I'm planning to do warm fermentation soon. Big box full of water, aquarium heater and temp controller (I got a spare one - lots of aquarium heaters come with own thermostat) , put fermenter in and hopefully it will keep temp at around 30.

If you don't mind doing 250g each, I will take Mosaic and Hallertau.

From the picture, main bit that rusted were handles and bolts - is there any rust inside? Maybe the handles are made from cheaper materials?

Just got myself some dried Voss Lellemand to try. Wonder if they work well enough for IPA?

You can clean it off , I'm sure and than passivate it to stop rusting again Some info here:

Thanks @xozzx , will keep my eye out for those

I'm on the other side, I'm the one that snores. For last couple of years we sleep in separate beds. Been tested for any issues, problem with how my nose is build - only operation can fix it, it might not but it will be quite painful afterwards. Didn't go for it, nose plasters don't work either...

Thanks Harry, I think I can find space in the shed, but this is not really ideal place. My shed is around 30 meters away (long garden) form the house. I'm good with DIY, no problem there. Second problem, if I buy second hand, those things are huge and I have only Astra - don't know anyone with...

Thanks @Hoddy , sounds like great idea. Already thinking about second keg and possibly second fridge :D, I still might need one for fermenter. Another question from me: With second keg, if I want to have 2 different carbonation levels, I guess I have to use a manifold, but non of them have...

Got something , but not sure how to style it. SHould be a bitter, but added to much of chocolate malt, so it taste more like stout. Would that be OK to send? Bottled on 1st Sep, so properly matured :)

Thanks @Graz and @Markk Mark, you fridge looks really great like that. With serving beer lines, how often do you clean it? I guess if it not used in couple days it can go bad and affect all beer your pour? I'm not a regular drinker, sometime don't drink any beer for 3-4 days. At the beginning...

looks great :) Did you split gas line? or have a manifold back there as well? And does gas cylinder needs to be in the fridge as well?

Just connected everything to check it out, quick soapy spray and nothing seem to be leaking gas. I have used PTFE tape on all threads - hope it is OK to use it? I might need bigger fridge lol. Current one will hold ONLY one keg.

Thanks for that. Basically to following normal conditioning according to a style. Simples

Keg arrived saturday at work, so that was very fast shipment. It does show it age, might buy brand new one next time, only £20 difference. As I'm now fermenting lager, I will put into keg and plan to do 30psi for few days and lower it to like 5psi for laggering? With ales, after initial...

Busy day today, brew Augustiner Helles lager clone, bottled Saison and labelled wilko Red Devil that is now ready to drink - quite decent beer that one.

auto-syphon - use it to transfer beer, bottle beer and such. So much better than just normal tube :)

Thanks guys for those responses. Keg kit ordered, collecting gas canister after work today.

Finally I'm giving in and buying keg system. Going for this one to start with: https://brewkegtap.co.uk/collections/keg-kits/products/standard-keg-kit-with-deluxe-party-tap I think it is right for me, but happy for suggestions - I got a fridge and that's it - all in the shed Some questions if...

my last Kolsch, recipe by @David Heath - brilliant beer, huell melon hops added fantastic taste. Before that very hoppy pale, but for some reason second time it wasn't as good
