What is the best way to cool my lager once the secondary stage of my lager is complete in my pressure barrel. its due to be drank in a couple of weeks, which is stored around 21 degrees at the mo. But theres nothing like a nice cold pint. Thanks.

Yeah it wasn't organised well, hard to find things.

There is a Home brew shop in canton in cardiff but this is due to close anytime soon. The Owner told me that her friend was opening a new home brew shop in Donald st Cardiff. Hope this is useful.

Would an aquarium heater suffice instead of a heater belt or tray as they can be bought cheaply and can digitally set. I use a heater tray but it could be good for people on a tight budget.

Thread is only a couple of days old, need to open my eyes. Thanks

I have wine in the fridge which i am due to consume this evening, and i am looking to keep the bottle and re use it. The bottle is the screw cap, can i re use the cap and put a shrink on it, or just use a cork, as the thread on the bottle isnt really that bad, and its only for personal use and...

Started the wine kit the other night and I am using plastic demijohns. When you boil the kettle to dissolve the sugar, let the water cool a fair bit because when you pour it into a plastic demijohn it shrinks and goes out of shape. :oops:

It then states to wait around 3 days before topping up the water. then wait from 7 to 20 days for...

Thanks for advice guys. Just another thing, i read that the normal water bottles shouldnt be re used, like if you take one to the gym for weeks on end as the chemicals in the treated water from the tap react with the plastic making the bottle unuseable. just wondered how this would fair with...

Skinners Cornish blonde, a gift from the missis parents from their holiday. Yummy :drink:

That is exactly what i intend to do, the water i got was from Lidl, it was 89p for the gallon, i got grommets etc so it seems a nice economical way. They also have a little handle which makes life easy. Thanks for the info.

Fantastic thanks for the quick reply. yes it is a kit set. I was quite concerned as i opened the fermenting bin and dont want to ruin the brew. cheers.

Does anyone use a plastic demijohn? Ive seen them advertised, and they seem alot cheaper than glass. does it make the final product taste different? very new to all this. Thank you.
