Stc1000 currently on its way from china, so that's the temp issue sorted, hopefully using 3/16 pipe will help me balance the flow through the tap, now thinking a flow control fitting would be helpful though

I've done a few wine kits and normally once I've added the finings they clear within about 48 hours, however I'm currently doing a wilko rose and the instructions state it takes about 7 days to clear from adding the finings. If I but more finings to add will this clear it quicker or just make...

I've just acquired a Stella beer tap and was wondering why there are 3 pipes coming from the bottom, I assume the clear line is the beer inlet and the other 2 ( blue & orange) to do with cooling ? Any ideas?

Hi all, I've being brewing kits for a little while now and am rapidly running out of bottle space, so decided that ultimately a kegerator is the way forward. Only issue is funds are a bit tight atm, I have a chest freezer that is not being used, a budget barrel with co2 injector cap and a...

Like the idea of a nice pink colour, How much blueberry would you add compared to AJ, Would also like to get it pretty clear if possible. Is there a particular type of AJ which would help with this. I have been using the lidl cloudy stuff, and I don't think that will ever clear ! When should...

I'm pretty new to home brewing but have done a few different lagers and ales and am on my second dj of turbo cider. I have a plan to have a huge BBQ around August bank holiday time and am hoping to build a good stock of different brews to make the party go with a bang (already got 40 bottles of...

Well finally got around to bottling this kit and I am well impressed, got 29 bottles of perfectly clear Pinot Grigio and a glass to taste. White wine isn't my thing usually but this was definitely drinkable and the misses polished off the spare glass pretty sharpish. If they do improve with a...

I work for a water supplier and using a garden hose isn't a great idea, firstly it isn't designed for potable water and will leave a horrendous taste if not flushed through really thoughly, freezing isn't a massive concern I would be more worried about an above ground pipe heating up and...

Well I tried my best and they seem to be clean, so I've sterilised and started a TC last night, so far no sign of any cracks (these are big heavy old fashioned fellows) who knows if I have got them properly clean it not, I'll find out when I drink the cider I suppose :mrgreen:

Right, i need your tips, I have got two old and really filthy DJ'a that need cleaning, and when I say filthy I mean disgraceful, (found at the bottom of the garden behind the shed) What the best way to restore them to their former glory so I can start some TC

Thought as much, thanks for confirming what I thought was the case, getting excited for the summer now, my garage is full of empty wine bottles waiting to have the labels scraped off :? And I've just picked up 40 swing top grolsch bottles with crates to hold them ready for the lager that...

I've brewed a few tins if lager and bitter etc, but at the request of SWMBO I'm having a go at some wine kits, I got the cheap £18 wilkos Pinot kit and its been bubbling along nicely since last Sunday night. The kit instructions say that after 7 days to add the finings and stabiliser, but it...
