just hypothesising but i would imagine the flaked maize will have a much higher starch content and therefore convert out with less residuals than malted barley and give you more gravity points for your buck. Edit And check out your expected FG!! it will be light n dry thats for sure ;) .

Ha Welcome to brewing and congrats on picking a plumb issue to cut your forum teeth with.. As you can see different brewers have different thoughts and there is a LOT of slightly different ways to approach this and many other aspects of the passtime. the key factor to keep your focus on is its...

Cleaning is a pita with most cfc solutions,and afaik only straight tube cfc solutions while bulky do solve this problem. But once clean to your satisfaction i would suggest at least 1 x stringent sanitation run in an attempt to eradicate everything even if your only realistic option is the...

Whens the inaugural brew then? and whats on the menu?? have a ball with it and take a few snaps for the brewday report too ;)

The speedfit connections to UK comercial style beer taps are not really considered serviceable. for service kits you can ask a local landlord for the number of your local freelance dispense engineer (cellarman), he may be able to help ?? edit for orings, simply measure the size and buy packs...

Hang on they swapped out the lethal key n windup razor edged strip for pull out top n bottoms a few years back didnt they?? btw i stopped eating tinned meats (by choice) some time in the 80's ;) ..

Dont tell your kids your destination on days out into town, ffs thats parenting 101 as it gives you the tantrum and hassle free get out when you arrive and see queues not conducive to a good day out.. #1 it diminishes the surprise and enjoyment for the kids, and #2 commits them to...

Pressure barrels are a very cheap all in one alternative to a 'real/expensive' dispensing system with a keg, pressure system, and tap etc.. And once you have acquired the knack of cracking the tap taking into account the varying amount of pressure they can be very useful systems to dispense...

shame about the FB after all the work and thought invested in it.. best laid plans etc.... grand pot build otherwise.. yu might wanna check out homebrewbuilder for your fb if looking at cut to fit perforated ss sheet cut 1-2mm undersize a length of split beer/gasline makes the ideal seal ;)...

is the general rule this end too.. the last pint drawn from a keg can be depressingly crystal clear ;) and a chill haze may be negated with a slightly warmer serving temp than straight out of the fridge.

is the bitterness lacking or just aroma? either way both can be adjusted in the FV the former with an addition of boiled hop liquor 'tea', and the latter with a dry hop addition in the demijon for upto a week prior to bottling colour?? if this needs? adjusting, i think the above shandy...

its at least 5 years since i made a caskwidge purchase and paid iirc the high pnp. they may have alternative options that I either missed or have been offered since.. so at least confirm the pnp is sky high, and perhaps email/phone asking a normal royal mail postage perhaps? dealing with...

the trick to cleaning a fine ss mesh is to let it dry, and then give it the once over with a stiff bristled scrubby brush, soak and dry again and repeat until dust n flour stops flying when you scrub the mesh with the stiff brush. generally takes 2-3 repetitions

as a long time spider champion, imho NO! not much if any and if any change in hop utilisation is registered its more likely to be a nominal decrease if anything. socks are smaller in volume and more mobile which would indicate easier heat and fluid flow penetration than with a larger volume...

poormans temp control involves negotiating a bit of freezer space and a daily exchange of a frozen 2l or bigger ex milk bottle of water in either a binbag insulated in a sleeping bag wrap, or perhaps a waterbath.. i think with a 25c temp in your 'cool' spot its worth consideration at least...

yes a simple friction fit on a short dip tube is all you need, (and directing the curl across the widest aspect of the keg you can.) in a minikeg with its central dip tube the feed tube would exert too much pressure against the keg side imho, tho you could try some thinner walled tube, 110mm x...

btw i dont have shares in caskwidge and while i may like their product, i do think they could offer way cheaper pnp options ffs ididnt need to pay for a next day service which was a staggering £15 iirc!! so big thumbs down on that front..

the soft silicone tube provided with a red caskwidge float will result in rubbing/friction of the float on the keg wall, not enough to be an issue if the float is dropped into a full keg, but the stiffer pvc tube used on the cheaper pressure barrel floats would imho be a much bigger hassle in a...

yes, that and a short gas dip tube and oring to replace the long product out dip tube, while some may suggest simply swapping gas and beer posts and feeding co2 down the long dip tube, without a check valve on the gas line your reg is at risk under conditions of a temp rise and excess...
