    Seven arrests after 'illegal abattoir' found in Telford

    I wouldn't mind betting that they are dead before they get them in the van.

    Better quality King keg cap

    If your king keg leaks, send it back and let them know what a pile of crap they are. Save your money and buy cornies instead. You can fit the valves for the gas capsules and use them in exactly the same way as your crappy plastic kegs, and they are about the same price as the (invented by satan)...

    Buying Beer Online

    Try a search for a local brewery, I think a lot are delivering to the public in polypins or bottles, and kegs or keykegs if you have equipment for dispense.

    Can anyone recommend a decent auto siphon?

    Nope, in my experience they are all a pile of *****, for the reasons you state above they probably ruin more beer than just tipping it out of your fermenter would. Get taps on your fermenters and attach tubes to them, no need for sucking and no oxidisation. p.s I gave up after trying 3...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    He's definitely in that hospital. My wifes cousin has a very ill baby in there (not covid) and has to battle her way past all the paps and journos, who in no way adhere to the social distancing rules, blocking the entrance she has to use. He's not where the press think he is though.

    Top of the range Beer Kit v All Grain

    I think your expectations change the longer you brew. I started with a kit bought for me as a xmas present. I think it was a lager kit. I was pleasantly surprised that I could make something with an alcohol content that left me alive the next day and that started me off. I went through all the...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    How long does the cough last @Bevvied ? I'm up and and down and not feeling too bad atm, although when I feel hot, I find that swmbo's cold and turned the heating up and visa versa. But the cough is driving me nuts. Once I start, it's uncontrollable and nothing comes up.

    Is a RO filter worth it?

    Also the harder your water is the more you will waste removing the solids, and I would guess chthon's water is not metered. I successfully brew lagers and pales using additions. Why not pop into a local brewery and ask how they treat theirs? (when we're allowed out again). I bet they neither...

    Is a RO filter worth it?

    I used to have one when I used to keep tropical fish. If you're on a water meter, it'll cost you a fortune. There's no way you'll store all the waste in a water butt. I can't remember the actual figures, but they waste a vast amount of raw water to RO water collected. My water rates were in the...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    I felt a little better today, so tried to drink a pint and couldn't manage it. I can only sip water as the coughing makes me feel sick if I consume too much.

    The Coronavirus thread.

    I think I may have a mild form of covid 19. I had a sore throat for 2 or 3 days, the cough came on yesterday and I had a fever for just one day, strangely. I also ache all over and have a persistant headache. I took paracetamol over night and had a coldish shower this morning. My breathing is...

    Why are Tilts so expensive and can you justify the cost of buying them

    I paid £135 for mine iirc, and I plan to buy another soon. I didn't have to justify the cost, as I didn't tell swmbo how much it was. I think it was worth it. If you don't mind opening the fermenter every day, just buy a floating thermometer and leave it in the fermenter along with your...

    Why are Tilts so expensive and can you justify the cost of buying them

    I've had the ispindel, I now have a tilt. You can check your brew from anywhere with the ispindel as it connects to the internet, however, they are a pain in the arse to calibrate and you have to use a 3rd party website to connect. The £30 ones you have seen on ebay are just for the components...
