You beauty! :drink: Thanks

Good shout! I've just posted a thread asking to borrow a 38mm q-max cutter in the Cardiff area :pray:

I know this topic has been discussed a few times and that the debate over where to use 40mm or 38mm for kettle elements rages on. Well when I build my HLT/Copper I used a 40mm and it caused no end of problems! way too big for the element and I had to use a load of 0-rings etc to resolve the...

Thanks Aleman! I also found this link http://www.beersmith.com/blog/2008/10/05/beer-ph-hard-water-treatment-for-brewing/ :thumb:

and how does this translate into what we need to add to the water for what types of beers?

I too live in a VERY soft water area and currently brew with no water treatment other than a camden tablet to remove the Chlorides. I've brewed a variety of different beers from stouts to pale ale. I've been wondering recently about water treatments to enhance my paler beers and would welcome...

I don't believe this. I've been using VWP for years now and have only ever had to give bottles and tubes etc a quick swil with the stuff. The only time I've ever had off batches is when I've forgoten to sterilise. In hind sight through pouring it off first then pouring it back in would have...

Has anyone else had this calamity? I ended up having to steralize my entire arm with VWP and reach into the brew in order to fit it! fingers crossed.

Hmmm ok, I was hoping to use it to recycle the wort in the mash tun and then transfer it to the boiler. Looks like I might only be able to use it from the HLT to the Mash tun. which is a pain :( Thanks for the info. I'll have a play with it on my next brew any way. I was intending to jug the...

Are these really no good for wort? I have onw of these and was hoping to use it on my next brew. I was ideally thinking of getting another one for all my pumping needs to save faffing about with the tubing mid-brew. The reason I went for one is that I see loads of them on here, so I'm a bit...

£61 + VAT each + delivery :shock: If you want a firkin though they are only about £5 more. So the pins do work out very expensive, but far more practical and will last a lifetime.

I got them from http://www.herefordcasks.co.uk/ A bit pricy as they're not muc cheaper than a firkin but 2 pins are far more practical (and sensible) for me. Besides I already have a firkin :thumb: Yep Disny was great and now need another holiday to recover!

Ahhhh! Thanks :) Simplisity itself :)

But that would a) be very expensive but more importantly for me b) inflexible :)

OK I need to order three hose tails that will connect these; http://www.screwfix.com/p/full-bore-lev ... 15mm/80413 to Vossy's hose? What is the correct hose tail size I need? thanks :)

But why do these pumps come with two different sized connections? It seems a bit of a hassle. So you are suggesting that I push on some smaller tubing then fit vossys over that? thanks :)

I've done some searching on this but am yet to discover a decent picture of a solar projects pump all connected up. The pump I have is the PUSH FIT VERSION not the threaded one. What makes it awkward is that the two fitting as different sizes?? I've just purchased some of Vossy's tubing and was...

:cry:

I forgot to treat my water with campden tablets before brewing! Would I be able to add them in the fermenting vessel?
