Will having only a single element make much of a difference to how long it takes to boil?

Suppose that might have to do until I get a bit more money, anyone else got any ideas of what i should get? Really only need a boiler and mash tun don't I? Surely I can get them for £120

Is that the £163 one with no thermostat? £30 more is quite alot atm for, wouldn't be able to afford to go to sixth form for 2 weeks :P What would I use as an immersion chiller? Is there much difference in getting the double element one compared to single?

Fancy getting my self an all grain kit but only have about £120 to spend, I'm not to bothered about not having a 10 gallon boiler etc so would I be able to get everything needed for 5 gallon brews with £120 to spend? Already have fermenter bucket :) Anyone got any advice? :cheers:

I'm actually in Eygpt on that date I think :party:

I'm in Sunderland, so if that's an option would be great, sending you a PM now Aleman :)

Maplemoon from Morrison's... Tastes really nice to my untrained taste buds, pick up a bottle and tell me what you think, would be interesting to see what my opinion on ales is like compared to those who've been home brewing etc for a while :cheers: Called Maple moond, Joseph Holt of...

Just been through exactly the same thing as you, started up my first lager on friday.. I got mixed replies saying you can seal lid completely shut, have it partly sealed with a gap or just have it loose on top so I guess it doesn't make too much difference so long as it's covering the FV This...

Could you not say he is paying for your time... And the beer is a gift? Or you give him the beer free... And he decides he'd like to randomly give you money but it's completely unrelated to your beer giving

I'm new to the home brewing thing and I haven't actually tried that many ales and beers, commercial or not.. Would it be possible for anyone to send me a bottle of what they have brewed at home? I'd rather try home brewed than commercial to get an idea of what can be done. I can send money...

I threw the wrapping from the kit tin away :( I'll use the hydrometer now, if I started the brew on friday at about half 4 what should my gravity reading be around now if its going well? Just done it and at the minute its around 1016, does that mean it's nearing drinking time? :drunk:

No I haven't.. I've got a hydrometer but I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to be looking at lol

I've been doing my first kit the other day, spoke to a few people on the forum about it but it doesn't seem to be bubbling or anything at all and its been 2 days? It had a slight layer of bubbles on it but hardly anything really... Should I give it a stir to see if I can wake it up a bit? Or...

I just bought a kit and got a hydrometer with it but no trial jar? What could I use as a trial jar that'l I will probably have in the house?
