got this going yesterday,the mrs banished me to the garden after last weeks effort ! didn't get started until lunch time so I finished off with a head torch on :lol: 90min mash at 66deg, it held the temperature well seeing as it wasn't too warm out, only dropping a little in the last half an...

3.7v span the motor way too fast :lol: wanted to keep it simple so went for a single 1.5vAA in the end, works a treat total cost.... £2.20 for the stir bar ! I might have to dip my fingers in my pocket at some point and build a bigger one, but this'll do for me atm

cheers cheapbrew, the link made it a little clearer thanks :thumb:

just received the Belgian Blonde ag kit from the Malt Miller, ingredients look great, looking forward to brew day ! As it's only my second BIAB I'm after some guidance with mash temp and volume as it has no details included. Going on the product information I know I need to boil for 90min and...

i'll see what its like in both formats, if it isn't going to be any use then it's plan 'B' :thumb:

given me the inspiration to knock one up, cheers Strange Steve ! I have raided my man drawer for some bits and I think some 3.7v Li ion batteries in parallel should spin the portable cd drive motor enough, if not I'll try them in series. just waiting on the stir bar to arrive then I can see if...

just popped out to the garage to get the box that mine came in and all it says in stc-1000, no codes etc.. bought on ebay in April for £11.50, works a treat !

I'm a g-shock man too huwb as I spend a fair bit of time in or by the sea & they put up with some abuse! I wear a 9000 mudman or a gax atm, the mudman has been an old faithful after my tag heuer died years ago and I couldn't justify the cost of a service, the gax was bought so I could see the...

coopers ipa kit with a bag of light spraymalt and some dextrose, a good yeast like wyeast 1056 smackpack, this should give you 23 ltrs about 1.053 ish, 14days primary and a good dry hop at the end of fermentation for a few days will give you a good tasty beer for xmas :thumb:

cheers cheapbrew, I really enjoyed it ! pre boil volume was 26.5ltrs and I managed to get 20ltrs into the fv and og was 1.052 (recommended 1.056 so not far off) I didn't top up as I don't mind a short brew picking up the hops on the nose this morning on opening the brew fridge so all good there...

went for a Belfast Blonde from Geterbrewed as I got a freebie when I ordered their BIAB kit :grin: seems to have gone to plan so far, mid boil atm so having a cold one and a sit down for a minute ! old numpty here used scissors to open the vacuum bag of 60min hops not realising inside was a...

ended at 1.010, but it did start at 1.070 as I added a few bits and brewed slightly short, so I'm chuffed with the outcome. Had a glass full last night as I bottled it and it's tasting good, nice and hoppy :thumb:

I really struggle with demand out weighing supply :whistle: so I have nowhere near as much in store as Poochops, I think I'd lock myself in the garage for the weekend if I did ! Last night I bottled up my Youngs AIPA after a 4 week ferment and a week dryhop, I have a few wow derivatives on the...

my Mrs doesn't put beer in the fridge for me as she knows I moan like hell that it's too cold !!

chucked the hops in mine on Friday (day 22 at a steady 19deg) reading was @1.014 so it should be somewhere near ready next weekend for a final gravity test just let it finish and use the hydrometer to check when it has, all will be good !

kit arrived today, very impressed with the service from geterbrewed, the wort cooler even came with hose attachments fitted :grin: they'd forgotten to include a bag with it, but a couple of minutes after I emailed them about it Michelle replied and one will be in the post in the...
