Hi all, Just uploaded a new video to YT showing my STC1000 build. Not quite as fancy as some of the installations but it was nice and quick (sub 1hr) and can easily be replicated. As ever, I'm very appreciative of likes, subscribes and questions.

So I bought an old, knackered SS Brewtech kettle recently. Here's a quick video I made on how to bring it back to life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORc7EkSlUIs

The first (hopefully in a small series I'm going to make) of simple DIY conversions. I'd also be really grateful for a view, comment, like or subscribe. Also suggestions for future videos always gratefully received (STC1000 wiring, fermentation fridge, etc). I'll be adding a components list to...

A few bits I just don't use anymore up for sale. 1x Backer element. Good condition, complete with stainless lock nut. Picture here. �£15 2x Corny keg stainless dry hoppers. Excellent condition, only used a handful of times. These are the larger 12" units. Pictures here and...

I'm planning on brewing a Pineapple Saison - it's going to be a bit of a bastardisation of the Basic Brewing's recipe but with some hop substitutions for those hops I have filling the freezer. This will be about my 4th or 5th AG batch and my first attempt at modifying a recipe so any help would...

So my father has decided he wants to brew cider this summer - can anyone recommend a decent book on the subject? I know there's loads of information on here (that's how I learnt to brew - no need for a book when you can get real time feedback) but he's a little less technologically savvy than...

These Meantime bottles have recently been popping up in bars in London. I've collected a few but at £4.50 or so in a bar and £2.50 or so in the shops they're a little steep. Even going direct to the brewery they're £1.60ish each (though admittedly full!). Does anyone know what they're...

Having recently gone all grain I'm wanting to experiment as much as possible. For my next batch the GF will be joining in and we want to experiment with a few additions post-fermentation to add some flavour. Our thoughts at the minute are to split the 23L of Saison we're planning into 5...

Hi all, so far I've been doing my fermentation in 1 gallon glass demijohns. I'm a little tired of cleaning the things out and the floorspace that loads of demijohns take up so I bought a Wilko's 25L FV. For my next brew I'm hoping to do a half batch (11-12 litres) of porter circa 6-7% ABV...

I've just completed my second batch of beer - first was a Coopers IPA (a one can extract kit), second was The Homebrew Company's 'Discover American IPA' (a two can with hops and malt grain additions). As I'm just about to start an all grain batch I'd really appreciate some help figuring out...

Most of my stuff is DIY but I think building my own wort chiller could be a step too far (I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like something neat looking). Has anyone bought a wort chiller from grayone2013 on eBay? The prices are good (only £10 or so more than I could make one for myself)...

Hi all, So on the basis of many positive reviews on the site I bought a Full Extract Discover America Pale Ale kit from site sponsors The Homebrew Company. It's all arrived today and whilst the kit looks great, the instructions are a little sparse. I've done a Coopers IPA kit before so I know...

Hi all, New member from Central London here - I'm half way through my first batch of extract brewing and looking to move up to all grain as quickly as possible. Satisfying though the kit was I really want to be creating my own beers from scratch ASAP. Inspiration is the West Coast IPAs...
