    Gizmo of the week

    1 for Starsan, 1 for Purple Line cleaner and 1 for fresh water makes line cleaning a breeze. Got mine from Ali as cheaper.

    Electric cars.

    I take delivery of a Volvo XC40 Hybrid in June. I'm lucky in that I receive car allowance / option of car. The cost of an EV was extortionate and the benefit in kind tax on petrols and diesels was prohibitive. Hybrid was the happy medium. I currently drive a 2.2ltr 4X4 diesel - originally...

    Football Season 2022/23.

    I was and continue to hope for Real Madrid to inflict a humiliation. As it is, 0-0.

    Football Season 2022/23.

    Yep - said to the wife it'd be a tough one. Nailed that prediction as usual.

    Stagnant water drops during secondary FV transfer = contaminated?

    After boiling my wort the other week, I attached the chiller and turned on the tap. When I got to the AIO, the water was leaking from the hose and chiller connection, dripping into the wort. I too was worried as there must've been water in the hose for at least 2 weeks. Beer turned out fine...

    Newbie in need of some advice

    I use the wife's knickers. They're certainly big enough.

    Fermzilla All-Rounder - What fridge?

    I use an under counter too with a shelf made of 12mm ply. If you invert the stand to the lowest setting and tilt the gas post to the front then you can easily fit a gas disconnect. I attach that to a spunding valve.

    Dark rock nectaron 1 tin kit

    Yes, was good too. I often swap out with Kveik but just used what it came with (rehydrated) and no problem. It ended up about 4.2%.

    New spundy valve

    FFS, how hard can it be to manufacture a standard gas disconnect? Is this the same product/manufacturer? Perhaps just a bad batch.

    General lager help (especially the lagering)

    NHBC? You're bribing them with beer to get issues sorted in your new build houses? I should've returned to brewing earlier to avoid the annual leak, NHBC and Insurance claim.

    Keg filling question please

    I do closed loop transfer to the brim - ie, it starts to come back up the gas line. I pre pressurise to 12 psi and have the same serving pressure in the Keg. No idea how much that is beer wise though.

    Brewfather - Maischfest 35L

    Thank you, hugely appreciated. Are you using a bag in the grain tube - if so, is the dead space effectively the dead space to the tap which your not decanting into the fermenter? I ask as on my 2 uses so far I've put it all in the fermenter. Thanks again.

    Fridge or Freezer for Cornies?

    I'm fairly new to kegging etc but I went with fridge (it can fit 2 19L cornies a smaller 5L/9L keg and a 6Kg Gas bottle). I went with fridge for cosmetic reasons and because I didn't fancy lifting 19L into a chest freezer).

    Pond Water or just oxidation

    The first kit brew I kegged I oxidized. It looked like that but also tasted bad. I'd purged the keg but clearly not enough and hadn't purged either the gas or beer line. It was an early lesson for me and meant that I now always Star San purge the keg and beer line and burst purge the gas line.

    What are you drinking tonight 2023.

    Last of the ones the wife forgot to cancel. It's OK. I might need to remind her to cancel.

    Kia Ora? I assume it'll be a cross of oranges and Rita.

    Grain prices creeping up.

    Sack being 25Kg? If so, 32p a Kilo? % wise that's still a huge increase for them. Edit - hopefully correct maths but a disclaimer of I only got a GCSE C and I have had a fair few pints already.

    What are you drinking tonight 2023.

    Nailed it. The one I just posted up is 4.5% and not one I will drink again.
