I had a delivery from the Wine Society this week via DHL. The email said it would be here between 1518 and 1618: it arrived at 1420 and would have been left on the doorstep if I hadn't caught the driver and asked him to put it inside the front door. Here (southern edge of Gloucestershire) and...

We enjoyed watching the start of the Tour de France, which took place in Denmark for the first time. Fantastic support from the Danes and a great feeling over the three days - such a tragedy that the weekend had to be marred by this senseless and wicked act.

I have three King Keg snub nose fermenters with the narrow-ish necks, but I use a home made "bucket blaster" which gets them spotless with some percarbonate (including the krausen line). I know that percarbonate can leave deposits when used with hard water, but I have found that some 10% citric...

Quite right, too - standards are important! I think if GF ever bring out a smart neoprene jacket for the G40 I would buy it. In the meantime my solution is functional but it doesn't look as nice as yours!

The cover I used to have for my Brewzilla had a fabric outer layer, whereas the neoprene foam that Anna used does not appear to have, so I wonder how durable it will be. I made an insulating jacket for my G40 from a double layer of insulation roll - the stuff that looks like metallised bubble...

Back in the days before all figure phone numbers, London exchanges had names: when all figure numbers were introduced these used the corresponding numbers. For example, my home phone when I was a lad was Putney 6*** (PUT 6***) - this later changed to 788 6***, then 01 788 6*** etc. When local...

Despite messages exchanged with @Getlucky (Steve Ackers) I have still not had a resolution of my problem (faulty part) referred to them in March.

This has been covered extensively in previous threads, but the short answer is yes, it will fit.

I have often wondered if crushed grain settles in transit (in a 25Kg sack) giving greater efficiency from the bottom of the sack compared with the top. If it does happen, it would obviously depend on the amount of vibration to which the sack was subjected on its travels. When I was using crushed...

The G40 needs them - it is a b*g*er to move even empty!

Mods. Is it possible to close this thread, please, as I am no longer looking for another fermenter.

I am sorry, but I do not want a Fermenter King, mainly for height reasons. I have just managed to get another snub nose, so I must get the mods. to close this thread.

Yes, they are. German hops grown in that part of Bavaria are often prefixed with "Hallertauer". I have some German-grown Cascade that were labelled "Hallertauer Cascade".

I have a couple of these Generation 3 fermenters, but I could use another one. I do not feel like spending any more with the supplier I bought them from, so I am wondering if any member has a 35 litre snub nose they no longer need - either Generation 2 or Generation 3? Please do not offer me a...

I ferment at 10psi, but I don't cold crash and I don't like my beer too fizzy. Your 12 psi looks about right, or why not start at 15 psi and see how it goes?

Consider Champagne v. Prosecco. Champagne is carbonated naturally, Prosecco is force carbonated after fermentation. There is general agreement as to which produces the better wine. If this were not the case, why would winemakers the world over boast that they use the "methode Champenoise"? To me...

Even if the GF had handles, it would be inadvisable to use them to lift it when full. Other manufacturers (e.g. Brewzilla) warn against this. These handles are spot welded and cannot take a lot of weight - I had one break off a GF stainless fermenter when I tried to lift it by the handles when full.

I hate hop spiders. When I had a Brew Monk I had one of these from Angel Home Brew. It worked brilliantly and kept the pump clear. If it fits your kettle it is a great accessory. It actually worked better than the bottom filter on my new expensive GF G40...

This is my caravan and Saab 900 Turbo on my first visit to Ghent thirty years ago: can anyone identify the make and model of caravan?

Perhaps it came from chlorine in the tap water left in the hose overnight?
