Thank you

Should i be putting a crushed camden tablet in my water before making a kit? I thouhgt it removed the chlorine taste from the water. Why isn't it stopping the yeast from working? :wha:

I'd rather my fv smelt of beer rather than plastic or cleaning solution. hope that helps. :thumb:

Hello all, At work we have an 18l cygnet water boiler. I think i could "borrow" it, if you know what i mean. :whistle: Would this be big enough to use as a HLT. :wha: Then i could use my buffalo purely for the main boil. :D

Thank you. I'm on the case with the tap, just need to enlarge the hole to accept the tank connector. The camping shop will think i'm nuts if i buy any more roll mats :rofl:

I think a homebrew shop is a good place to start. The one near to me set me up as a complete novice with the basic equipment and a lot of questions answered. :thumb:

Hello Brewdudes and dudesses, I have a 40l buffalo boiler that will hopefully go into action soon. I just wanted to check if it needed any modifications so it maintains a rolling boil. Also, did i read recently that there was an optimum boil temperature? I should have writen it down. Many thanks...

My kit is also coming together slowly. Way too slowly.

Ok. Thank you :thumb:

:wha: I'm not sure i understand this. Is it a replacement for conditioning or just a different way of getting gas into a beer? Sorry if thats a daft question. :whistle:

I have the same things in mind too. :cheers:

I've just ordered one. :D . I may get into trouble. :cry: .

Stone cold. Why the cling film? Mine goes straight in(fnar fnar)

[b]Update [b]Went with the s-04 and rehydrated before use. After 24 hours have a head like not before. Not just a head of foam but a thing of crazy shapes. Pleased :grin: . Would love to see it growing with time lapse photography. Laters brewers

Hello Bigbeer. Do not be afraid of asking what you may think is a dumb question. I am new here too but learnt lots by asking and reading. I do not use an airlock when fermenting beer. I just loosly fit the lid of the fv. Keg/bottles, both have pro's and cons. Either will do. CO2. I add to the...

Hello Brewsters. A St peters ipa arrived in the post yesterday and will get it on the go tomorrow. (thank you brew). I'm not sure why but i ordered some safale s-o4 at the same time. Is there any benefit of using this yeast over the one provided in the kit? I'm also going to rehydrate the dried...

I know hindsight is a horrible thing and i only live 10mins from the colchester homebrew shop, but would it be wise to invest in a 2nd gas bottle to avoid the panic when it runs out? I must point out, i still only have one and will panic when mine runs out :wha:

With all those lemons could you make some limoncello?

I have used super glue on my copper joints in my recently made but still unused mash tun. I think they sometimes use the stuff to stick together wounds in hospitals. I figured if it was ok for that then i'd be ok too.

I'm having trouble with a couple of barrels not clearing as well. I've put it down to the drop in temperature so i've put them back in the warm for a bit with a big dose of patience.
