More than one member on here has a BM. I bought one of the first programmable models after they stopped making the manual models. The fine filters were made of fabric. I now have two a 50 litre and a twenty litre. Usings the additional malt tubes I can brew from 10 litres to 60 litres. Would not...

The point that I am trying to make is if the thread on the tap is too long you cannot compress the rubber washer and it will always leak. Even the new style Wilkos barrels have the same fault. In fact the only solution with these is to shorten the thread.

I will say this for the last time. If it is leaking past the washer on the tap it is almost certainly due to the tap thread end hitting against the moulding of the barrel and no amount of ptfe will stop it leaking. The answer is to cut 5mm off of the thread or clear the obstruction in the barrel...

You should have bought them here then https://www.brouwland.com/en/our-products/brewing/swing-top-bottles-and-closures/fliptops-and-accessoiries/d/rubber-ring-for-flip-top-closures-100-pcs#.VEYLfpVd75o £4 quid for 100!!!

I had the same problem and although I was prepared to buy them from the US they would not ship them outside of the US. Someone eventually brought them back for me. They are brilliant. I sterilise them before use in a pressure cooker. If you do get hold of any don't use chlorine or Starsan on...

You could try buying it! Taking into account what Graham has given to the homebrew community and what he has undergone recently.

Try Graham Wheelers Brew your own British Real Ale. 3rd edition page 188

:hat: If you are brewing your beer correctly this is the way to do it.

There are solutions to the problem when you are all grain brewing such as hot break/cold bread during and after the boil which precipitates a lot of the protein in the form of trub. When you are brewing with kits this is not possible and probably your only way out is a period of cold...

Is this an all grain beer?

This is a fear held by many homebrewers but have a look here at a commercial brewery using open fermenters. http://www.undergroundartproject.com/blog/2007/11/25/the-nuance-of-open-fermentation/ Have you ever taken the lid of of your FV once fermentation is fully underway? If you are using...

This is how your bottled beer will end up if you follow my advice. It is a photo of a bottle turned upside down showing the yeast (WLP 037) tenaciously clinging to the bottom. Another quick tip you might find helpful is when you bottle, if you batch prime, fill a small carbonated water...

If you disconnect the freezer's internal thermostat without bridging it the freezer wont start. The STC 1000 only reads ERROR if there is a fault with its own sensor

I run it through a socket and forget about the freezer stat because even set to minimum it is way too low to worry about.

Please see my last post and then go back under the stone that you crawled from Bye Bye

Hi Here is the proof that the method I outlined before actually works. I up ended a bottle of bitter that had been fined and took this photo. The Yeast by the way is WLP 037 and as you can see there is no more than a spray paint coat of yeast and it is clinging tenaciously to the bottom of the...

Here it is then Oxford Advanced Dictionary Quote "Amateur" person who creates something with artistic skill. That just about sums up my beer.!! Have you ever been happy? or did you have a bad experience as a child?

I have no problem keeping up and you still have not grasped that the third transfer removes whatever you have used as finings therefore it cannot affect the bottled beer. It is your arrogance that will not accept that perhaps there are people who have more experience and wisdom than yourself and...

I will stick with this thread in the hope that someone who does not know it all will benefit from it. As I said previously if you are going to prime your finished beer it is easier in my opinion to batch prime especially if you split the brew between barrels and bottles and to do this you need...
