Brilliant, Thanks chaps & cheers for the links :cheers:

Just purchased 5 second hand Demi-johns for £8 which I thought to be a bargain, However upon collection they were MINGING! They had been left outside in the elements for I presume years. 4 with rubber bungs (which are not so bad) but 1 without a bung that's had organisms living within. Some are...

My brew seemed to stop at 1012, so Into its new home it went for conditioning along with 90g of sugar. This was Monday, anyway i had to give in to temptation & have a crafty sample last night. It was pretty good! Just need to keep it cool now & out of sight for a month. I'm pleased i didn't...

Yeah mines the same, try under the lid, thats where my fork & glass are!

Welcome to the forum abi! you may find this calculator of some help regarding this. . . . calculators.php#HYDROMETER_CORRECTION

I've tried doing a search regarding this but the search enging "ignores" the word "before" for some reason?? Anyway I wondered how long is home brew good for :?: I mean off the shelf beers all have either a sell-by or use-by date on them. I spoke to A relative recently who says he's never had...

Oh ok, I thought that the knife & fork thing just meant it was dishwaher safe. :shock:

By the way, Another tip which I read here somewhere was to purchase A fish tank heater & drop that in. but it must be controllable externaly???

Welcome to the forum wharfedale :thumb: Woodfordes Wherry is also my first kit & i'm waiting here patiently, with it behind me right now on the floor in my hallway at 20c. I would say try to keep it at a constant 16c if that's the highest temprature you can get. at the end of the day I'm...

What exactly does the 5 in the triangle actually mean anyway? I've seen plenty of items with this logo & some with other numbers in the middle. (I presume it's some sort of grading of the plastics, but if it is what's good & what's bad)?

Really? Oh. . . . OK, Best not then! Thanks Mark :thumb:

This may be a silly question to those in the know, but why is it so important to use a food grade FV? eg the food grade plastic buckets as opposed to say an empty 25 litre paint tub? At the end of the day, if its washed & sterile what's the difference? :wha:

Woodfordes wherry instructions say half a teaspoon of sugar per pint upto a maximum of 100 grammes for a pressure keg. I myself am brewing the same wherry for the first time but I bought the king keg with a top tap to transfer mine into. Unused so far as the brew is still in the FV but I shall...

Thanks pittsy.

Ok I now moved me brew from the windowsill coz the beer temp was to low at 16C. Its now on the floor where its a much healthier 21C. Good hint about dropping in the hydrometer & leaving it in there, I dont think I would of thought about doing that if i'm honest. But its in and measuring 1020...

Its all good, we have no sun at all on that side of the house & its cooler up there too! :thumb:
