    Fridges For Kegerator

    I think the 12l keg would need to stand on the compressor lump, not sure there would be enough height. I’ve got a 9l new style one so can try it out to see if it would fit in the cut out.

    Have you found a 'happy medium' temp for fermenting the Helles and the bitter?

    Grainfather S40 - Mistake? Shall I return and get something else?

    On my G40 I leave it for a few mins after the boil to let it cool down to 95C-ish before using the pump to push hot wort through the CF chiller, that is a high enough temperature to kill off any nasties that might remain. Prior to starting my brew I do run some water and then sanitiser through...

    Deionised water - reassurance wanted

    No RO water would be fit for human consumption as, drinking it neat, is bad for you as it will extract vital minerals from your body. The process of brewing adds minerals back in, making the beer produced fit for human consumption. I use Spotless mixed with tap water, usually around 80% for my...

    Scottish National Homebrew Competition

    Did you brew this for the Malt Miller/CBC comp originally? I entered 3 bottle conditioned ones of mine and had the same issue, actually scored higher than I expected as, from the keg, it’s getting very hazy and thick. I wonder if heavy hopping with English hops can cause stability issues.

    Hazelwood’s Brewday Part 2

    I tend to brew 25l batches in my All Rounder so I can keg 19l and get about 8 or so bottles as well for comps. Depending on the beer I'll either just use a bottle wand into a glass bottle or, for hoppy beers, I use a carbonation cap on PET bottles so I can purge with CO2 and fill under a bit of...

    Which fridge for kegerator?

    +1 for a Hotpoint RLA, easily fits two of the wider kegs in. You can even get a 30l commercial keg in it.

    Cost of Home Brewing

    A UK pint is 568ml so your glass has around 30ml head space.

    And they all complained about Hancock...

    Which medicine is that? A lot of medicines can cause death and are still in use as the benefit to the majority outweighs the negatives.

    And they all complained about Hancock...

    What he said was violent and misogynistic. The man is a c*nt.

    Equipment Wanted Blichmann beergun v2 - buy or rent. Help avoid xmas disaster!

    The other method is to use plastic bottles with a carb cap and bit of dip tube, connect gas first to purge, loosening the carb cap a little to let air/CO2 out. Then close up, pressurise to same pressure as keg, connect beer line and crack open the carb cap, loosen/tighten to control flow. Once...

    Brew to Bottle - Fermenter King Gen 3 £80!

    Doing my usually idle trawl of home-brew shops and noticed B2B are selling Gen 3 fermenter kings for £80, reduced from £125 - seems like a bit of a bargain, does this mean there is a Gen4 approaching @foxy...

    Sugar query

    For amount of sugar per bottle, I just use the priming calculator with a ’batch size’ of 0.5l. For my particular beer I think it suggested 2.3G a bottle, so just one of the smaller drops.
