Old farts brewery....... He is very entertaining and down to earth, always tinkering with kit and recipes and recently his efficiency has gone through the roof due to SLOWWWW doughing in, he is costing each pint at 15p !! Homebrew Chris is worth a watch - just to see his various stages of...

It was page 90, the Czech pilsner....nice n easy for a first lager attempt.

And on a side note......consider treating your water......I live right in London next to the east London reservoir's- the water comes out of the tap fighting, so I use Tesco value water- but even so, I still give it the crs treatment.....I think it makes a difference. ...I'll shut up now, time...

Me too for the next round...XL ......

Although I'm updating bits n bobs in the system (about 10 years old now) I still enjoy the "heath Robinson" style of things- even though I use a shiny fermenter and brews fridge. Whatever you use, if it works, stick with it....but there's always room to tinker!

Sitting in the brewing shed drinking my first ever AG lager.....its blooming lovely and so so far removed from the swill we have on offer from the big boy brewers.....I used malt miller lager malt and safale lager yeast+ saaz hops all per Greg Hughes recipe. Its got so much more body and taste...

Fair play mate, I think its a brave move- bravo.

Got mine from a local independent pub/club suppliers.....£15.90+ vat for a pub size refill....

Been using a converted cooler for years now with no problem....use a stainless fermenter in brew fridge without airlock, just the stainless lid on. Ss fermenter along with temp control has changed my brews beyond belief......the mashtun works well so until it springs a leak or something similar...

I have used jubilee clips, so i guess thats my problem, i also use the stiff sort of pipe and not the squishy silicone.....i will have a look for the clips on ebay, thanks for your help:thumb:

My co2 has just blooming well leaked everywhere, so I'm probably the last person to give advice, however try an independent pub/bar suppliers- they are usually much more relaxed than the big boys, failing that there are suppliers on eBay, but it costs !

Just popped down the cave for a night time beer.....realised I had left the co2 tap on but the splitter taps off, so all OK I thought- oh no, its all gone....every single cc of gas.... I'm a lucky fella as I've got an independent pub suppliers close by that charge £20 for a large refill...

just out of interest, what was the yeast ? 22c should be within the range of most...... was it in a ferment fridge/chamber ?

+1.....it was still cold outside a month ago....let it do its thing, ive still got a wherry thats been slowly, and i mean slowly, chugging (crawling) since early jan.. its still not ready !

.......Im gonna give that a go on my next brew Sadfield- top tip, i'm still learning :)

What a donut........:D:D

Is it high hop levels that need to calm down, or a def infection ? i wouldnt chuck it just yet- i had a Greg Hughes US Amarillo beer that took a while to calm down, but turned out fine after about 6 weeks in the keg (just as it was finishing !)

Hello mate, Ive had two of these from different ebay (china) sellers and both work fine... excuse the question but have you def wired them up OK? I had to you tube it to see the wiring before i understood it. you can also google it and look at the images result and it shows you wiring...

Just one quick twopenneth worth.... Whilst i totally agree and subscribe to what the others have said, its also important to clean the tap innards on the wort boiler BEFORE you put your wort and subsequent hops in it.....i talk from experience and much frustration. What I found was although the...

And before you realise you will be lured by the "shiny" side.......Mmm stainless !!!
