    Have you tried a new buffer? Mine read exactly the same the other day, 9.18, until I mixed a new buffer, then it self calibrated to the correct reading.

    Timothy Taylor landlord

    Right! Do you know, when your knocking on a bit, and you know why you're going into a room and what you want to get, but as you walk through the door, you forget why you're there. Or you ask what's for dinner, 3 times, convinced you've not already asked. Well there's another version, your...

    Timothy Taylor landlord

    Thinking of doing the Graham Wheeler Landlord tomorrow. It calls for white sugar, anyone done it? Anyone replaced the sugar with grains? Is there any benefit, or should I just add the sugar?

    Spunding valve ruined (BlowTie 2)?

    You can take the gauge out and all of the mechanism is exposed, looks a bit like a watch. You've got nothing to lose by gently flushing it with some distilled water or r/o. What's the worst that can happen?

    RO Filters

    By the way, of the three you've listed the cheaper one is the best option, for all intense and purpose they are identical, you can swop the parts from one to another and you'll end up with the same unit. Except the cheaper one has a backflush valve which will greatly prolong the life of the...

    RO Filters

    Try this guy, I've just bought an identical unit, except 75 gpd for £42 and some pennies, including postage, got it next day. I've had several over the years (used to keep marines) and this is as good as any, apart from the 5 stage 150 gpd with a pressure pump that I got new for £20, but that's...

    Show us your dog

    I'm afraid that was the old problem of predictive text and I missed it!! His name is Bronson, although, funnily enough, one of his pups was named Boris, and I know he WAS named after the PM.

    Vyair RO Filter sale

    I've just bought a 4 stage 75 gpd from directwaterfilters for £42.45. importantly it comes with a back flushing fitment which extends the life of the filters. Strange Steve is right, it must be stored wet or you'll bugger the filters, so if you buy second hand factor in a new set of filters...

    Beginners Guide to Water Treatment (plus links to more advanced water treatment in post #1)

    Just a bit of info that maybe helpful to some. Proper tropical fish shops, not places like pet city, but particularly ones that do marines, will often do a water test for you, sometimes using salifert kits, but often using proffesional equipment, not sure what the cost would be nowadays, but...

    Beginners Guide to Water Treatment (plus links to more advanced water treatment in post #1)

    Thank you both. So, dihydrate it is, is 77% OK? Is it a better idea if I use RO up to a balanced blend and my tap water for my darker beers?

    Beginners Guide to Water Treatment (plus links to more advanced water treatment in post #1)

    Just a bit of clarification please. I'm in Kent, so the water is hard and alkaline, from memory, (could be dis-remembering) when I used to keep marines, and regularly tested the water, it used to average about 270ppm for alkaline and 145 for Calc. before going through my very expensive pumped 6...
