I really appreciate the advice as it can be a minefield when looking on the net for the correct way to do things .

Hi Leon103, Sorry I didn't explain it properly on the post .I was going to make up a 1.5l starter with water,DME and a pack of yeast and put on a stir plate for 24-36 hours. I would then transfer 500ml into a sterilised mason jar and place it in a fridge along with the 1litre in the conical...

Hi zephyr259 , The calculations are all new to me so I will be studying how to do that later on this week and yes I meant refractometer lol that's the trouble with posting late at night after a couple of beers . I decided to use a refractometer as it uses less wort so I get more finished product...

I'm a novice to the brewing scene and after making a couple of brews using the grain father and spending countless hours looking at you tube and various Brewing websites I've come up with my interpretation of a process from brew day to serving the beer. I need some advice as to whether I'm on...

I've had it constantly for the last 3 years probably down to factory work as a young lad and testing security alarm systems on a daily basis. Never been to docs about it.

Update.... I've whatched numerous YouTube videos to see if I can find a solution and have come up with this . I could use a Carbonation cap in a rubber bung pushed into the lid, replace the tap at the bottom for a ball valve with a 3/8 barb with silicone hose connected to a beer quick...

Thankyou Jerryjo

Hi I stumbled across a site showing you how to make a spunding valve and I've bought the parts to have a go at making one .Has anyone else used one and would it be an advantage using one? I was going to try and fit it to my mangrove jack stainless fv bit wasn't sure if it would be suitable.

Hi, I'm looking for the best way to transfer from my mangrove jack's stainless fv to a corny keg. Is it possible to replace the tap on the bottom with a ball lock tap with barb fitting with a pipe conneced to a beer in ball lock. On the top of the fv could I fit something that would allow co2 to...

Thanks Barry.

That's how I did the first 4 brews but as I've got 2 kids under 4 it wasn't safe to do so lucky my dad came to the rescue. Been busy sorting out the plumbing and sealing up fermentation chamber today so hopefully get it finished by the weekend to get a brew on.

Hi all I've just started to dip my toe into brewing and have gone straight into all grain using a grain father setup! Made about 4 brews since starting using measured out kits and I have to say that they have turned out well. I'm just in the process of completing a brewing room in my dads shed...
