Should try making your own peri peri marinade it's easy and the taste is defiantly worth it. When the sun arrives I thing I'm going to spatchcock a chicken and BBQ it with a marinade. Might even buy a brush and keep pasting it with flavour :D

Will probably need a new poppet mate. If you have a 22mm spanner take it of and compare it to the gas side valve. Just an idea :thumb:

Im planning on making my first cooler type mash tun and am just wondering whet you guys thought was the better design. I want to get the colemans 36 quart cool box but dont no whether to build one of the copper manifolds or buy 2 bazooka screens and T them off of the ball valve. Taking into mash...

tc or wow can always be done another day. Go to the festival whilst its around

ohhh so im completely miss-reading :oops: as already said i shall just make my first ag brew then worry about improving it when i am a bit more comfortable

should be fine mate. From what I no your fg should be about a quarter of your og. So if you started with 1040 expect to finish with 1010. But I am a rookie so may be wrong. How long did you ferment for?

Just seems like there is so much to learn. But im sure it will all be worth it :D

Hi im trying to get as much knowledge as possible before i make the jump to ag. i have read a few things on the water ph but each time it gets a bit to scientific for my tiny brain to understand :lol: Can any one simply explain how to test your ph and what you do to correct it. Preferably in...

looks great mate. what did you use to cut all of the slits and what size pipe did you use. looking to jump to all grain brewing but looking at all the equipment i have got to buy its looking like it could be quite pricey. Any expense saved would be welcome lol

Will already have its own electronic controller if its a catering freezer.

yh I just boosted it right up to try and find a leak, thanks for the responses has put my mind at rest :cheers:

cheers for the response mate. i put it under 50 psi pressure last night and sprayed around and the pressure seemed to dissapear fairly quickly. but as there is not much head space and the beer is super cold could it maybe just be that it is being absorbed. it frustrates me being a rookie some...

i have been disconnecting the inlet straightaway as i dont want to lose all of my co2

I first recieved my keg with a pressure still in it so i knew that the keg sealed properly. i have now kegged my beer and just cant get the damn thing to seal. i have put the keg under 50 psi and checked over everything using leak spray. i found that the beer out valve had a small amount coming...

Well from someone that is a refrigeration engineer I would say it either has a gas leak or the compressor is on its way out, either way it won't be a cheap fix. Would be better to wait for something else mate

I wouldnt say that it will be a disaster. First of all check that your hydrometer is correct. I think you check it in water that is 20c and should read 1000 (Im also quite new to brewing) If so then all you can do is add additional sugar. I think when I made the cooper mexican cerveza its og was...

Thanks for the quick response. So mixed gas gives a different carbonation. Im guessing a creamier body to the beer. Looks like il have to get co2 and mixed just to please the missus :whistle:

cheers I think the doncaster option might be the best. Would I need the co2 or mixed gas :thumb:

Can any one help me. I have been looking everywhere to source a co2 bottle where I don't have to pay rental to use with my corny keg. Im from Milton Keynes so any where fairly local would be preferable. Also Im getting confused whether I need co2 or mixed gas. I will be mainly brewing ales and...

Hey buddy Im reasonably new to brewing too and was just as worried as you. As already mentioned i would almost guarantee that the lid isnt sealing on you bin. if you can see activity then im sure it will be fine. I eventually changed to a demi-john as you always get a tight seal and you can see...
