:eek: They recently sent me email with a discount code saying the shipment for Gen 3 will start from March 2024. However, unable to fulfil the orders for more than 1 year... I will give them a miss

Leaving things unattended... I wanted to pressurise kegs after cleaning. Only I forgot to put air release valve in the right position and lost all my CO2...

Love drinking stupidly cold brazilian Antarctica beer with needle fish on a beach, I would definitely prefer it there for my favourite IPA 😀 . However, I agree with you that good beer is quite expensive there relative to the local income I wonder how do you manage to keep the temperature right...

now I produce it to save money :beer1:

I cannot get the right temperatures in my brewing fridge - it cannot reach 20 degrees Celsius and it cannot get to 1 degree Celsius. I suspect I might be losing too much heat/cold. I am using this tubular heater, 1 ft, so it is 60 W...

I like RAPT Pill. I also got RAPT Temperature controller, and I have a fridge, but I suspect it leaks heat that it tries, but cannot reach the desired temperatures. However, I still like the devices - Pill tells me how much alcohol got fermented and I find it very convenient knowing when brewing...

Have you tried more expensive kits? Even buying £100 kit and get 20-23 litres of good wine is still about £4 per bottle plus own labour/fun, I wonder if I can get close to £10/bottle wines from LidlL

Your statement is in line with my thought - how do I know what water I should add to make a good Pilsner? If there are already all nutrients in the malt, then perhaps I should simply add a distilled water... Not that much worried about my IPAs because they seem to work out really well, but...

Raising the topic from its sleep - is it cost effective making wine from grape juice bought in supermarkets? Because you can get wine kits for £20.95 that makes 23 litres, so Asda wine will be £34 for 20 litres Or you will get notably better taste? I currently make only wine (spend up to £40 per...

I am thinking to get myself very accurate scales, but not that accurate 😄. Guess I will mix Spotless Water (3/4) and Tesco water (1/4). Should I reduce pH? Guess adding lemon powder should do the trick

I currently feel that IPA is really good, on par what I can get in pubs. Lagers... The first one (Coopers European Lager) was more like ale, the recent one (Simply Lager) tastes like lager, but cheap one :laugh8: I want to make something better, and Pilsner is my benchmark - no point going beyond it

Yes, thanks, I just did, did you receive the money? I did not The question if I should use it with kit beer, I guess it it too clean, but I do not know what I should add to the water...

Well, who knows? I placed an order for 11 kits today so that they last me for 1 year acheers.

Well, I have Apollo pressure fermenter. I also now have fridge with RAPT temperature controller with tubular heater and RAPT Pill I want to make good quality lager, something like Pilsner, maybe a German style lager if no other option I only do kits Do I need to control the temperature if I use...

I have Apollo pressure fermenter and now I built myself temperature controlling fridge that uses RAPT temperature controller and RAPT Pill. Can I make a great Pilsner with this setup? I will source water from Spotless Water, what ingredients I should add to profile water, maybe you could send me...

I don't understand, though well respect, the need for creating recipes :) – so, I simply buy kits and brew in a pressure fermenter to get good result with the lest effort. I am happy with my drinks and people compliment on my IPAs. I guess my approach is the easiest way to get excellent results...

Don't underestimate the power of being mesmerised by transparent pressure fermenter 😵‍💫 If the spigot comes fine and I find a way to attach additional legs to Apollo, then I will be hypnotysing my guests by the view into the brewing fermenter 🤪. Though any further expansions of the pressure...

An update about Apollo - I got in touch with Keg King because the spigot used to secure the bottom of the fermenter to collect the yeast got detached when I started brewing leading to a spill of 1-2 pints of wort. They said in the email that they fixed the issue by sending new design spigots...

Thank you - I am training and giving away about 3/4 of what I make, people appreciate my brew and I get a lot of feedback on what I should improve

Which one did you go for? The Malt Miller is doing a Special Offer on one, but I don’t know which one to choose and how to choose…
