Afternoon all, might be able to get a brew done tonight, which would be nice!! If I put a campden tab in the liquor to deal with the chlorine, do I need to leave it for 24hrs before using it? or will it be ok to use given 2 or 3 hrs? cheers! g.

Evening all, doing a little future planning and wondering, if I converted my 33l brew pot to electric, would it be best to go with 2 x 2.2kW elements from an Argos kettle, or would one be sufficient? or do you guys recommend going for something like this -...

morning all, cracked open a bottle of my first AG last night; its only been in the bottle for a week but I was anxious to have a taste following some odd flavours and aromas when I bottled. I bought the grain kit from The Malt Miller, fermented with US-05. After a lot of reading, decided I...

I have access to a fridge/freezer which apparently "just stopped working". i've considered collecting it, but wondering.... does anyone know if a peltier style cooler is powerful enough to cool half of a full size fridge?

Having wet my appetite ( ;) ) brewing some cider a few weeks back, I have spent my time since then studying John Palmer's 'How to brew' as well as reading a few posts on the forum in preparation for my first beer brew this weekend. After much consideration, I settled on the Milestone: Old Home...

Hi all, I managed to pick up an old keg yesterday which I am planning on turning into a keggle. It's still more than half full, but I have no idea how long the chap had it for, it was just sitting on his drive for a while. Anyhow, after doing a bit of research, I undestand I need to release...

Hi, first ever brew is on the go, 4 demijohns of cider, 2 glass dj's, 2 plastic dj's. I pitched the yeast yesterday evening and stuck the bubblers on all 4 bottles. There is a lot of fermentation going on in all of the bottles. The Problem -> there is a steady flow of bubbles from the glass...

Hi folks, very new to brewing, first one planned to start on Saturday. Just wondering if it will be ok to ferment my cider in the shed, or is that going to get to cold? Thanks.
