What size is the piping? Do you have any flow restrictions from keg to tap i.e any valves. Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

I use a electric blanket with a temperature controller works like a dream. I brew in my cellar so always need heat. Another good way is a brew fridge, basically a fridge with a heater in controlled by a temp controller. Perfect if brewing in a garage.

You could just set pid temp to a unobtainable high temp say 150°c Some pids have 2 set points.

Last time I did 40 bottles I washed them thoroughly then added about 20ml of water to each bottle. then cut some squares about 2" square of silver foil and sealed the tops then put them in the oven. (40 bottles fit perfectly in a 900mm oven) then set oven to 170°c for 2 hours. (did it at night...

Just opened first bottle of this last night. Not a bad drink its only been in bottle a week and was left to clear for about a month. So far its not as nice as the wilkos strawberry I did so I better leave the other 5 bottles for a bit longer if I can.

For any temperature controll you won't beat a pid controller. I.e stc1000 available on ebay cheap.

If your reading is 1004 at 20°c and your hydro states 20°c then I think it is out of calibration. But be sure you are reading it correctly first before condemning it or applying a correction factor.

I had this once when making a wine kit I put it down to using cold water and the nutrient not desolveing. I wouldn't worry about it because my wine was really nice.

If there was 3 elements in it it would have been wired as star point connected which means each element would have been 240v and would have been perfectly usable on single phase supply allthough it would need to be reconfigured. Do you still have it if so please post some pics so we can see it.

Had sort of forgot about this one. do you peeps think its gonna be ok to bottle now? Its been in a secondary fv for over 3 weeks now. Im a bit worried it might not secondary ferment ok. Any one else left beer to clear thos long before bottling?

Did you add yeast nutrient?

Just opened my first bottle of this ( my first wine also ) been in bottle about a month now. Got to say WOW how nice carnt believe how good it tastes. Can't taste the strawberry all that much but tasteds really nice and very drinkable. Got a calafornia connorseres white zindafil in dj at mo...

Racked this to another fv yesterday fg was 1.008 so 6.3% a potent one. I left in fv for 10 days added hops on day 6. Was very surprised there wasn't much trub in bottom of fv. Not sure whether thats a good thing or not. Gonna leave for another 10 days before bottleing. Brewed this @ 20°c and...

This could work for wine maybe.

I brought this kit the other day (havent started it yet) there isnt or supposed to be any sugar with this kit. May be the supplier just bundled it with it not knowing that you dont need it. This kit does not need sugar.

Best idea is to check with hydrometer if the reading is 1.030 or lower just give it a little stir and make sure its kept somewhere warm for another few days then recheck. If you have inadvertently killed the little yeastys the reading will probably be 1.030 or above if so pop down to wilkos or...

You could remove L + N pins but i wouldnt bother ( it will help with stability of the plug in the socket ) you dont need to switch socket on either.

The very idea of earthing metal appliances is to ensure that the fuse in the system trips when a fault condition occurs. by providing a very low resistance in the earth circuit a large fault current will develop ensuring that the fuse trips within the specific times allowed. Using water would...

Looks like the element will be earthed but probably not the boiler casing. Use multimeter to confirm.
