I think I want it boiling quickly. :D Cheers for the calculation formula, mind. I'll see if I can use it to work out how quickly the Bayou burner would boil 50l in theory and see if I think it's worth it. Anecdotal evidence only suggests those 7.5kw burners get a 30l volume of wort to a...

Yeah, I looked at the Malt Miller one, but I'm not sure 7.5kw is enough for what I'm planning (50 litre pot at some point this year).

Anyone got any experience of using one of these US badboy burners? The gas hob in my new flat isn't up to the job of boiling 25+ litres of wort, so I'll need to go down the burner route. Thoughts...

That's encouraging, Egon. I think it will be more for beginners than more established brewers. And the idea is to be a bit less stuffy, so hopefully it will appeal to some people out there.

*waves back* :)

That's a good shout, Growler. Thanks.

There are an awful lot of people in Dalston who carp on about brewing beer because their mates have just opened up a microbrewery in Clapton or some such. It's potentially aimed at them too. Not that there's anything really wrong with that. More the merrier, really.

I honestly don't know. I wonder how many people out there are all that interested in brewing their own beer who don't have the first clue about how to do it. Maybe there are thousands. Personally, I'd go online to find out what I needed to know, but if you're in a branch of WH Smiths at a...

It's a cross between a book and a magazine. Which they're calling a 'Bookazine'. They do similar ones for Digital SLRs, etc.

You can indeed ask. It's a homebrewer's handbook that's being published by Future Publishing. Not meant to be too technical or in-depth, just a general how-to guide with easy-to-follow pictures and captions. Plus some hints, tips, recipes to try and a bit of history about beer and homebrewing in...

Thanks, Vossy. I had a look at that BITS thread earlier. Looks interesting. May be a bit long-winded for my purposes, though. But one for me to try at home, though.

Thanks, oldbloke. I should have specified it's just beer brewing tips I'm after, but I imagine you can use 5L bottles as fermenters for beer too and experiment with different yeasts in each 5L batch. Cheers.

*dips toe in water* Hello all. Just about to start home brewing myself and am also writing a feature for a magazine on how to brew your own beer without spending loads of cash on kit. What would be your top suggestions on improvising kit? I've got the obvious cool box as mash tun, but are...
