Hi guys, Looking to make the next upgrade, and I want to control my fermentation temps a bit better, and want to make a lager! Does anyone know what the internal dimensions of an undercounted freezer are? I'm keen on the stainless brew bucket from the malt miller, but at 52cm tall I'm not...

Hi guys, Thinking of upgrading my brew kettle from my trusty 40L Buffalo - it works fine, but takes FOREVER to get to the boil. Wanting to head to the great outdoors. My usual brew length is 25L, but I have a big mash tun (60L) and it would be good to be able to do larger brews...

Hi guys, I need a load of hops for some forthcoming brews. Simplyhops.co.uk (one of the forum sponsors) is selling a 5Kg bag (of 2012 harvest) of EKG for £60 (plus about £10 P&P). I don't need that many hops! Anyone fancy going halves on a bag? I live in Stockport, so sharing with...

Hi guys, My beer has an infection in the cornelius keg. The rank taste/smell (very sharp/sour) is very similar to the smell when the keg arrived (bought off ebay and still had the last dregs of beer in it - smelt terrible!). I know some people say infection in cornelius kegs can be difficult/...

Well guys, thank to a lot of reading (mainly on this forum!), and a little dutch courage, I finally bit the bullet and did my first all grain! My aim was Sara Carter's Bombay - but I did drift a little away as you shall see Ingredients 6kg Maris Otter 500mg Vienna Malt These were the...

Hi guys, Busy making my own little brewery. Cheap cool-box from tesco as a mash tun? Check. Buffalo 40L boiler on order, with ball valve tap to insert - check. And I have just finished wrapping 10mm Copper pipe around a paint can to make a wort cooler - I can't believe the shops charge £60...

Hello there! For christmas I got a homebrew kit from my (wonderful) wife - and last weekend started my kit of Woodfordes Wherry - and I have surprised my self how interesting the whole process is! I also got Palmers book of how to brew, which I have been actively reading. The first ferment...
