    Blichmann top tier propane hose fitting

    I've only gone and snapped the hose barb on my Blichmann burner. Ive emailed Blichmann and they say I need a 3/8 female flair fitting. Looking at the thread I think its right hand and I can only seem to find left hand in the UK. Has anyone got any ideas where I can get hold of one

    My empty bucket weighs about 1.5kg the full bucket weighed 22.3kg so when its off the tub I should have about a keg full. I passed the wort through me brew bag to get rid of some of the trub. I think this might have been a big error as the recipe asked for a hop addition at flame out followed...

    Did you mess around with the water profile Rwilts? I normally use the excellent calculator stickied to the forum. Beersmith suggests something a bit different and I'm tempted to try it.

    I'd make a starter at this point, but my stir plate still needs a little work. The recipe came with US-05 which shouldn't be to finicky.

    Santa visited me early this year and delighted me with a Grainfather malt mill. This is its first outing. It's a beautifully made thing. It crunched through the malt in no time.

    I live in Alsager which nestles comfortably between Crewe and Stoke-on-Trent. My water comes to me from Lake Vyrnwy a lovely victorian reservoir in north/mid Wales.

    Im going to have a bash at Making the Malt Millers "Heretic Brewing - Evil Twin" recipe in the morning. I fancied making something a bit different, the reviews looked good and I thought the name was catchy. Ive not been brewing for that long and I'm sure my methods are utterly unsound. I'll make...

    Hello Brewers

    Sounds great, I've asked Santa for a malt mill. If I've been a good boy and the old fella comes through for me I would be very interested.
