Hi, I thought I was doing the best thing by finding one of the best coolboxes on the market ...this might be so,but it's a right old so and so for converting into a mash tun. :( The spigot/drainage angle and position prevent a normal tank connector and ball valve adaptation as the protruding...

I'll give that a try in the future :thumb: p.s how long should I let it stew for cleaning a copper hop filter?

"LAGER" a word often described when involved in a pissing contest......how far can you go? :lol: ...just enjoy!

I forgot to say that I'm going to be using a 10mx10mm copper pipe - will this be more difficult, whilst also baring in mind my original question :?: :wha:

Try a good load of Coke and soak over night,if not two - mind your nose doesn't drop off though! :lol:

Hi Leondz, I've recently bought the ten gallon boiler and it seems to me that you have to place an order prior to the manufacturing of the 10 gallon goods, as John at H+G makes the stuff.Ask for the old and thicker type vessel for use as a boiler (if he's got any left) would serve you well even...

Hi, I was thinking of buying myself a wort chiller but by now I'm begining to muster the confidence to make my own. When making the right angle turns at the top and at the bottom of the chiller have people managed to do this without using a pipe bending spring - and if so,how? Another issue is...

OR when next buying a fermenting vessel,consider a vessel with a pre-fitted tap....it's served me well in this regards ;) :grin:

Per litre of Videne ..how much is that in old money, and can I get away with soaking the bottles in a hot water bath with minimal bleaching agent - then straight to the Videne (with no rinse) and use without drying? :wha:

Following on from this - how long does Videne take to sterilise?

So, let me get this straight...would Videne be good enough to spray on bottles given a good old shake and rinse with warm water prior - as in theory the spray would be the sanitiser (which also does not require any rinsing post use) and knock off the old yeasties and bugs :hmm: If this is the...

Many thanks for being so helpful and giving sound advice :thumb: :clap: Cheers, Cwrw

That looks like a fantastic buy! trouble is I've just bought a 10 gallon boiler,but no regrets. This is such a good offer I had to reply - to lift the message profile, as someone's gonna have a very good deal :clap:

If there are any guys out there that have brewed a Vienna lager could you please tell me how young can this be drunk (with a good taste) as I am seriously contemplating brewing an Eliot Ness Vienna style lager (which requires an 8 week conditioning at 4c (I think)) Cheers, Cwrw :drink:

Can anyone give me a pointer regarding the following please. :?: If you've made your brew and then require maturing for a 8 week period at 4C for a Vienna style beer or a belgian ale (4 weeks) will it be detremental to the taste of the beer if you primed and bottled prior to doing this, and...

Do you benefit by doing this as it leaves less trub in the bottles after its finished it's priming in the bottle? I'm only asking as I'm experimenting with this method with my brew which is now in it's 6th day of bottle conditioning Cheers :drink:

yeh...and bring back tobacco chewing.......and perhaps a bit of snout might go down well too :sick: Sincerely though, grain sampling sounds the way to go :thumb:

Hi, I batch prime and I have been at most only racking 4 days on and then priming and stirring after another 3 days if the gravity's behaving (and similar to SOM's addition I add 8grams per litre),however I then leave for a good 4-6 hours to settle and then bottle. Admittedly, I do bottle...

Hi, I've had some brewferm diablo and Abbey conditioning for apround 6-7 months now - will the yeast in these be viable to brew a belgian clone as Duvel or a red Chimay in a couple of months? :hmm: Cwrw

That's an amasing turn around time ! ...and it sounds like one on the trophy mantlepiece. :clap: :drink:
