I intend to start storing my ales in 19 litre kegs to use my fermenter more often. I intend buying couple of kegs from The Malt Miller. What should I buy along with kegs so that I could serve from kegs? At the moment I think buying: floating beer keg dip tube with filter Spundy - 1 per keg and...

I broke high pressure gauge on Micro Matic Bottle Mounted CO2 Regulator from Malt Miller. I found the gauge on internet and wonder how easy it is to replace it - https://booth-dispensers.myshopify.com/products/3450502-nptr-micro-m-0-315-bar-psi-gauge Is it simply unscrewing the gauge and...

I would think water quality changes with time because the filter wears out - if it did not then I suspect water filter companies is a huge scam :?: Actually... I could use water that goes through water softener, it should stay the same provided I keep it full of salt

Yes, I use built-in water filter, I cannot get unfiltered or untreated water in my house

I have a filter for drinking tap and water softener for showers and washing taps, so would expect the data from the local water company become quite incorrect in my case...

I only did one IPA under pressure and it was so good that finished before conditioning... Lowest temperature was 20.5 Celsius, maximum close to 29 Celsius, and it got there naturally. Thinking I should put my next brew into the garage, the temperature there was well over 20 degress until recent...

I used forum search, but it looks like nobody discussed meters for water hardness. However, John Palmer in his books mentions that brewing water should be moderately hard. Are there reasonably priced meters for water hardness? I saw this one, but wonder how good it is Amazon.co.uk And I suspect...

Just wanted to ask if this one is good. However, I also found £10 more expensive pH meter if add calibration items and it claims to be 0.01pH accuracy instead of 0.1pH. Guess I won't be going for +-0.03 pH difference... A lot of positive reviews, but don't know if they were "bought'...

I put Muntons Hazy IPA kit on Saturday evening, added liquid yeast (doing it first time, I washed it before as shown on videos), it did not start for about 24 hours in my pressure fermenter, so I added additional liquid yeast and shaked the fermenter. I believe it started brewing as I do not see...

Saw this interesting Kegland Mini Keg 8L PET keg and see that it was discussed here about a year ago. Does it work well? Is it worth trying with this one or best buy metal one? https://thehomebrewery.co.uk/mini-keg-8l-pet-with-cap-handle-2872

I currently make only kit ales and lagers, and they are 20-23 litre size. Also, I have fridges that are limited to 50 and 55 cm height. My nearest supplier is The Malt Miller and I wonder what keg size I should choose - 9, 12 or 19 litres? It seems to me 19 litres won't be enough for a single...

Cool, thank you for a detailed response. I am considering Grandfather G30, think G40 might be an overkill, and wonder if Brezilla might be a better choice instead of Grandfather G30. Finished reading "How to brew" of John Palmer :) and watching David Heath. Thank you for suggesting to cover my...

This is my my first brewing with new equipment - Apollo 30L Unitank and RAPT Pill hydrometre. Brewing Gritchie Brewing Company Bourne IPA (West Coast IPA) I got from The Malt Millers. What surprises me is that it finished fermentation in less than 2 days - now the gravity (red line) is 1015 and...

Wonder what equipment do you use? I want something easy to get good results and then clean, but, since you didn’t mention it, I assume it is quite basic and you have lots of experience to compensate for simplicity

I would like to raise this topic again - since I don't plan making brews too often, using a kettle as a fermenter for 3 weeks is not an issue. And I have a fermenter, so I can use kettle as a fermenter from time to time. However, what are disbenefits of fermenting in a kettle? As I understand...

Wow, I did not make my first brew with new equipment yet, but already impressed by both Apollo and RAPT Pill, probably with Pill most - it shows not only density and temperature, but also alcohol content, so no need to use separate formulas. Wonder what you would recommend for all-in-one kettle...

East European kvas is considered being a non-alcoholic beer in Germany. Very simple to make - dry rye bread in the oven, mix up with sugary water and leave to ferment at a room temperature for 3 days I like drinking it in summer or drink after sauna. However, you need to bear in mind that, if...

Thank you, Stripeyjoe, I got myself Apollo 30L Unitank and Pill bundle with temp controller. Perhaps I also get a keg that will fit my fridge and transfer brews when I want to have more drinks variety. Only wonder if there are 19 litre kegs that are lower than 55cm - I see Corny kegs are 55...

I recently picked up couple of fridges to help me maintain the temperature of fermentation: 1. Bush model BSFF55136W, fridge 40cm depth, 45cm width and 55cm height, it has freezer too, but the layout of freezing elements is horizontal below each drawer, so I cannot simply remove the drawers to...

Maybe - they seem not to sell many items. However, they are going this way for several years, so maybe they adapted
