    Can I bottle after beer is primed & conditioned in a keg?

    Unless you have Blichmann Beer gun or a counter pressure bottle filler. ;)

    bergland wont deliver to the uk ?

    Bergland pots that I bought early last December were appallingly badly packed, but arrived OK. Im glad I got them then. I would have kept on using my mango barrels had I not been able to buy the Bergland pots. I also ended up buying all the other various bits, costing at least as much as the...

    bergland wont deliver to the uk ?

    Perhaps a potential Bergland customer should e mail them telling them that Bergland's reputation is now very low on all the UK Brewing forums. And that they will now buy elsewhere. Further pointing out that the general consensus is to avoid Berglands and their suppliers in favour of the other...

    Thermopot conversion

    Exactly it's now angle grinder or dremel time, and as Fil says won't show and plenty of ways to cover up.

    Thermopot conversion

    No that's sounds fine, if you are drilling a fresh hole with the pilot drill and hole saw.

    Thermopot conversion

    If you already have a 44mm hole enlarging this with a hole cutter will be difficult without a centre pilot hole.

    Thermopot conversion

    I used 64mm Boch cobalt from screwfix. it did work in the end but was a slow job. others seem to think Starrett are best. don't know about ebauer

    Thermopot conversion

    Size depends on how you intend to make connections, room for spanners, needed. Don't know anything about the oil you used, if I was doing it again I'd use a purpose made cutting oil, just had wd40 to hand. Use the recommended speed for the hole saw. A drill with a speed control would help, I...

    Thermopot conversion

    Keep hole saw cool with WD40 and lots of it. cut for 30-60sec then cool. I used a Boch Cobalt hole drill from screwfix took at least 1/2hr per hole. Others seem to have used Starrett . make sure you have punched a starter hole with a centre punch/pop. 44mm is a bit small for easy access to make...

    Bobsbeer, how did you fit the thermometer through the thermopot insulation, please?

    Thermopot conversion

    My pipework can all be taken apart with the 2 large access holes. A lot to be said for Fil's side bottom drain, it easier to have all stainless pipework, with his arrangement. Although at the moment I batch sparge, I felt happier, if I ever changed to fly sparging, with the drain centred on the...

    Thermopot conversion

    Don't need a slot, although with an angle girder may be easier to cut. I made 2 holes with a Starret or 64mm Cobalt hole saw, then pushed the copper pipe through. Then removed insulation from the pipe with a skewer.

    Munich Helles Diacetyl Rest

    +1 to WLP830 but WLP838 is worth a try :thumb: especially if not being to careful with Diacetyl rest. Arguably better flocculation too. Both good though!

    Munich Helles Diacetyl Rest

    All depends on the yeast, a Kolsch would typically use a German Ale yeast, rather than a South German lager yeast. AFAIK, Munich Helles would usually be fermented and conditioned very differently to a Northern Kolsch A good Kolsch article here http://beersmith.com/blog/2008/04/05/br ...

    Munich Helles Diacetyl Rest

    I do 2 or 3 days at 16deg then reduce by a couple of degrees a day to 3deg and lager for 3-4 weeks.
