was included in the kit bought from geterbrewed, it fits a treat real nice snug fit, but it does move in the boil, it tends to drop down at an angle leaving a small gap enough for it to let a fair bit of debris through ! so I knocked up a spider using an old aluminium pot, I cut the...

Aphid these are what I use http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1ft-Tubular-heater-60W-Greenbrook-For-garages-conservatories-or-greenhouses-/131051286327?hash=item1e8343ef37:g:MokAAMXQqBxRHiOI brewed a saison at a steady 28deg no problem...

mine was left for nearly 4 weeks in the primary, then another week dry hopping in the secondary before I bottled it, couple of weeks in the warm and its been in the garage now for a couple of weeks, just starting to have a few bottles now and it has sediment at the bottom still, just pour...

it is a standard under counter fridge and I built the shelf to the same height as the rear part, and routed the wires out through the drain hole the tape holds the temp probe to the fv behind some bubble wrap as that seems to monitor the wort temp the best, and it is a Elitech stc1000...

fridge was free (just ask around you'd be suprised how many people have one they no longer need!) bits and bobs came to about �£25 , makes a huge difference to quality of the brew, highly recommended to anyone :thumb:

good one Clint ! we only had a small pumpkin this year so all I could muster out of it with some apples and cinnamon etc... was 3ltrs of wine! before anything goes into the compost I'll always look and see if I can ferment it first :lol:

I've used them in the past with no issues :thumb:

I've rinsed with tap water before, not had any issues, I always put mine in the oven for a couple of hours now and let them cool down over night before bottling day, bone dry and sanitised that way

I think that must be the first time I've sat and watched someone unpack a box :-o enjoyed it though, looks a good bit of kit !

not got a clue, but it looks shiny :grin:

depends on how much headroom in the fv you've got as to whether the krausen climbs out or not, mine didn't this time but it has in the past, an airlock wouldn't have stood a chance :lol:

cheers bud, just bought one too :thumb:

I brewed a Belgian Blonde recipe from Maltmiller last weekend and used rehydrated t-58 yeast, it kicked off within a few hours and went nuts for a few days before calming down, I'm glad I use a blow off tube !!

I bought the very same kit a month ago, busy planning my third brew with it atm, no troubles at all with a rolling boil even outside, I did have to buy a bigger bag though with my second grain purchase (Maltmiller) as the supplied one (although works) was a tad small to fit around the rim and...

wouldn't mind a code too, fancy one of these, certainly make brewday easier !

exactly my method too Clint, the first draw from the bottle wand is usually into a glass that I sup as I go along ! I bottled this very kit a few weeks ago and I've had a couple of bottles this week to see where it's at and it's coming good, a tasty drop :thumb:

:lol: had that happen to me once, blow off tube every brew since, I keep my airlocks for wine now :thumb:

talk about last minute !! would love a 308 please good luck chaps :thumb:

I added grapefruit to a wheat a while ago, I put the peel in a pan with some boiling water and reduced the lot to a syrup and added that to the secondary, came out spot on ! Can't remember the quantities though !

I made a jacket for mine out of an old camping mat, when covered with an old sleeping bag and sat on some polystyrene it keeps temp very well, dropped 2deg yesterday over 90mins, outside as well ! just flick the element on to bring the temp up a little if needed, but I've never needed too :thumb:
