    Do commercial breweries buy in yeast?

    It comes down to economies as someone taking over a brewery in Dent the cost per batch for dry yeast of £40 to £90 for 500g of yeast gets added on to the keg/cask price I bought a starter from Brewlabs in order to propagate our own supply of yeast employing top cropping like most other breweries...

    New Festival British beer kits

    I brewed the Wrights Golden last year I tried it with a bottle of Wrights golden to compare…. The kit beer in my opinion was better than the original which had the aftertaste of Nail varnish/pear drop truly awful. They really are quite good kits as a primarily all grain brewer I am impressed.

    Grainfather G70 - worth it?

    well I've just done a 60 litre brew on the G70 Today took a while to get to the boil but that is my only criticism the counter flow chiller with a bit of adjustment of flow rates landed the wort in the fermenter at bang on 20 degrees

    Anyone using a King Keg 30L Chubby

    depends on what style I am brewing want really most ales at 10 psi and lagers at 15 psi, I was fermenting a beer a while back where I wanted some yeast esters 2psi allows that. I'm quite attuned now to the different pressures I learned most of this on a Fermentasaurus a couple of years back...
