It's stainless but like @Dads_Ale says it's likely leaking through the thread. I think next time I'm going to blu tack the outside, it's not a lot of water loss. I think just a bit more of a seal externally will stop it.

It's the seal between the kettle and tap, I have rubber and metal washers both sides, along with vaseline and tape, but it still seems to leak. When warm the leak stops, so only really a problem overnight before a brew day.

I thought this would just become a problem as I got older, but no. Unfortunately of late I've found I've been leaking in the night. Vasaline, thread tape, plastic tape, all to no avail I long for the dry nights of my youth...

Weirdly enough I had the same thing with a current brew. All malt wort, and 90% attenuation. Added a percentage point to my ABV as well! I do find CML yeast do attenuate more than they state but not normally this much more?

I avoid the price per L function, don't want to think about my wastage!

Did the Mrs ask you "what do you actually do for work" like mine did?

@Obadiah Boondoggle sounds like a bit of you this.

Did this the other day, but no way near as organised as you. I also added the inventory to BrewFather, so hopefully this is the last time!

Not many places you can pick up such a variety of malts at under 90p a KG. As well as picking up 25kg sacks for under £20!

You've certainly lucked out there, great value.

I believe its 50 years of Campaign for Real Ale today, cruel twist of fate being all pubs are closed so getting a pint of commercial real ale is a bit of a task. What are your thoughts and memories of CAMRA through the years?

It depends what you want. If you want to be able to cold crash/lager, then you could use either for either purpose. You may also want to check which can accommodate your kegs/fermenter(s).

Thank god. I have had issues with notifications on threads, particularly when there are multiple posts, or I ignore one and then go to read it again. Cruel irony in that you'll likely be sick of dark beers, having judged so many recently.

In place of an auto syphon, you can always fill your line with water and put your thumb over one end. Then raise the other end up higher so all the bubbles rise, then fill the remaining part with water so no bubbles remain. Then put your other thumb over the other end so no water gets out. I...

If they don't want it I'll happily have it... just saying...

Very much agree ties are no good for most. Yes there was the introduction of the beer orders, which in the interest of competition, or should I say not in the interest of monopolies pub groups are limited to 2000 sites. In my opinion the tie does not work well for all parties, in most cases...

Totally agree that poor performing and unsustainable longterm businesses should not be sustained on a longterm basis, however I don't believe the level of support offered currently is long term support. I think there will be a number of businesses that will fail, but we all suffer if this...

I can't really objectively comment "as I have skin in the game" so to speak, but what's the difference between a pub and a restaurant and why should one be more valuable than the other. Hospitality as a whole is a massive employer, adding billions to the annual economy.
