of the slightly cheaper ones they currently have at Wilkos with the CO2 bulbs. Is the price difference justified or will...

Yep, was a bit hectic but I've learnt a hell of a lot for next time and if it tastes like ****, I'll just try again!

It's an all grain, TTL clone. I should have taken my time with it but was rushing around trying to get everything done while the daylight was quickly fading.

Hi, I've just done my first home brew and I stupidly pitched the yeast too early. I'm not sure on the exact temperature but I'd guess it was mid 30's (C). It is now down to a more sensible temperature but I'm concerned it might be too late. Would it help if I added some more yeast now that...

It did come with a few metres of pipe but I haven't been able to attach it directly without damaging it.

Hi all, I've just bought this chiller and need to connect it to a hose pipe. I know I could put the hose in boiling water and force it on but in going to be doing my brews at my mother in law's house, so don't want to cause any damage. Does anyone know the correct adapter I would need to...

Right, just checking. Is the thermal fuse I need to bypass the black bit underneath the grey sheath? I'm going to get someone else to do it for me, just want to make sure I tell them the right bit to cut out :D

Yep :D

Hi, Yes it has a thermostat but it cut out completely and wouldn't even power up when I tested it again the following day.

Hi all, I attempted my first AG brew last weekend. It was all going well until my boiler died about 45 mins in to the boil. I've managed to get it replaced but am considering getting this one modified to prevent it dying like the last one. As I understand, bypassing the thermal fuse should...
