    New Equipment Advice

    Hi @Ghillie @Kristian Purcell The ACE usually has two elements: 1500W and 900W, if I remember correctly. On my model, the 900W element had been disconnected at the factory, leaving only the 1500W. This was ideal for mashing with a voltage regulator to reduce the power. For boiling, it just...

    Hello all

    Hi! I started with kits and moved on to all-grain. Kit beers were good, but all-grain were excellent.

    Hi! Perhaps a meeting without the home brew at first, just to demonstrate to the owners/landlord that you are going to purchase enough ale to make it worthwhile. If it's in the Sheff Tap, I'm up for a short train journey to get to the meeting.

    CO2 regulator help

    Hi @giraffe It's not "lefty loosey righty tighty" - it's the opposite. You'll find that most members work in psi rather than bar. Once your keg is over-pressurised, all you can do is vent it using the safety valve.
